Belgian jazz artist Bobby Jaspar died far too young at age 37 in 1963, but fortunately made a handful of memorable dates as a leader. His last studio session under his name, previously reissued on Verve as Phenil Isopropil Amine, has been renamed Jeux de Quartes for its 2002 edition in the label's Jazz in Paris series. Jaspar sticks exclusively to flute on these December 1958 studio recordings (his last as a leader, except for several live dates that have appeared on Fresh Sound and Mole Jazz). He's joined by drummer Kenny Clarke, Sadi Lallemand or Michel Hausser (who also doubles on xylophone) on vibes, and either Paul Rovere or Jymie Merritt on bass, as well as percussionist Humberto Canto (on one of the two sessions). Jaspar's soft arrangements prove very appealing for his originals, standards such as "Lullaby of the Leaves" and "There Will Never Be Another You," and classic jazz tunes (an exotic "Misterioso" and a Latin-flavored "Chasin' the Bird," the latter featuring Hausser on xylophone). This 2002 reissue also corrects several of the misspellings of song titles and names present on the earlier CD. This is easily one of Jaspar's finest recordings as a leader. ~ Ken Dryden
Personnel: Bobby Jaspar (flute); Michel Hausser (vibraphone); Kenny Clarke (drums).

| | Cyro Baptista Beat The Donkey CD (2002)
Jeux De Quartes CD music
$13.09 
Make no mistake -- Beat the Donkey (translated from the Portuguese "Pau la Mula" as "let's go" or "let's do it") is not a reference to animal cruelty, but percussion Cyro Baptista's calling card to party. This debut recording for the group is split into fragments of small ensembles, a rotating cadre of players (a sextet at best) from many different disciplines. They range from riotous celebratory dance to multi-ethnic elements, cerebral, lighthearted, at times goofy and at other times heavy. There is no real core band, but rather a Gypsy circus loose association with Baptista clearly the madcap ringleader. Brazilian music can be the center of Beat the Donkey, but also Balkan sounds, nomadic music, rock and funk, and a festive attitude that surely appeals to summertime outdoor merrymaking. Carnival meets hard rock circus at a stoner party during "Caranguejo ...

Jeux De Quartes songs
$8.45  
This 1964 Blue Note release features Jackie McLean and his band in fine form. A hard-bop record with polytonal leanings, ACTION exemplifies an era in jazz when new ideas were truly budding. Ornette Coleman and his associates had been playing free jazz five years prior to the making of this album, but it took a while for the hard-boppers to digest the music and embrace the freedom that the style brought ...
| | Rock Follies CD (1976) (Import) Bonus Track
Jeux De Quartes album
$7.55
It took a quarter century for Rock Follies to get reissued on CD, which is amazing, considering that it was not only a number one charting album in England in 1976 (supplanting a Led Zeppelin album, no less), but actually entered the U.K. charts at number one, and sold enough to generate a follow-up LP. Hearing it anew nearly 30 years after its original release is a strange experience -- the novelty of an all-woman rock & roll band is, of course, long gone, courtesy of the Bangles, the Pandoras et al (and even in 1976, there was the precedent of Fanny); and it wasn't even that much of a novelty in 1976 except for the fact that the group had such a superb production pedigree, with Roxy Music's Andy Mackay calling the shots musically. For those who don't remember or weren't around, Rock Follies started ...
