This is still my favorite of the Jazz in Paris series. Max Roach delivers one of his best peices on this disc, which is the title track, Parisian Sketches, a 17+ minute journey of great hard-bop jazz featuring a pretty underated cast but it still offers a very solid sound. You can always tell a Roach drum solo and there's plenty on this disc. The title track is broken up into 5 parts with each having thier own title and movement. Much like a piece of well orchestrated music. Tracks 2-5 aren't as great but they stand out very well and this is the type of jazz I'm most fond of. Something you can read to if you want or something you can play during dinner. It's a good mix.
