Often neglected, unsung and ignored, the music of the Caribbean no less formed the basis of much American music, which subsequently conquered the world. In turn, the USA left a deep mark on it, which produced an irresistible magic - from Cuba to New Orleans and all the way to Martinique, Haiti, Jamaica... Bruno Blum has selected the cream of the founding recordings of different Caribbean styles, recorded between 1949 and 1972, for this high-performance, wide-ranging anthology.

Not only a major figure in the record industry and show business, Eddie Barclay also left his mark on the InchpeopleInch pages of the tabloids he was famous for the parties he hosted for socialites in Saint-Tropez, while his friendships with the stars made him a public legend. Yet few remember that Eddie Barclay was a precursor he was one of the first in France to import jazz and rock'n'roll records from America. When he created his own tag, Barclay Records, he brought in legendary music figures like Quincy Jones and Boris Vian, Frank Ténot or Daniel Filipacchi to work with him on the artistic side. Not many today know that Eddie Barclay was also a pianist, bandleader and jazz fan with a hundred of his own recordings to his name... Here Jean Baptiste Mersiol throws light on the forgotten history of this arranger, performer and producer with a 3 album anthology that deserves it's place in music history.
