    Cochereau in 1959

    Two 1959 videos featuring Pierre Cochereau, from the archives of the French Institut National de l'Audiovisuel.
    (Sorry for those who don't understand French — but then, the music alone is worth it!)

    Having recently viewed the marvelous Solstice disc "Cochereau", I'm fascinated to see this as I recall scarcely any mention of his house instrument on that DVD. Fantastic! Thanks acc!

    Very interesting - and that's some house organ! You get an idea of his personality from these clips, and he comes across to me as someone very logical and precise - in fact, the exact opposite of how I used to imagine him when I'd only heard his music. In those days I always pictured him as a wild-looking long-haired hippy type, but I couldn't have been more wrong.
