I hope the copyright-holders will tolerate this excerpt for non-commercial jazz-research - identification of the unknown musicians & intro- & leave-out tunes.
On behalf I would put this into the privat sector only with links to a few researchers. Its a really fine relaxed session - but I fear it will not be released in total for inclusion of other jazz-film-footage.
I need assistance for line-up & title identifications.

all 1310 ORTF-archive & INA-listed sessions from 29 different french TV-series/festivals 1952-2001 are overworked in disco layout w. concert+TV-dates, line-ups,titles & programs on pdf
