Sugar & Spice
CD (Item 853448) BMG (France), 1972 — Condition: Used
Related searches
A rich, warm session from French tenor giant Guy Lafitte – one of the most soulful players to come out of the Paris scene of the postwar years, and a player with a sound that's somewhere between Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster! Lafitte's really in his element here – blowing wonderfully laidback solos in a group that features a 4-piece trombone section on about half the album, plus some more stripped-down settings with Raymond Fol on piano. Given the date and the title, the set should come across as hokey, but for some reason it doesn't – and that's largely because Lafitte's tenor work is so compelling – like a voice from the past that you think you've heard before, but somehow missed. Great stuff all around – and with tracks that include "Teemoo", "Chloe", "Passion Flower", "Sugar & Spice", and "A Lollipop For Chris". CD also features 2 bonus tracks – "Isn't It Romantic" and "Do Nothing Until You Hear From Me". © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.
When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.
All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
