  Has there ever been anyone greater in the world of jazz? Hardly.

  So happy you've put this up. I also saw it too on ABC TV and have been looking for it ever since. I remember thinking 'This Is The Coolest Guy In The World". One reason why YouTube is so fantastic. Thank you so much.

  Thank you so much for sharing this. I had actually recorded the music from that show onto a cassette tape which I lost years ago. I thought that I would never hear this again and didn&apos;t realise how much I still missed this particular recording until I saw the title and clicked on it in quiet anticipation.... It feels like a weight has been lifted or a missing piece of my life has returned. Is that strange?

  I have to clarify, the VIDEO was made in the 80&apos;s, not the recording. It says, it was recorded OFF the television broadcast. The original broadcast is clearly in Paris. I don&apos;t know when it was FILMED, and I could not find any dates.

  A friend shared this video and now I&apos;m really touched with this beautiful version of Fleurette africaine. I&apos;m sure I&apos;m going to enjoy the rest of the video. <br>Thanks for sharing.
