Pierre Cochereau Improvisation at Notre Dame de Paris

Here is an improvisation from Pierre Cochereau at Notre Dame. I have all of Cochereau’s albums, and yet I cannot identify this particular one or what album it came from. I first saw it on one of the menu screens for the Cochereau documentary released by Solstice FY, but have yet to locate which album its on. And so I am sharing it here in the hopes that maybe someone else can identify which album this appears on, and to get it if I dont have it. I have always liked this particular (Scherzo perhaps?) one, because it embodies everything French in 3 minutes.

Enjoy! Let me know if you can identify or find it!

C'est tout à la fin du DVD Cochereau lorsque défile le générique. Du pur génie...et c'était comme ça chaque dimanche!

Sheer perfection. It's most like an 'Offertoire' - but, like you, I'm not sure of its provenance. I still get the same thrill as I did as a 10-year old, when I hear a new PC improv. Such a beautiful language...

I know virtually all of his albums and I have not heard it before. Wonderful stuff!
