This CD edition contains the two complete long unavailable trio albums recorded by the legendary French pianist Georges Arvanitas for the Pretoria label. He is accompanied on both LPs by well-known American guest artists.

Highly influenced by the music of Bud Powell, these were among Arvanitas' earliest albums as a leader. Both albums were very well received in its time. '3 a.m.' won the Prix Django Reinhardt and the Prix Jazz Hot, while 'Cocktail for Three' won the Prix Jazz Hot and the Prix de l'Imternacional Jazz Club.
