Night-time outside the Disco Club in rue de la Huchette, one of the oldest streets in Paris, on the Rive Gauche. A young couple are caught in the glow of the lit-up interior. Photographer Harold Chapman recalls that in the mid-1950s he read about the Disco Club in the Melody Maker, a publication about music, Jazz and Swing. When he went to live in Paris he would go to the Disco Club for a coffee and to listen to good recordings of jazz played on Hi-Fi. The interior was small and very narrow with a counter at the far end and several stools to sit on. There were no tables. During the day it was quiet and one could sit and drink a coffee at the counter and talk with the owner who would ask the customer what they wanted to hear. Behind him, stretching high above the counter, were rows of disc records and albums neatly stacked and in order. The owner had a phenomenal memory and knew exactly where a particular record was in his vast collection. At night the place was packed out with people who stood drinking coffee whilst listening to music. One day the owner asked Harold Chapman if he had enjoyed listening to a recording of Louis Armstrong and gave him the record as a gift. Rue de la Huchette, Left Bank, Paris 5, France, 1960.
