...Saint-Germain-des-Prés are inclined to peer through their existentialist glasses darkly. The most successful of the Parisian rock 'n' rollers is a 31-year-old self-styled gypsy who goes by the name of Mac-Kac (real name: René Reilles). A jazz drummer, Mac took to rocking after the U.S. film called Rock Around the Clock (starring Singer Bill Haley) caught the fancy of Parisian teenagers two years ago.

Coleman. a 27-year-old former child prodigy from The Bronx, decided to launch the room chiefly because he lived up the street, wanted a nearby showcase for his piano, and was tired of working for other people. He signed up a drummer and a bass player, opened seven months ago. He plays when the urge hits him or when the unadorned, beige-upholstered room is comfortably filled. A pianist of infinitely varied beat and volume, he is as effective on lacy, lilting numbers like My One and Only Love...
