European Episode is an album by American jazz saxophonist Lee Konitz and French pianist Martial Solal recorded in Italy in 1968 and released on the Campi label.

Fred Bouchard wrote for All About Jazz:

"..Fleet meets phlegmatic in this exquisite 1968 meeting during a Konitz tour of Europe with Algerian-born pianist Martial Solal and le plus grand rhythm section in all Europe back then: drummer Daniel Humair and bassist Henri Texier.

The kaleidoscopic, Tristano-esque (often bitonal) "Collage on Standards rambles over one-third of disc one, not merely touching but massaging Tin Pan Alley ("Please Be Kind, "Johnny One Note, "My Funny Valentine ), Rodgers & Hammerstein ("The Song Is You, "People Will Say We're In Love, "Old Man River ) and Euro-faves ("Come Back To Sorrento, Chopin licks)..."

Jean-Luc Ponty: Sunday Walk released in 1967 on MPS

David Spicer wrote on Jazzwise:

"A truly pan-European jazz summit, featuring a Danish bassist, Swiss drummer, German pianist and French violinist, Sunday Walk was Ponty's fourth appearance on record and second album as a leader. Not yet 25 years old, the firebrand fiddler was already displaying the fierce, impatient energy and clear, strident attack that would lead to him being lured over to Los Angeles by Frank Zappa and into the orbit of the Mothers of Invention just a couple of years later. But, in 1967, the jazz-rock and fusion that he was to help pioneer hadn't even been invented yet. Here, he blazes a trail across bouncing boogaloo, fidgety bebop, sprightly waltz, louche ballad...Recorded with a live and loose club-date feel, the whole session zings with passion and commitment."
