Confusingly this was reissued in 1956 as Volume 1 and then again in 2001 as such.

Hum ! by Daniel Humair, René Urtreger, Pierre Michelot, released on Vega in 1960.
And here is an English translation of Raymond Mouly’s original French liner notes from the album:
“During the Fall of 1960, one could hear at Club Saint-Germain-des-Pres a trio, full of swing and musical skill, delighting a small number of fans, gathered in close groups, as entrenched from the inattentive crowd of international squares. The three men conveyed with their music how much fun they were having, even though they had only been playing together for a short time; but the way their musical conceptions complement each other, the compatibility of their personalities, and their common love for a work well done, have given their trio a remarkable degree of quality.

René Urtreger Trio by René Urtreger Trio, released on Versailles in 1957.
A review of a compilation which includes all the tracks on this 1957 French LP on parsifal.be:
...René put together a new trio with Paul Rovère on bass and Al Levitt on drums, Lewis decided to cut four tracks for an Atlantic album he produced called Jazz Piano International, intended for the American market.
This, in turn, piqued the interest of the Versailles label, which asked René to record a new trio album, which he led with hard swinging imagination. There is a free-wheeling, coasting sort of feeling to his playing that is, still today, truly exhilarating. He was described by André Hodeir as “one of the European musicians who swings the best.”...

Modern Moods From The Club St. Germain aka Maurice Meunier And His Orchestra by Maurice Meunier And His Orchestra, released on Barclay in 1956.
A rare gem from the postwar jazz scene in Paris -- a sweet set that features both clarinet from Maurice Meunier, a great player who's clearly learned a lot from the American artists who were becoming regulars on his scene at the time! The date has Meunier working in both quartet and quintet formation -- with players who include William Boucaya on baritone sax, either Raymond Fol or Rene Urtreger on piano, Pierre Michelo on bass, and Christian Garros or Jean-Louis Viale on drums! The work has a tightly swinging mode, with perhaps a slight echo of bop -- a bit like some of Buddy DeFranco's best work for Verve in the 50s, especially given the sharp tone that Meunier gets from his horn.- Dusty Groove

Jazz in Paris: Joue Bud Powell Review by Ken Dryden
René Urtreger was only 20 years old and brand new to the jazz scene at the time of his debut recording, yet he was already making an impression. His tribute to Bud Powell finds him playing bop with some authority, covering some of the troubled genius' best compositions. Accompanied by bassist Benoit Quersin and drummer Jean-Louis Viale, Urtreger shows a tendency to tackle nearly everything at a moderate tempo, though it might have been that his rhythm section wasn't up to handling a faster pace. "So Sorry Please" is full of campy humor as Powell intended, though "Parisian Thoroughfare" would have benefited from a bit more risk-taking. Urtreger's two original works include the roller coaster "À la Bud" (which seems to be based on the chord changes of "Tea for Two") and the stunning ballad "Mercedes."
