  Odo, Count of Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was a son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and is sometimes referred to as duke of France and also as count of Paris.
For his skill and bravery in resisting the attacks of the Normans at the Siege of Paris, Odo was chosen king by the western Franks when the emperor Charles the Fat was deposed in 887, and was crowned at Compiègne in February 888.
He continued to battle against the Normans, whom he defeated at Montfaucon and elsewhere, but was soon involved in a struggle with some powerful nobles, who supported the claim of Charles, afterwards King Charles III, to the Frankish kingdom.

 Amazon.com: April in Paris: Music: Count Basie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Count Basie's band endured because of its leader's uncanny ability to put together fresh arrangements and strong soloists while maintaining the band's unique devotion to swing; this CD is among the most enduring of the big band recordings of the 1950s.
Throughout the recording are terrific solos by trumpeters Thad Jones and Newman and tenor saxophonists Foster and Frank Wess, all basking in the band's glorious swing.
April in Paris is one of those CDs you just never get tired of; like many jazz hallmarks, it invites, insists on repeat play.
