OUTRE MUSIQUE POUR ENFANTS 1974-1985 (vinyl)

Description

France, crossroads of the 1970s: the Chevance collection exploded the codes of children's music. Blending forward-thinking folk and avant-garde jazz, driven by a strong literary spirit, it built its extraordinary catalog under the direction of producer Philippe Gavardin, in the tradition of the Saravah label's experiments or the iconoclastic publisher Harlin Quist. Anti-fables, songs from mysterious lands, chimerical bestiaries... It brought together a whole host of classy, free-spirited musicians and launched its singers into orbit by exploiting the whimsical potential of texts by Jean Tardieu, Robert Desnos, Jacqueline Held, and many others. "Essential, in the fullest sense of the term, unique and regretted, this extraordinary collection liberated the imagination of parents... on their children." - LIBERATION. "TO BE REDISCOVERED ASAP..." - TELERAMA.
