QUAND LE SON DEVIENT AIGU, JETER LA GIRAFE A LA MER (vinyl)

Description

THE DRUM POET (Siné) The cult album finally available on vinyl AN ELUSIVE AND FASCINATING DRUMMER, HE WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AS A TRULY ALIEN FIGURE ON THE JAZZ SCENE. A musician without equal who sat behind his drums alongside the greatest from the age of ten! While Thollot initially frequented the bebop scene of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, he transitioned into free jazz during the 60s, subsequently venturing into projects, bands, and musical experiences, each wilder than the last. His album Quand le son devient aigu, jeter la girafe à la mer, released in 1971 on Futura, Gérard Terronès's label, has, over the years, achieved cult status like few others... Originally released on Futura Records, a label run by GÉRARD TERRONES. The album title, borrowed from the poet HENRI MICHAUX, is a true indicator of the fascinating beauty of magnificently crafted compositions that evoke another album by another iconoclastic drummer: THE END OF THE YEAR by ROBERT WYATT. You have been warned, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.
