Jean Cohen-Solal, a free and libertarian spirit, has released two exceptional albums: "Flûtes libres" and "Captain Tarthopom." These iconic works of progressive music, with ethno-baroque reminiscences, reveal the talents of a playful and virtuoso aesthete, inventive and inclined towards the art of improvisation. Our man happily blends rock, classical, jazz, avant-garde, psychedelic, and contemporary music—a research-oriented music with influences from Zappa and early Pink Floyd. It features ferociously elaborate, sophisticated long themes, utilizing a more than unusual sonic palette: C flute, piccolo, alto flute, double bass and electric bass, percussion instruments (tabla, drums, various accessories), sitar, trumpet, trombone, organ, Martenot waves, and electric guitar. It's an initiatory journey at the crossroads of world music (Africa, Asia) and the works of Cluster, early Art Zoyd, Faust, Emil Richards, Jazz Q Praha, Igor Wakhevitch, and György Ligeti.
