FLUTES LIBRES (vinyl)

Description

Jean Cohen-Solal, a free and libertarian spirit, signs two exceptional albums: reference icons in progressive music, with an ethno-baroque reminiscence, Flûtes libres and Captain Tarthopom, which reveal the talents of a mischievous and virtuosic aesthete, inventive and inclined towards the art of improvisation. Our man happily mixes rock, classical, jazz, avant-garde, psychedelic, contemporary music, a music of exploration, with influences from Zappa or early Pink Floyd, made up of long, fiercely elaborate, sophisticated themes, using a more than unusual sound palette: C flute, piccolo, alto flute, double bass and electric bass, percussion instruments (tablas, drums, various accessories), sitar, trumpet, trombone, organ, ondes Martenot, electric guitar. An initiatory journey at the crossroads of world music (Africa, Asia) and the works of Cluster, Art Zoyd (early days), Faust, Emil Richards, Jazz Q Praha, Igor Wakhevitch, and György Ligeti.
