The Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra was created in 1971 by French free jazz pianist legend, François Tusques. "Free Jazz" was also the name of the 1965 recording Tusques made along with Michel Portal, François Jeanneau, Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin, and Charles Saudrais. Six years later, in 1971 Tusques would go ahead of free jazz. Wondering if free jazz wasn't a bit of a dead end together with Barney Wilen ("Le Nouveau Jazz") or even solo ("Piano Dazibao" and "Dazibao N°2"), Tusques formed the Inter Communal Free Dance Music Orchestra, an association under the banner of which the different communities of the country would come together and compose, quite simply. If at first the structure was made up of professional musicians from the jazz scene it would rapidly seek out talent in the lively world of the MPF (Musique Populaire Française). Compiling extracts from concerts given between 1976 and 1978, L'Inter Communal demonstrate the "social function" which inhabited free jazz and popular music at the time calling upon Spanish singer Carlos Andreu along with Michel Marre, Jo Maka, Adolf Winkler, and Jean Méreu. Andreu, claimed Tusques, was a griot "who created of new genre of popular song improvised with our music, based on events going on at the time." L'Inter Communal can start the festivities: on "Blues pour Miguel Enriquez," it is first Thelonious Monk who is invoked in an homage to one of the leading figures of the Chilean revolution, and a victim of Pinochet. The circumstances may be serious, the music, though, is not. The musicians light a bonfire to bring together on the same frequency France and Spain, the Americas and Africa: "L'heure est à la lute," is the new song offered by the l'Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra. As if proof were needed that their music is still more than timely!

If at first the structure was made up of professional musicians from the jazz scene it would rapidly seek out talent in the lively world of the MPF (Musique Populaire Française). As with L'Inter Communal a few years earlier, Le Musichien follows on from the group of varying musicians that Tusques had conceived as a "people's jazz workshop." In 1981, at the famous Paris address, 28 rue Dunois, the pianist sang with his partner Carlos Andreu "Le Musichien," an Afro-Catalan tale over an exceptional bass line from Jean-Jacques Avenel backed by percussion from Kilikus, saxophones from Sylvain Kassap, and Yebga Likoba and trombone from Ramadolf which presented a myriad of constellations. "Les Amis d'Afrique" is recorded the following year, at the Tombées de la Nuit festival in Rennes, bassist Tanguy Le Doré would weave with Tusques the fabric on which would evolve an explosive "brotherhood of breath." Featuring Bernard Vitet on trumpet, Danièle Dumas and Sylvain Kassap on saxophones, Jean-Louis Le Vallegant and Philippe Le Strat on bombards. With hints of modal jazz inspired by Coltrane or Pharoah Sanders, the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra is an ecumenical project which speaks to the whole world.
