LP version. 180 gram vinyl. First ever reissue. Paris, 1965. Pianist
François Tusques
laid the foundation stone of French-style free jazz with his first, soberly titled, album
Free Jazz
. Also in the team were several future key names of the French scene, (
Michel Portal
,
Bernard Vitet
,
Beb Guérin
,
Charles Saudrais
, and
François Jeanneau
) all of whom honed their skills at the beginning of the decade in
Jef Gilson
's groups, although he was none too fond of the turbulent new face of jazz at the time. Ten years later, Jef Gilson had obviously changed his tune, as the label Palm that he had created in 1973 was now the launch pad for what would become the cream of French and international avant-garde jazz. This would notably be the case for François Jeanneau and
Une Bien Curieuse Planète
. His first album as leader (after briefly erring into pop with
Triangle
) was recorded in 1975, a few months after
Watch Devil Go
(FFL 071CD/LP) by his old friend
Jacques Thollot
, and with more or less the same casting: Jeanneau on sax of course,
Jenny-Clark
on bass and percussions,
Lubat
replacing Thollot on drums, and
Michel Grailler
(plucked out of
Magma
) was called in as a reinforcement for his completely "out of space" synthesizer sounds. Thus began a strange trip to a very strange planet, at the border of experimental jazz and swinging avant-garde. From 1960 to nowadays, from
Georges Arvanitas
to
Laetitia Shériff
, from
Manu Dibango
to
"Mama" Béa Tékielski
, everyone has wanted to play with François Jeanneau at some point. There is a good reason for this. The saxophonist is a formidable improviser, but also a solid composer, as he demonstrates on this record with, for example, the monumental "Droit d'Asile", the spooky "Theme For An Unknown Island" or the
Coltrane
sque "Mr J.C. For Ever". Over half a century later, the planet seems far more familiar to us. And François Jeanneau is always on the front line for a guided tour. Carefully remastered and restored by
Gilles Laujol
. Graphic design by
Stefan Thanneur
. Licensed from Palm / Geneviève Quievreux.
