Reissue, originally released in 1971.
Solaire
,
Siegfried Kessler
, that is the least you can say! Aged four: learns piano. Aged six: his first concert. After this: studies classical music like everyone else... until the jazz of
Jack Diéval
and Stan
Kenton
turned everything upside down. So, it was goodbye to
Bach
... And hello to
Dexter Gordon
,
Joe Henderson
,
Ted Curson
, and
Archie Shepp
(who he would accompany over a long period). In 1969, with
Yochk'o Seffer
,
Didier Levallet
, and
Jean-My Truong
, he formed a group which would mark history and create a sensation:
Perception
. If French free jazz exists, its thanks to Kessler (and company). The following year, the pianist recorded his first album:
Live at the Gill's Club
. On this one-night concert date can also be heard
Barre Phillips
and
Steve McCall
. But it was in 1971 that Kessler would record his greatest album; still in a trio setting, but this time with bassist
Gus Nemeth
and percussionist
Stu Martin
:
Solaire
. Five tracks of extraordinary music, moving back and forth between modal jazz and contemporary music. Let's begin at the end, with the title track "Solaire", on which Kessler plays a melody on flute and piano which resists all onslaughts. It sends out powerful waves, Kessler's jazz, bubbling like hot oil ("Persécution", "Drum"), shaking modal jazz to its roots ("De l'Orient à Orion") or upsetting the memory of a cantata ("Bach Hcab"). The piano is an instrument which can provide a tendency towards, demonstrative technique; with Kessler, it is something else: a joyful persecution. Carefully remastered from the master tapes by
Gilles Laujol
. Graphic design by
Stefan Thanneur
. Licensed from Futura. 180 gram vinyl.
