Souffle Continu Records present aa reissue of
Jacques Thollot
's
Watch Devil Go
, originally released in 1975. "To write these few lines, we spoke to saxophonist
François Jeanneau
, an old friend of Jacques Thollot who also played on several of his albums, including the
Watch Devil Go
which interests us here . . . A noted studio had reserved three days for a Thollot recording session. The first morning was devoted to sound checks and putting some order in the score sheets which Jacques would hand out in a somewhat anarchic manner. Then everyone went for lunch. When the musicians returned to the studio, Thollot had disappeared. He wasn't seen again for the three days. When he reappeared, he had already forgotten why he had left. The music of Jacques Thollot is in the image of its' author: it takes you somewhere, suddenly escapes and disappears, returning in an unexpected place as if nothing had happened. Four years after a first album on the Futura label in 1971, Jacques Thollot returned, this time on the Palm label of
Jef Gilson
, still with just as much surrealist poetry in his jazz. In thirty-five minutes and a few seconds, the French composer and drummer, who had been on the scene since he was thirteen, established himself as a link between
Arnold Schoenberg
and
Don Cherry
. Resistant to any imposed framework and always excessive, Thollot allows himself to do anything and everything: suspended time of an extraordinary delicacy, a stealthy explosion of the brass section, hallucinatory improvisation of the synthesizers, tight writing, teetering on the classical, and in the middle of all that, a hit; the title-track -- that
Madlib
would one day end up hearing and sampling.
Watch Devil Go
was in the right place in the Palm catalog, which welcomed the cream of the French avant-garde in the '70s. But it is also the story of a long friendship between two men. Jacques Thollot and Jef Gilson had known and respected one another for a long time. Though barely sixteen years old, Thollot was already on drums on the first albums by Gilson starting in 1963 and would play in his big band (alongside
François Jeanneau
once again),
Europamerica
, until the end of the '70s. In a career lasting half a century and centered on freedom Jacques Thollot played with the most important experimental musicians and they all heard in him a pulsation coming from another world." --
Jérôme "Kalcha" Simonneau
. Licensed from Palm / Geneviève Quievreux. Remastered from the master tapes. Includes eight-page booklet with rare and unpublished photos.
