Безумный авангардный джаз от талантливейших экспирементаторов “Art Ensemble of Chicago”. Альбом был записан в 1970м году в Париже, как саундтрэк к французскому арт-хаусу новой волны “Les Stances A Sophie”, режиссера Moshe Mizrahi.
Главная жемчужина на пластинке это легендарная девятиминутная композиция “Theme de Yoyo” – психоделичный джаз-фанк cо жгучим вокалом Фонтеллы Басс (её супруг Лестер Боуи был трубачом в группе). Остальная часть диска (помимо коротенького финального соул-джаза “Proverbes II” также с вокалом Фонтеллы) – это сложный для восприятия, хаотичный инструментальный фри-джаз. Людям с раскрытыми чакрами полюбому вставит 🙂
Blaxploitation.com review:
This quite extraordinary cosmic jazz score was recorded in France by Lester Bowie and Art Ensemble of Chicago in July 1970. The album features vocals by the excellent singer Fontella Bass, who also plays piano. As you might expect from the name of the group, this is advanced (and for the most part, very experimental and free) jazz, so won’t appeal to all. The sheer power and audacity of the music stills holds the listener spellbound during many of the tracks, the best of which is the stunning ‘Theme de Yoyo’. Very hard to find on original vinyl, this album has since been reissued and the best track was also showcased on a Universal Sounds compilation a few years back. Don’t miss it if you’re open-minded and like a leftfield approach to your music.
И в качестве небольшого бонуса предлагаю Вашему вниманию, парочку фрагментов из фильма Les Stances A Sophie + интервью с саксофонистом Жозефом Жерманом из “Art Ensemble Of Chicago” (бонус с двд релиза фильма).
And as a little blaxy bonus – i’ve add a couple of episodes from the movie, plus interview with Joseph Jarman.

This is indeed dynamite free Jazzy Funk, for the more Wize Folks! The movie is also artsy and worth a watch. I actually had the fortune of meeting Lester Bowie in person for a brief interview before his passing when they were playing in my hometown. They were as fun to watch as they are interesting to listen to.

This is indeed a Free Jazz-Funk experience! Thamx MusicDawn for sharing this with us all. I actually had the fortune of meeting Lester Bowie for a brief interview before his passing when they were playing in my hometown in 1995. They were as fun to watch as they are interesting to listen to.
Thanx Funkback! This score recall me of the powerful soviet free-jazz lp by George Garanian and Melodiya “Ensemble” – Labirinth . George Garanian – great soviet saxophonist and composer passed away yeasterday.
Честно говоря, я сам ещё не дорос до восприятия свободного джаза – для меня он черезчур какафоничен. Помимо этого альбома не углублялся в их творчество.

Послушал альбом. Спасибо, никогда не слышал о таком коллективе прежде. А вот сэмпл из ЙоЙо, оказывается, слышал у Синематик орчестра)
