Camizole blended free jazz with a touch of Klaus Schulze, whereas Lard Free was known for its brand of psychedelic/progressive jazz rock, not unlike Soft Machine. This is a vinyl edition of 500 copies, coming with an obi strip. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 31 FREE JAZZ WORKSHOP INTER FREQUENCES LP 10.2017 1. Inter Fr‚quences 15:35 2. Ode a Ion Chaney 08:45 3. Sphinx 06:17 4. Sirene 08:50 5. Air Perdu 08:35 The Free Jazz Workshop was founded back in 1967, but the first album, 'Inter Fr‚quences', didn't appeared 'til 1973. Right from this first album it was clear that the group would function as a collective with no designated leader. The legacy and influence of American free jazz can be heard throughout, including influences s.a. Albert and Don Ayler, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Cecil Taylor, Gary Peacock, Barre Phillips, Sunny Murray, Milford Graves and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. 'Inter Fr‚quences' definitely is one the masterpieces of French (and European!) free jazz. This reissue is limited to 700 copies, coming with an obi. https://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20170927_281899_50t129s8e.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 32 THE WORKSHOP DE LYON : LA CHASSE DE SHIRAH SHARIBAD LP 10.2017 1.

Telie 08:50 The Free Jazz Workshop became the Workshop De Lyon in 1975, due to the arrival of clarinetist-saxophonist Louis Sclavis. Still a source of joy, this lyrically feverish second album maintains a narrative dimension, while subtle textures develope through the contrasting collective improvisations. This reissue is limited to 700 copies, coming with an obi. https://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20170927_281899_50t129s8e.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 33 THE WORKSHOP DE LYON : TIENS!

Here's a vinyl-reissue of the third album by the Workshop De Lyon, originally issued in 1978. This work perfectly showcases how the group sounded around the time of its release, revealing a certain universal dignity which tips its hat to influences s.a. Albert Ayler and The Art Ensemble Of Chicago, transfigured with a new and exciting aesthetic approach. Irresistible! This edition is limited to 500 copies, presented with an obi. https://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20170927_281899_50t129s8e.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 034 HELDON : UN REVE SANS CONSQUENCE SPCIALE LP 12.2017 A1. Marie Virginie C A2. Elephanta B1. MVC II B2. Toward The Red Line Reissue of Heldon's fifth album, originally released in 1976 on the Cobra label. Intense, violent, bitter, abrasive, uncompromising: this recording is in keeping with the four predecessors, prefiguring both industrial- and post-rock, showing once again that the early references to "guerrilla electronics" (and to William S. Burroughs) were not in vain! Listening to this album it is easy to understand why Merzbow, Wolf Eyes and Oren Ambarchi, in the 2000s wanted to record with Richard Pinhas! It must also be noted that the often-made comparison between Heldon/Richard Pinhas and King Crimson/Robert Fripp, while still pertinent, is insufficient, as 'Un Reve Sans Cons‚quence Sp‚ciale' breaks much new ground beyond those horizons. Limited to 700 copies on clear purple vinyl. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 035 HELDON HELDON, 6. INTERFACE LP 12.2017 A1.

Une Drole De Journee B2. Stand By In 1979 when 'Stand By' was released, the press had already labeled Heldon as the first electric punk group. There is nothing silly in that, Heldon having quickly moved away from the spacey German influences which were not to Richard Pinhas' taste. Limited to 700 copies on sea blue vinyl. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 037 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 038 DHARMA QUINTET MR. ROBINSON LP 03.2018 1. Augure 2. Jerkologie 3. Balada Y Tres In an interview with Jazz Magazine in the early 1970s, Dharma, as a collective voice, outlined their method: "we try to reach, within free jazz, the same sort of rhythmic cohesion as in bop, a cohesion based not exactly on tempo, but something which feels like tempo. A kind of underlying pulse". Evidence of these ideas can be heard immediately on listening to 'Mr. Robinson', the first album by the Dharma Quintet, for whom community living seemed obvious, in order to add to the aforementioned cohesion. Through this, the group members played together on a daily basis, trying out things which were worked on day in, day out. They were also listening to a lot of records, with of course a preference for free jazz, but not forgetting Miles Davis in his electric period, notably for the keyboards of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. To which should be added esthetical-political concerns based on a refusal of hierarchy, and a desire to escape from a restrictive academic approach. First ever reissue of this classic recording from 1970. Includes a 12-page booklet. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 039 DHARMA TRIO SNOOPY'S TIME LP 03.2018 1. Minton's Memory 2. End, Starting 3. Enafrito 4. Leon Smirglub Von Bischmouk 5. Glouglou's Mood 6. Snoopy's Time Dharma (as they were simply known at the time when they were still playing) englobed all the incarnations of the group: trio, quartet (essentially as a live band) and quintet. It was built around the stable core of pianist and bassist Patricio Villarroel and Michel Gladieux. 'Snoopy's Time' is their second album, concentrated on the rhythm section including the ever-faithful Jacques Mahieux on drums. It was recorded three months after 'Mr. Robinson', the first album made as a quintet. First ever reissue of this classic recording from 1970. Includes a 12-page booklet. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 040 DRARMA QUINTET END STARTING LP 03.2018 1. Tormilina 2. Tonton SFP 3. End Starting 4. Cirrus For G‚rard Marais, guitarist with Dharma (the quintet), Albert Ayler's instruction to play your own music was the detonator. This did not fall on deaf ears, and was particularly appropriate as it would have been difficult, even for a musician attracted to free jazz, to make something of his own from the esthetic and political direction taken by Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp or Sun Ra. First ever reissue of this classic recording from 1971. Includes a 12-page booklet. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 041 DHARMA ARCHIPEL LP 03.2018 1.

Dhyana Like its predecessor 'End Starting', 'Archipel' is a constructed album, mixing free rock and European free jazz in a series of collective explosions based on abrupt and contrasting improvisations. For much of the time, piano, guitar and saxophone intertwine over intense rhythms, with everything and anything being electrified. Retrospectively, such remarkable timbral combinations, evoking sometimes the freer passages of 'Cinemascope' by Joachim Khn with Toto Blanke, make the demise of Dharma in 1974, even more regrettable.

Philippe Mate/Daniel Vallancien : Osakaphonie Although discrete, the career of saxophonist Philippe Maté includes several indispensable albums. As for the man in the background, Daniel Vallancien, a sound engineer rarely featuring on the sleeves, the collection Actuel on the BYG label owes much to him (he is at the controls behind Anthony Braxton, Don Cherry, Sonny Sharrock or Steve Lacy). Behind this collaboration was the idea of creating music which was free, direct and spontaneous, while having also a minimum of advance planning. https://www.forcedexposure.com/Product.aspx?CatalogNo=FFL.047LP --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 048 MICHEL ROQUES CHORUS LP 03.2019 01.

This album from 1971 by French jazz drummer Jacques Thollot is an extraordinary sonic collage, created from discrete re-recordings and using just a handful of instruments including drums and piano. The result is a miracle, though the economy of means the production technique succeeds in putting the spotlight on the oddly elaborate compositions under an enigmatic but well-chosen title, borrowed from poet Henri Michaux. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 050 DOMINIQUE CRAVIC & LES PRIMITIFS DU FUTUR : RESUME DES 2LP+BK 04.2019 EPISODES PRECEDENTS 01.

Portrait D'un 78 Tard Presented as a limited edition (1.500 sets) DOUBLE-LP, here's a collection of recordings from this collective with a passion for the French 'valse musette' genre, which can roughly be described as a sort of pre-war swing waltz. Though in the core inspired by Paris during the 1920s, these muscians also don't mind to throw in some gypsy jazz, tango, blues or paso doble... Dominic Cravic & Les Prinitifs Du Futur recorded four albums since 1986, all with sleeves drawn by the famous Robert Crumb. This release also comes with cover art by Crumb. And it includes a 20-page booklet with all of Crumb's previous artwork for the band, plus unseen photos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFLLP 051 PERCEPTION PERCEPTION LP 10.2019 01.

Mixing elements of spiritual jazz, free funk and dirty grooves, the album was mixed by Jef Gilson. In 1975, Steve Potts left Steve Lacy for a time to compose 'Musique Pour Le Film D'un Ami' following the proposition from the film's director Joaquín Lledo. With guest musicians from varied horizons (Ambrose Jackson, Jean-Jacques Avenel, Frank Abel, Elie Ferre, Christian Escoude), the saxophonist recorded a soundtrack ranging from modal jazz to free funk and from dirty grooves, to java wah-wah with disconcerting elegance. Rather than blaxploitation, Potts and his group offer us their mixploitation made in Paris which would be recognised way beyond the boundaries of La Defense. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 063 ALAIN BELLAICHE SEA FLUORESCENT LP 10.2020 FFLCD 063 ALAIN BELLAICHE SEA FLUORESCENT CD 10.2020 First ever reissue of highly sought after French jazz funk fusion nugget from Alain Bellaiche featuring Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra), John Hicks (Strata-East) and Fabiano (Fabiano Orchestra). Alain Bellaiche was born in Tunis and spent his childhood in Cannes, France. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and he gave his first folk concerts in youngsters' houses and clubs. Then, in 1973, he left for the States. Bellaiche would settle there for around ten years, and he recorded two albums: 'Metropolitain', which was the result of his collaboration with the Heldon guitarist Alain Renaud, and 'Sea Fluorescent'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 064 JEF GILSON LE MASSACRE DU PRINTEMPS LP 12.2020 01.

Faut qu'on First ever vinyl reissue of this highly sought after French experimental jazz record. by the legendary Jef Gilson. In 1971, the day after the death of Igor Stravinsky, Jef Gilson and his Unit (Pierre Moret and Jean-Claude Pourtier) made this curious homage to classical music. It is jazz, contemporary and electroacoustic music that the trio interrogate through a wild 'noise' session evoking as much John Cage as Pierre Henry, John Coltrane as the Percussions de Strasbourg, the Art Ensemble of Chicago as the Tacet by Jean Guérin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 065 SAHIB SHIHAB & GILSON UNIT : LA MARCHE DANS LE DESERT LP 12.2020 1.

Paris, February 1972. A few months after having released 'Le Massacre Du Printemps', Jef Gilson was back behind his keyboards for a completely different experience. Heading up his Unit, he was joined by Sahib Shihab, ex-partner to Gillespie, Monk and Coltrane, for a brief stroll in the desert. For three-quarters of an hour, the caravan passes by, evoking, one after the other, Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, Pierre Henry and Karlheinz Stockhausen... Oh yes, and one other thing, we forgot to mention that Shihab's saxophone is... amplified. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 066 MALAGASY/GILSON MALAGASY LP 08.2021 01.

After releasing a first album on Futura in 1971, Jacques Thollot was back, four years later, this time on the Palm label run by Jef Gilson, but still with the same surrealist poetry to his jazz. In thirty-five minutes and a few seconds the French drummer and composer, who had been on the jazz scene since he was thirteen, allows himself to do whatever he wants, and more. Delicately crazy suspended time, wild explosion of the brass section, hallucinatory improvisation of the synthesisers, tight writing, bordering on classicism, and in the middle of all that, a hit, the title track, that Madlib would one day find and end up sampling. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 072 CAPON/MATE/MORRIS/RAHOERSON:CAPON/MATE/MORRIS/RAHOERSON LP 11.2021 FFL 072 CAPON/MATE/MORRIS/RAHOERSON:CAPON/MATE/MORRIS/RAHOERSON CD 11.2021 01.

Capon/Mate/Morris/Rahoerson - Mode De Fa - Salegy Drums Solo In 1976, Jef Gilson suddenly had the opportunity to reunite once more his partner, cellist Jean-Charles Capon, with, Malgache musician Serge Rahoerson, in Paris for a few days. They had met a few years earlier in Tananarive to record what would become the album 'Malagasy'. The rhythmic structure was laid down in a few hours, saxophonists Philippe Maté and Butch Morris would record their parts later. That being said, this untitled album is a real marvel of avant-garde jazz, with an authentic, contagious emotion, as if it had been born of the instant communion of four musicians absorbed by their art. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FFL 073 FRANCOIS TUSQUES PIANO DAZIBAO LP 04.2022 1.
