'To listen to the concert made by wild wolves in a forest is an unforgettable experience! No doubt partly due to a shiver of ancestral fear awoken in us, but above all for the real musical quality of a chorus of several voices. The title “Wailing Wolves” applies to the first six recordings, made by Bill Gunn in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. The next three recordings were made by Jean C. Roché in a French park, in Lozère, southern-central France, which has free-running European wolves.' ~ Patrick Frémeaux

sounds exactly how it looks: earie. every good home should have at least one recording of wolves to break out at parties. 320 rips later

'This is the first time ever CD featuring the voices of apes, monkeys & lemurs. These mammals, at the pinnacle of evolution, are closely related to man. The listener of this CD will discover the songs of pairs of Gibbons and of families of Siamangs: certain zoologists see in them a primitive form of “music” in the human sense of the term. This volume includes examples of the calls of monkeys and apes from Asia, Africa, Madagascar, and south and central America, as well as that of Lemurs, put together here for their aesthetic, even “musical” quality.' ~ Jean C. Roché & Patrick Frémeaux

'Gus Viseur was a virtuoso in the musette genre, during the swing era in the 1930s. He is the only jazz accordionist who is a member of the famous Hot Club de France, conducted by Charles Delaunay. Viseur began his career playing in the streets of Paris & managed to get a great sound from a chromatic button accordion. It was clear that he was doing something innovative: He helped create the accordion-jazz style known as manouche. Meeting Django Reinhardt and performing with the legendary Quintet of the Hot Club of France was an important new chapter in his life. Later he even played bebop in the fifties. He was the first to draw a link between Musette and Jazz, but he never forgot Musette. That was his main voice. There is an unbelievable strength in his playing, that gives him the ability to improvise in all those different music genres. In addition to his numerous recordings he also performed in cabarets and nightclubs. He recorded his first record in 1937 and accompanied Édith Piaf in 1940.' 320 remerciements à espilos

Singer,guitarist & occasional trumpeter Pierre Louiss was born on the French Carribean Island of Martinique in 1908, in the small municipality of Trinity. Very early on, he developed a passion for musique, taught himself to play guitar & piano & began to join local musicians at dances and weddings. His father, also an amateur musician & accordionist, died when the boy was only twelve. After this tragic turn, his mama & her kids bounced outta Martinique to live in Paris. He continued to refine his guitar playing at every opportunity & enlivened dance parties playing with his musician friends. The repertoire presented here includes Carribbean folk and popular material, plenty of jazz & of course the blues. There is strong rythm & blues influence on several traques as well. Pierre died in 1986 though his son Eddy, a fine organ player himself, continues his legacy. merci à solipse. 320k rip. r.i.p. Pierre Louiss 1908-1986.
