'Beautiful stuff – and one of the most stunning jazz albums ever recorded – a blinding mix of harpsichord, cello, and Indian percussion – with a sound that's unlike anything else we can think of! The album was the brainchild of the cross-culturally fertile Saravah records at the end of the 60s – home to experimental work by Brigitte Fontaine, Barney Wilen, The Art Ensemble Of Chicago, and others. From the start, the group wanted to work in a boundary-less territory that really pushed the limits of jazz – drawing in inspiration from world music, and working in a style they called "baroque", to emphasize the bizarreness of their project. Given the heavy use of tabla on the set, the album's got a really driving rhythmic component – making for some funky numbers that have been sought-after jazz-dance tracks for years. And the role of the harpsichord is surprisingly strong – played in almost modal lines, but with a hesitating, lilting groove that's quite different to similar use of the piano at the time.' - crusty groove hype
seen this one kickin around the interwebs of yore, but couldn't find an active link anywheres & since i'm on a saravah kick, it seemed appropriate that this one ought live here as well. don't need justification for being piratical, but honour must exist even amongst thieves. we try not to post albums easily available elsewhere unless we can somehow improve upon em, as life's too short to be redundant & there remains plenty with zero representation in the greater grokosphere. harpsichord, violincello, traps, tablas & even a bit o' jazz flute fire :) 320 remerciements à the og artists, label & uploada
