A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...

JEF GILSON BIG BAND Jef Gilson A Gaveau (2020 limited edition 8-track LP, first issued in 1965 and now quite a rarity! Remastered for this new release on Sam Records and pressed by Pallas on 180g vinyl. Beautiful reproduction flipback picturesleeve using original photos, includes a double insert with photo. The 'A Gaveau' title was an expression of proudness and accomplishment for Jef, as playing adventurous jazz in a big-band format in this beautiful venue solely dedicated to classical music since its foundation in 1907 was a groundbreaking act. Recommended)

Tracklisting: Contrary to what the title implies this album is not a concert recording, the original compositions from Jef Gilson that make this program were captured a month after this historic show, at the mythical studio Davout that had just opened that year (The Rolling Stones, The Cure, but also Art Blakey or Chet Baker were to record there before it closed down in 2017). The A Gaveau title was an expression of proudness and accomplishment for Jef, as playing adventurous jazz in a big-band format in this beautiful venue solely dedicated to classical music since its foundation in 1907 was a groundbreaking act. Martial Solal only had managed to play jazz there before him in a more standard trio format that resulted in a live album called Jazz A Gaveau. Jef Gilson was already active on the jazz scene for years prior to this recording as he started performing with Claude Luter and Boris Vian just after WWII. But his first album, already a big band playing his compositions, was only released four years before this one, in 1961, with an apt title "Enfin !" (at last!). Strongly independent and with radical and original views on jazz, Jef was a tough and hard-working fellow. At that time he already was a pianist, composer, arranger, sound engineer, producer and a music theorist (he later wrote a controversial book on harmony). Jef wouldn't compromise on anything and by design self-produced most of his records. SFP was a co-op label where self-produced artists could find a home. It was a temporary one for Jef before he founded his own studio and his PALM label at the beginning of the '70s. Journalist and critic for Jazz Hot, Jef was always on the look-out for new talents. Some of the musicians who he directs on this album are barely 20 years old and yet unknown, but many would soon be rising jazz stars and a few of them are still recording and performing to this day. You can still attend shows in France by Michel Portal, Bernard Lubat or Jacques Di Donato who all started their career in Jef 's big band. Side A: 1. Made for Mad (J. Gilson) 2. Jazz a la Quarte (J. Gilson) 3. Nuages de Pierre (C. Lenissois) 4. Happy Filou (J. Gilson) Side B: 1. Modalité pour Mimi (J. Gilson) 2. Je me souviens encore du Grand Orchestre de Dizzy Gillespie en 1948 (J. Gilson) 3. Jazz Gymnopédie (J. Gilson) 4. Quintes de Tout (C. Lenissois)
JEF GILSON & CHRIS HAYWARD Pages D'Écritures (1982 French only 11-track LP which explores improvisation technique, 12 Tone & serial structures as well as paying homage to heroes such as Eric Dolphy, complete with French & English double sided narrative insert, also featuring Al Levitt on Drums, Eric Lagace on Bass & Philippe Delettrez guesting on Tenor Sax, picture sleeve. Apart from a little scuffing to one edge of the insert, the sleeve shows minimal shelfwear & the vinyl is flawless LOCO0330-2)

Tracklisting: 01 Deux Temps Trois Mouvements 4:25 02 Eric 3:40 03 Maté-Matic 4:07 04 Blues For Al 5:36 05 Philo 3:51 06 Pages D'Écritures 5:22 07 Symétries 5:30 08 Chrysalide 1:25 09 Lo Parpalhon 3:18 10 Melanco-Lee 3:30 11 Geneviève 1:37
