ARMONICORD - ESPRITS DE SEL



Jazz with harpsichord is not so famous, here is a fantastic and unknown album of French free jazz with a very special touch… Free and organized. The most famous name in the band is certainly Jouk Minor who have played with Leon Francioli or Pierre Favre.

-Harpsichord: Odile Bailleux
-saxophone alto, oboe, english horn, flute: Jean Querlier
-Soprano, baritone saxophone, picolo flute, clarinet, gumbri, contrabass: Jouk Minor

  2. Great choice! Shall come back after listening to the music.
    BTW - the guy on trombone is Joseph Traindl not "Joseph Traimbl". He played with the Reform Art Unit and Athanor.
