A live recording album from 1971 by the enigmatic French pianist Jean-Philippe Blin, whose name has never been heard outside of this album, as a trio. The members are François Méchali, a specialized bass player who participates in the improvisation group Cohelmec Ensemble and Andre Jaume's works, and Jean-Jacques Schnell, a drummer who is also mysterious. The trio's youthful performance (Blin was 24 years old at the time) and the pleasant atmosphere that flows throughout the entire album are wonderful, and their performance style shows respect for Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans loved “Alice In Wonderland”, Bob Dylan's cover, and two tracks (A4/B3) by Jean-Philippe Blin score are fascinating for our store. First Original.
本作品以外では名前を聞かない謎多き仏人ピアニストJean-Philippe Blinがトリオで残した71年のライブ録音作品。メンバーには即興集団Cohelmec EnsembleやAndre Jaume作品に参加する特殊ベース奏者François Méchaliとこちらも謎多きドラマーJean-Jacques Schnellという編成。当時24歳だったという若さ溢れる演奏も感じながら全体に流れる心地よい雰囲気が素晴らしく、演奏スタイルからもリスペクトが伺えるKeith Jarrettの楽曲、Bill Evansも愛した”Alice In Wonderland”、Bob Dylanの楽曲、そして当店的にはJean-Philippe Blinスコアの2曲(A4/B3)に魅かれます。そしてこの青春のひと時を切り取ったようなジャケットのアートワークにも惹きつけられる。ユーロジャズの傑作群のひとつと知られています。ファーストオリジナル。
