French composer/drummer Jean-Pierre Bottura is known for a series of works he left for contemporary ballet. This double album features his 1971 record “Danse Jazz Moderne,” which offers a modern interpretation of jazz, plus a disc containing four tracks labeled “Moderne Compositions”. The “Moderne Compositions” side features four experimental contemporary pieces with distinctive sound space. The 1971 works, including the deep and elegant groove “Pop Corn - 5” and flute infused jazz samba “Samba” are, needless to say, great. It's a bit of a shame the sound quality isn't great, being a private album.

現代バレエのために残した一連の作品が知られる仏人作曲家/ドラマーJean-Pierre Bottura。本作は71年に残しているモダンにジャズを解釈した”Danse Jazz Moderne”のレコードにModerne Compositionsとつけられた4曲を収録した盤が付いた二枚組アルバム。Moderne Compositionsサイドでは独特な響きを持った実験風コンテンポラリー全4曲を収録。非常に面白いコンポジションが聴けます。ディープかつエレガントなグルーヴを奏でる”Pop Corn - 5”やフルートの入るジャズサンバ”Samba”を含む対となる71年作は言わずもがな素晴らしい。自主盤につき音質があまりよくないのが少し残念。
