Souffle Continu Records present the first ever vinyl reissue of
Free Jazz Workshop
's
Inter Fréquences
, originally released in 1973. The Free Jazz Workshop came into being in 1967 but their first album,
Inter Fréquences
, only appeared in 1973. Unfortunately there is no recorded trace of the group including the first drummer
Pierre Guyon
before he was replaced by
Christian Rollet
in 1970. One of the slogans doing the rounds at the time sets the tone: "Aesthetic liberation is but a prelude to the liberation of humanity." The trajectory of the Free Jazz Workshop (which became the
Workshop De Lyon
in 1975 with the arrival of clarinetist-saxophonist
Louis Sclavis
) is emblematic of the emancipation of the mindset of certain French musicians during this period. It has been an exceptionally long-lived trajectory a "half-century" as the members say, during which the group -- in Christian Rollet's own words -- went from being "an exploratory workshop who claimed to take no account of the musical certitudes of the majority" to becoming something of a classic institution. Right from this first album it is clear that the group would function as a collective with no designated leader. The legacy and influence of American free jazz can be heard throughout:
Albert
and
Don Ayler
, or
Ornette Coleman
and
Don Cherry
for the horns of
Maurice Merle
and
Jean Mereu
;
Cecil Taylor
for the pianist
Patrick Vollat
, absent from the group after the second album released in 1975
La Chasse De Shirah Sharibad
(FFL 032LP);
Gary Peacock
and
Barre Phillips
for the bass;
Sunny Murray
or
Milford Graves
for the rhythmic agitation; but also the
Art Ensemble Of Chicago
for the collective aspect. This lyrical, incandescent album, alongside those released by
François Tusques
and the
Cohelmec Ensemble
at the same period, represents one of the high points of free jazz produced by French musicians. Licensed from Bisou. Reverse printing; 12-page booklet; Obi strip; Edition of 700.
