"Jean Cohen Solal is a professional musician which majors are the Flute & Double Bass. In 1971, Jean released his first solo album
Flute Libres
and in 1973
Captain Tarthopom
. Those two albums are considered as masterpieces among Progressive Rock collectors all over the world. The first album is build from three short compositions in side A which are really interesting and catchy in a way, Those includes great Bass lines and Hammond organ riffs while Jean is blowing the flute apart. The album includes also an Indian Raga (Sitar/Tabla & Flute) which is really one of the most exciting meetings between East & West cultures. Side B of this album is a 17 minutes epic which is pure research of sounds where Jean is experimenting in a way which sounds like early Tangerine Dream & Ash Ra Temple only not as electronic. Jean had it's own style with the flute which was a mix between classical and Jazz to Avant-Garde. His method consists among others the use of multiple tracks for different flutes and also the added value of effects like distortion/wha wha etc... He also played the double bass in a very unique way which took his music into more dark teritories.
Captain Tarthopom
, his most sought after LP was released in 1973. If we need to describe it in short then the best would be to say that this album is like a mix between Pink Floyd (Ummagumma era) , Magma & Focus (Or J.Tull). This was wraped with great sense of humor and a massive production with fantastic guest musicians.Jean Cohen-Solal is a name which you can find in the famous Nurse With Wound list and it fits their as best as possible."
