Souffle Continu Records present the first ever reissue of
Steve Potts
's
Musique Pour Le Film d'Un Ami
, originally released in 1975. In 1975, Steve Potts left
Steve Lacy
for a time to compose
Musique Pour Le Film d'Un Ami
following the proposition from the film's director
Joaquín Lledó
. With guest musicians of quality and from vairied horizons, the saxophonist recorded a soundtrack ranging from modal jazz to free funk and from dirty grooves, to java wah-wah with disconcerting elegance. Rather than blaxploitation, Potts and his group offer us their mixploitation made in Paris which would be recognized way beyond the boundaries of La Défense. If you have never seen
Sujet ou le secrétaire aux 1001 tiroirs
(1975), Steve Potts will allow you to listen to it. The film was made by a friend of his,
Joaquin Noessi
, a pseudonym of
Joaquín Lledó
, for which the saxophonist composed the music in the mid-70s. It was recorded in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Potts was joined by the musicians he played with regularly at the time with Steve Lacy (
Jean-Jacques Avenel
,
Ambrose Jackson
,
Kenneth Tyler
) but not just them... Because, on
Musique Pour Le Film d'Un Ami
, you hear funk musicians (pianist
Frank Abel
and percussionist
Donny Donable
, both also expatriates, who played in the group
Ice
), nimble French musicians (
Elie Ferré
and
Christian Escoudé
on guitars,
Joss Basselli
on accordion) and unclassifiable men-of-all-seasons (
Keno Speller
on percussion and
Gus Nemeth
on double bass). The production was assured by another iconoclastic figure:
Jef Gilson
. It was an eclectic team, and they made an eclectic album, as shown by the track titles. Steve Potts just has to shake it all up and let the notes pour out: modal, (even cosmic, jazz) free funk, dirty grooves, cool jam sessions, bistro boogie, java wah-wah...
Musique Pour Le Film d'Un Ami
is a shattering album of shattered atmospheres. Remastered from the master tapes. Restored artwork. Licensed from Steve Potts.
