RELEASE DATE

Reissue, originally released in 1969. An iconic French free jazz record recorded at Pathé Marconi Studios. On June 27th, 1969,
Michel Portal
pushed the door of the Pathé Marconi studios. With him were drummers
Jacques Thollot
and
Aldo Romano
, bassist
Jean-François Jenny-Clark
, and pianist
Joachim Kühn
. They hadn't rehearsed anything, as if entering the studio to record an album without any plan was something normal. The musicians were obviously very used to playing with each other, as the five tracks on
Our Meanings And Our Feelings
seem to flow perfectly without any hint of improvisation. The zokra, an oriental clarinet that Michel Portal plays on "Walking Through The Land" and "Dear Old Morocco" brings a singular touch to this album. This singularity is transcended by Joachim Kühn's ability to easily go from the piano to the saxophone alto, from supporting to soloing, before playing the bells, then the tambourine, opening the soundscape.
Our Meanings And Our Feelings
may not be the first French free jazz record -- as it was preceded by the fantastic
Free Jazz
by
François Tusques
, released in 1965 and on which Michel Portal plays as well -- but it remains one of the most important. Its incredible outburst of sounds and melodies is completely free yet never turns into cacophony. 44 years after its release, it is still urgent to listen to
Our Meanings And Our Feelings
and what these five talented musicians had to say.
