The
Workshop De Lyon
(previously known as
Free Jazz Workshop
from 1967 to 1975) is one of the first French free jazz bands. They never stopped playing in 50 years. This boxset is a reissue of their seven LPs (from 1973 to 1997) plus a long out-of-print CD and some live bonus tracks from 1979 and 2010. After some changes of musicians at the very beginning of the band, they released their first album in 1973 with
Jean Méreu
(trumpet),
Maurice Merle
(sax),
Patrick Vollat
(piano),
Jean Bolcato
(bass), and
Christian Rollet
(drums). After the first album Jean Méreu left the band and the young
Louis Sclavis
joined the band. On the third album the pianist left which left the band as a quartet to this today. Louis Sclavis left the band after 14 years to be replaced by
Jean-Paul Autin
in 1988. The death of Maurice Merle in 2003 almost marked the end of the band.
Jean Aussanaire
replaced him quickly and has stayed in the band since. Workshop De Lyon played thousands of gigs all over the world: Brazil, Syria, Egypt, USA, and all over Europe. They have their very peculiar sound and tunes, you might call "ARFI soud", named after the musical collective they started in 1977 in Lyon including bands like
Marvelous Band
and
La Marmite Infernale
.
