Le Temps Fou
A 6 track free jazz album (12m ) — released August 18th 2023 on Le Tres Jazz Club
In 1967, saxophonist Marion Brown, then aged 36, already had a very successful career in the United States. He has appeared in Coltrane's"Ascencion", Archie Shepp's "Fire Music", performed with Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders and recorded several records under his name for renowned avant-gade jazz label ESP Disk. That year, he however decided to move to Europe where he met with German saxophonist and vibraphonist Gunter Hamphel. Accompanied by Steve McCall (drums and percussions), Barre Phillips (double bass), Alain Corneau (Cow bells) and Ambrose Jackson (trumpet), they recorded in 1969 in the legendary Parisian studio Davout, the soundtrack of the movie by Marcel Camus entitled "Le temps fou". This film, which starred Nino Ferrer, was released in 1970 under the title "Un été sauvage" and unfortunately it did not make history of cinema. Fallen into oblivion, only his two original soundtracks (there is also a 7'' with titles composed by Richard de Bordeaux and Daniel Beretta) are spreading the word.
Originally released on Privilège, a sub-label of Polydor, this soundtrack is almost impossible to find in its original pressing. It took more than fifty years for it to finally be reissued, to the delight of free jazz enthusiasts and film music collectors.
