Kuhn, Joachim -trio-
Scream For Peace
The Linoleum Analog Series is dedicated to the edition on vinyl (only) of rare recordings, mostly unreleased, made in studio or in concert, mainly made originally on magnetic tapes in the 1960s and 1970s. The main idea of the collection is to combine the historical interest of the chosen sessions with the musical and sound quality of the recordings. André Francis ("Mister Jazz" from Maison de la Radio) recorded this concert by the Joachim Kühn Trio on October 12, 1969 at the Musée d'Art Moderne, on the occasion of the Paris Biennale. Among the many musical archives of the pianist, the choice was jointly fixed with him on this concert, perfectly illustrating what the trio was playing live at that time, higly improvised and hyper- expressive music. The sound restoration work was carried out in partnership with the INA. Each side of the LP opens with a long piece that makes us feel all the fever, all the intoxication of free jazz, and closes with a ballad of crazy lyricism. And you will capture the urgency of the saxophone, a scream, a vitriolic cry, to deliver this scream for peace to us. A scream that sadly is still truly needed today.
