Captain Tarthopom by Jean Cohen-Solal, released on Connection in 1973. Phillipe wrote on Prog Archives: First formed in electro acoustic researches and in contemporary improvised music, Jean Cohen Solal delivered two intriguing, very personal albums during the 70's. Today, Flute libres and Captain Tarthopom can be considered as ultimate masterpieces without reaching a specific musical label.

Comme à la radio is the fourth album by experimental French singer Brigitte Fontaine, recorded with Areski Belkacem (in their first collaboration) and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It was released in 1969 on the Saravah label after a series of concerts in 1969. It is Fontaine's most famous album, and is known outside of France on the 1990s alt-rock scene, thanks to laudatory comments from Beck and Sonic Youth The album received the Grand Prix du Disque of the Académie Charles Cros that same year. The single "Comme à la radio" has been covered by Japanese artist Jun Togawa in 2000 - Wikipedia I picked this up in a bargain bin in the 80s, knowing the Art Ensemble but not Brigitte Fontaine. Taking a chance was rewarded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmpW0soAwok&list=RDFmpW0soAwok&start_radio=1 #BrigetteFontaine #ArtEnsembleofChcago #Areski #Jazz #VocalJazz #Music #FrenchMusic #Chanson #ChamberJazz
