New Call From France by The Jef Gilson Nonet feat. Jean Louis Chautemps, released in 1966 on SABA. London Jazz Collector wrote: Three of France’s outstanding front-line players: Jean-Louis Chautemps, Francois Janneau and Claude Lenissois – come into their own as solists in a nonet setting, an excellent showcase for their talents without an overwhelming nineteen-piece big band setting... It covers familiar Gilson territory, large ensemble with European/ romantic melody leanings but lots of fire in the belly. One, maybe two tracks I recognised from Gilson compendium albums, merely recognition of outstanding material, and much better heard in context of the whole contemporary album rather than a sampler of “picked cherries” without context. https://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/2024/12/20/jef-gilson-new-call-from-france-1966-mps/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l49rmbnArZU&list=RDl49rmbnArZU&start_radio=1 #JefGilson #ModalJazz #Jazz #FrenchJazz #Music #Jean-LouisChautemps #FrancoisJanneau #MPS #SABA
