A lifetime in jazz from the illustrious
French musician, producer, composer,
arranger, band leader, sound engineer,
music teacher, label-owner, and multi-
instrumentalist par excellence!
INTRODUCTION
ItÆs always an honour for us to re-
release cool & obscure records, but as
honours go they surely come no greater
than bringing you music from one of the
most brilliant and productive jazzmen
ever to have lived: French pianist,
composer and arranger extraordinaire Jef
Gilson.
With his career spanning the best part
of a century, Gilson has made music with
a whoÆs who of European and American
jazz greats, has written, performed on
and recorded innumerable film scores,
albums and 45s, ran the Palm jazz record
labelà yet despite all this the French
jazzman remains criminally under
appreciated by so many jazz fans. Look
him up on the internet û there isnÆt
even a Wikipedia entry! We address this
unfortunate situation by releasing 19
songs spanning decades of his recording
career in our latest album JMANCD/LP.042
simply entitled Jef Gilson.
THE MUSIC
High points include the awesome modal
masterpiece Modalite Pour Mimi; Chakan
and Agnus Dei which feature a cathedral
choir, and lesser-known private
recordings such as ValerieÆs Waltz and
Valse a Quatre Temps. We include field
recordings made on his trip to
Madagascar, including a percussive
version of the Lloyd Miller favourite
Chant Inca and an unforgettable version
of Pharoah SandersÆ cult classic æThe
Creator has a MasterplanÆ.
All in all this is one of the finest
albums we have made to date, and itÆs
something that we have taken great pride
and pleasure to be involved in. This
album is all about the little-known
musical genius, and we have done our
very best to represent his life story
with the best of his music.
-The finest recordings made during a
lifetime in jazz from an exceptional yet
neglected French genius
- Never-before-seen pictures, photos and
images on one CD/double gatefold LP
- Exhaustive and extensive original
liner notes in both English AND French
- 180g vinyl pressing with cool textured
art sleeve
- RARE and FINE music heard only on
Jazzman û all because WE DIG DEEPER!
