Jean-Charles Capon
Jean-Charles Capon (1936-2011) was a French cellist, born in Vichy, who brought his instrument into jazz and free improvisation. He is best known for the Baroque Jazz Trio, which joined harpsichord, cello and percussion in a mix of Baroque music, free jazz and music from other cultures. Capon recorded with Jef Gilson and played on Saravah sessions with Brigitte Fontaine and Areski alongside label founder Pierre Barouh. Barouh offered him his first album under his own name, L'Univers-Solitude, a duo with Swiss percussionist Pierre Favre, reissued by Souffle Continu in 2019.
