Mother Africa
Mother Africa by Byard Lancaster radiates with spiritual energy and improvisational daring, weaving together free jazz, blues, and soulful overtones. The album’s exploratory language and deep sense of groove reflect Lancaster’s boundary-pushing ethos, resulting in a vivid listening experience that braids together African themes, fluid ensemble interplay, and Lancaster’s distinctive melodic sensibility.
Us
Us by Byard Lancaster is a vibrant suite of improvisations driven by searching melodic motifs and propulsive rhythms. In a compact yet dynamic trio format, Lancaster’s alto saxophone and flute navigate territory mapped equally by jazz tradition and the pursuit of abstraction, making the album a crucial benchmark for fans of adventurous 1970s jazz.

Untitled
* Deluxe reissue, with obi strip + 4 page booklet, 180g vinyl* In November 1976, Jef Gilson’s phone rang. What a surprise!

Immediately, Jef wanted to organise a recording session, starting the next day. He thought of a trio including Serge, Eddy Louiss on organ and cellist Jean-Charles Capon, who ha…
Watch Devil Go
To write these few lines, we spoke to saxophonist François Jeanneau, an old friend of Jacques Thollot who also played on several of his albums, including the “Watch Devil Go” which interests us here. He told us a story which, according to him, sums up the personality of Thollot. A noted studio had reserved three days for a Thollot recording session. The first morning was devoted to sound checks and putting some order in the score sheets which Jacques would hand out in a somewhat anarchic manner…
