POST-SCRIPTUM 1040

PHILIPPE MATÉ / DANIEL VALLANCIEN, Daniel Vallancien / Philippe Maté, SouffleContinu Records

Certes discrète, la carrière du saxophoniste Philippe Maté n'en aligne pas moins les disques indispensables : que ce soit avec l'Acting Trio, Jean Guérin (Tacet) ou Jef Gilson (Workshop), sans compter ses collaborations en grand orchestre et en quartette avec Lawrence “Butch” Morris, ou sa présence dans le Quatuor de Saxophones et sur le génial L'Enfant assassin des mouches de Jean-Claude Vannier.

Quant à l'homme de l'ombre Daniel Vallancien, ingénieur du son peu habitué à être mis en avant sur les pochettes, la collection Actuel du label BYG lui doit énormément (il est aux manettes derrière Anthony Braxton, Don Cherry, Sonny Sharrock ou Steve Lacy), tout comme Saravah pour le compte duquel il a notamment enregistré Areski, Brigitte Fontaine, Maurice Lemaître ou Cohelmec Ensemble : excusez du peu ! Qui plus est, Daniel Vallancien appartient à cette prestigieuse lignée d'ingénieurs du son français aux oreilles ouvertes et souvent eux-mêmes musiciens, même si parfois uniquement de manière occasionnelle : citons Bruno Menny, Daniel Deshays ou Jean-Marc Foussat, qui tous ont eux aussi gravé sous leur nom des opus remarquables.

Sous-tendant cette collaboration, l'idée était d'accoucher d'une musique libre, directe et spontanée, bien qu'un minimum réfléchie. Une musique, selon les brèves notes de pochette, voulue “détachée des longues et patientes gestations de laboratoire”. Ici, donc : aucun outillage sophistiqué propre aux recherches électroacoustiques, mais principalement une console, qui dans les mains de Daniel Vallancien agit sur la matière sonore instrumentale originale en direct, et la modifie ou démultiplie tout en respectant son jaillissement naturel.

Qu'il s'agisse de Paul Méfano, Betsy Jolas, Gérard Grisey ou Jacques Lejeune, de nombreux compositeurs contemporains ayant oeuvré en France ont, à un moment ou un autre, intégré le saxophone à leur travail. Par exemple, Michel Redolfi, du GRIM puis du CIRM, a expérimenté avec le saxophoniste André Jaume le temps d'un disque convaincant (Hardscore). Pourtant, rien ne peut être comparé à la singularité du dialogue entre Philippe Maté et Daniel Vallacien, décrit par eux-mêmes comme tour à tour “sérieux, sarcastique ou humoristique”, avec çà et là des “sonorités angoissantes”. Sauf que les mots, y compris ceux choisis par les protagonistes de cet album, ne sauraient suffire à décrire pareil objet sonore, aussi difficilement identifiable, et, pour tout dire : sidérant.

Although discrete, the career of saxophonist Philippe Maté includes nonetheless several indispensable albums: be it with the Acting Trio, Jean Guérin (Tacet) or Jef Gilson (Workshop), his collaborations in a big band or quartet with Lawrence “Butch” Morris, his presence in the Saxophone Quartetand also on the brilliant L'Enfant assassin des mouches by Jean-Claude Vannier.

As for the man in the background, Daniel Vallancien, a sound engineer rarely featuring on the sleeves, the collection Actuel on the BYG label owes much to him (he is at the controls behind Anthony Braxton, Don Cherry, Sonny Sharrock or Steve Lacy), the same goes for Saravah for who he notably recorded Areski, Brigitte Fontaine, Maurice Lemaître or the Cohelmec Ensemble: not bad for starters! What is more, Daniel Vallancien is one of a prestigious group of French recording engineers with open ears and often themselves musicians, even if only occasionally for some, including Bruno Menny, Daniel Deshays or Jean-Marc Foussat, who have all recorded remarkable albums as leaders.

Behind this collaboration was the idea ofcreating music which was free, direct and spontaneous, while having also a minimum of advance planning. Music, according to the brief liner notes desirous to “remove itself from long and patient laboratory experiments ”. So, there can be found here none of the sophisticated tools associated withelectroacoustic research, but mainly a recording mixer console, which, in the hands of Daniel Vallancien acts directly on the original instrumental sound in real time, modifying and multiplying it while respecting the natural flow.

Be it Paul Méfano, Betsy Jolas, Gérard Grisey or Jacques Lejeune, many contemporary composers working in France have, at one time or another, includedthe saxophone in their work. Michel Redolfi, for example, with the GRIM and then the CIRM , experimented with saxophonist André Jaume on a convincing recording (Hardscore). Nothing, however, can compare to the singularity of the dialogue between Philippe Maté and Daniel Vallancien, which they themselves describe as being “serious, sarcastic orhumorous”, with, here and there, “disturbing sounds”. Words, however, even those used by the protagonists themselves, are insufficient to describe such a sonic object, difficult to identify and, it has to be said, extraordinary.

1968 Roy Ayers’ release Stone Soul Picnic is a perfect listen for a Saturday. Thanks for the great write up by @the_record_room. (Repost) @the_record_room ・・・ Roy Ayers’ Atlantics are truly a thing of wonder. Here he’s got the very best band it was possible to assemble: Charles Tolliver, Gary Bartz, Hubert Laws, Herbie and Ron…just incredible and track one is probably the best of it. ‘A rose for Cindy’ starts free-ish, drifts in and out of tempo and gives everyone a chance to solo, I’ve played it about 5 times today and I can’t get enough of it. Grady Tate is perhaps the biggest surprise here as this isn’t the sort of music I’d associate him with but he’s all over this like he’s Joe Chambers. I spy Sonny Sharrock on the cover, imagine if he’s turned up too. While I love funky Roy I wish he’d made a few more albums like this. #royayers #charlestolliver #garybartz #hubertlaws #herbiehancock #roncarter #miroslavvitous #gradytate #herbiemann #sonnysharrock #atlanticrecords #jazzvinyl #jazzrecords #jazzcollection #jazzcollector #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #albumcover #leefriedlander #jazzvibraphone #igvinylclub #igvinylcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CZDJ4XmPsVl/?utm_medium=tumblr

・ ・ 『サマー・オブ・ソウル（あるいは、革命がテレビ放映されなかった時）』観た。 ・ 今まで全く語られるコトがなかった1969年の出来事。内容はタイトル通りだよ。 決して泣かそうとしている作品ではないが、マヘリア・ジャクソンが出てきた辺りから感極まってきて、スライのパフォーマンスに人類の本来のカタチを観て、ニーナ・シモンで完全に涙腺が崩壊した。 アーティストはホント！時代の代弁者であるべきなんだよなあ。 なんかいろいろ書きたいコトあるけど我慢しよ。とりあえず、月と五輪がカブってしょうがなく、また、都知事は1969年当時のNY市長みたいに振る舞えるかなあ。なんて思いながら観ていたなあ。 ・ そういえば、元テンプテーションズのデヴィッド・ラフィンがソロで歌う「マイ・ガール」はモノすごくアガった！ ・ #サマーオブソウル #あるいは革命がテレビ放映されなかった時 #SummerofSoul #OrWhentheRevolutionCouldNotBeTelevised #クエストラブ #Questlove ・ #StevieWonder #BBKing #TheFifthDimension #TheStapleSingers #MahaliaJackson #HerbieMann #DavidRuffin #GladysKnightandthePips #SlyandtheFamilyStone #MongoSantamaría #SonnySharrock #AbbeyLincoln #MaxRoach #HughMasekela #NinaSimone ・ #映画 #movie #ビバムビ #instagood #instapic ・ #staysafe #socialdistancing #withコロナ #newnormal (TOHO シネマズ 日比谷) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTPaJH6FUT6/?utm_medium=tumblr

I won't mourn about the legends we lost and rather celebrate those who are still living. Pharoah Sanders recorded his second album on November 15th, 1966 at the Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Released in early 1967 it remains until today as a spiritual jazz masterpiece and helped Sanders to move out of the shadow of his mighty mentor, John Coltrane. It also marks the recording debut of the young guitarist Sonny Sharrock who later moved on to work with Herbie Mann. Sanders is still playing today at the age of 76. And he's another example that real Muslims preach peace! Hope he will live in peace for many more years. #vinyl #recordcollection #vinyljunkie #recordcollector #jazz #pharoahsanders #sonnysharrock #impulserecords #rudyvangelder #1967
