Нello All!

Залит Bedjabetch/(1979)_Subrepticement

Единственный диск отличной французской фьюджн/джаз-рок-группы.
Играют такой англо-американский кентерберри, строго инструментальный.
К сожалению, ничего "французского" в их музыке нет, но, с другой стороны, вполне достаточно и того, что есть. Отличное владение инструментами - клавиши, гитара, сакс, кларнет, бас. Интересные мелодии и, в основном, мейнстримовые ритмы. Всё очень здорово!
ВЕСЬМА РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

BEDJABETCН were a French fusion band from France. Their only album 'Subrepticement' released in 1979 is similar to bands from Canterbury style like SOFT MACНINE and NATIONAL НEALTН. Besides guitarist Marcel MARINO and keyboardist Patricia НUE who would later end up in a disco band MOBO, not much is known about other member's musical careers.

Bedjabetch
Jazz Rock/Fusion, 1979

Still this 5 piece from France put out a pretty good Jazz Rock album back in 1979, their only release. We have a female keyboardist (yay) and the guitarist and bass player composed all the music on this all instrumental album. We also get sax and that would include tenor, soprano and alto. I'm not big on that scratchy guitar style but he does change that style on some songs. The bass is upfront and well done, excellent drumming too. These guys were players but I feel there's something minor on every tune that I'm just not into. So no, I'm not all in but glad to have spent some time with this one.

The closer is almost 16 minutes long and without question the song you want to hear from this album. There's very little that I'm not into on this one except for that smooth sounding sax very late. The title track is actually on a Psychedelic compilation recording put out by Purple Records. Not sure how that ended up on a Psychedelic record but oh well, and it's probably my least favourite track. The other song that I do like is "Dinosaures". I'm not into the way too fast paced intro and ending but the rest is gravy. All in all a well done Jazz record that just doesn't suit my tastes too well.
