Brigitte Fontaine - Comme à la Radio
I-Tunes, France, 1971
Saravah
One of those great mood shifters, where France meets American avant-jazz that equals a French sensibility. Magnificent percussion with the low sounds of a stand-up bass is a very seductive sound. Middle-eastern sounds creep into the framework, and Brigitte Fontaine is simply part of the landscape. I often think of her as the French Grace Jones, due to her going into unknown territory with no fear. The music is wonderful and The Art Ensemble of Chicago offers layers of sounds that suits Fontaine’s voice perfectly. Torch singing for the adventuress and those who lurk in the 3 AM night.
