Live Again
CD (Item 39215) Futura (France), 1973 — Condition: New Copy
2CDs worth of wonderful work by this excellent French pianist! Arvanitas was at the height of his powers during the early 70s – stepping from a strong tradition of French keyboard work that mixed bop fire, jagged modernism, and an unabashed love of a good groove – and this set features him working in very relaxed company with his amazing trio of Jacky Samson on bass and Charles Saudrais on drums – the same rhythm team on the Marco DiMarco albums from the 70s. Samson's got this incredibly warm, round tone that ranks him as one of our favorite bassists ever – and Saudrais has a light, nimble, dancing touch on the drum kit that puts him in the mode of some of the best European modalists of the late 60s, particularly those working for the Saba/MPS label. The tracks are all quite long, and Arvanitas plays electric piano on more than a few cuts. Titles include "Electric", "Sing Sing", "Indian", "Con Alma", and "In Your Own Sweet Way". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
