One
of our favorite record labels
of all time finally gets its due – in a wonderful package that not only brings together some
of the coolest cuts from the legendary French imprint Saravah Records, but also tells the story behind the company and it's groundbreaking approach to music! Saravah was born from the fame
of Francis Lai's soundtrack for A Man & A Woman (Un Homme Et Une Femme), and from the lyrical contributions
of Pierre Barouh – but immediately after, the company began pursuing a musical path like no other – taking on strands
of jazz, world music, and the hippest styles in France – and creating new music that was unlike anything that had ever been recorded! Some
of the best moments from the legendary label are here – including tracks that have the
Art Ensemble of Chicago working with singers – Marva Broome on "Mystifying Mama", Alfred Panou on "Je Suis Un Sauvage", and Brigitte Fontaine on "Comme A La Radio" – plus more titles that include "Monsieur Chimpanze" by Michel Roques, "Sicilienne" by Maurice Vander, "Delhi Daily" by Baroque Jazz Trio, "Le Bruit Et Le Bruit" by Beatrice Arnac, "EDF Power" by EDF, "Trane's Call" by Georges Arvanitas, "Saudade" by Pierre Barouh & Baden Powell, "Je Jouais Le Piano" by Jacques Higelin, "Desert Angel" by Cohelmec
Ensemble, and "80 AB" by Areski.
