Katchinas - Gérard Marais Sextet

A fine piece of french avant-garde jazz indeed, from the early 1990's. Featuring Gérard Marais (guitar), Jean-François Canape (trumpet), Jacques Mahieux (drums), Henri Texier (double bass), Michel Godard (tuba) and Yves Robert (trombone). You will defintively love it if you fancy Albert Mangelsdorff, fine swing and subtle compositions.
1990 / Thelonious {THE 0501} /

I don't quite get the way mediafire works, it does not appear to be blocked from my computers … ?
and last attempt… What about now ?

Ha! Got it. Worked this time. That live show I sent you from December is up now: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/40037000/marais-dec-22-2012.zip

And thank you so much, you're a saint for doing this. For some reason you can get everything else Marais has done, but not this one.

Thanks a lot ! I've added you site to my blogroll… Your Mimieux & Akbar Khan duo is a must — I knew both of them but would never imagine to hear them together on a recording! ;) Will definitiley listen to the Marais gig…
