ok Fuse let's see if you know this one [img]biggrin.gif[/img] :
-"Maghreb and friends"-drummer Karim Ziad.same first name as mine but god he's such a monster on the kit.
so if you like that neo-african fusion as you seem to,get this one if you don't have it already.
amazing stuff with lots of great french musicians.(michel alibo on bass!!)
let me know if you got it.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, Brice & Moktar are great players. But you're right, they're not well-known in the mainstream here...& if it weren't for JLP's relative success here back in the 80's, I probably wouldn't know who they are today [img]frown.gif[/img]Quote:

...& those 2 JLP releases that I listed above [in my 2nd-to-last post] are great groove discs [in the "neo-afro-fusion" style [img]wink.gif[/img] ]

fuse,
i'm actually trying to find that JLP with Brice on.went to two record shops today and couldn't find it.gonna try the megastore next.i 'll let you know when i get it .
Believe it or not I was in a band that played some Brice Wassy material. I had never heard of him, but his African grooves were highly original, very unusual (to my ears anyway!) and great fun to replicate.

Tu connais le Sud de la France ?
Bien cordialement,
PS : Fuse01, I know this album (Tchokola) from Jean-Luc Ponty and I confess I am not very fond of this style. Too bizarre, too tortuous.
In fact a music only for the connaisseurs.
Yes, eymelin, I must confess that i agree...i went back & listened to both aft a very long time...& some of the music itself can be very pondersome & tedious, & repetitious to the point of mundane - having very similar sounding motifs...it is simply your typically classically & "rock" influenced Ponty over some neo-Afro-fusion grooves [& a rare "splash" of latin on a tune or two], but the grooves are nevertheless interesting & well-done.
Peace. [img]cool.gif[/img]

Hey, dear fellows, it is like a "little France" [img]wink.gif[/img]
Allez, champagne pour tout le monde !!!!!!!!!
Fuse01,
I DO agree with you.
Technically speaking, this album is perfect but where is the emotion ?
You are right when you talk about the classical roots in France.
Besides this one, I would add contemporary music (as we say in France "musique d'avant-garde") which is quite influential in France and represented by musicians such as Pierre Boulez, Pierre Henry, Olivier Messiaen ou Pierre Schaeffer.
I am very fond of contemporary music and I think Jean-Luc Ponty has tried to make a kind of cross-over between the "musique d'avant-garde" and afro-fusion grooves.
But it is a very hard task.
For instance, Frank Zappa was fan of Pierre Boulez (especially his symphony called "Le Marteau sans Ma?tre") and he has worked with Pierre Boulez.
Imho, Jean-Luc Ponty is a great musician but he is not as talented as Zappa.
I am convinced Boulez-Zappa could have performed a very interesting material
