Category: Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra

Parisian-based Souffle Continu Records continue their gracious excavation of the catalog of the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra, the “people’s jazz workshop” created by French jazz pianist François Tusques. Following last year’s reissues of 1978’s L’Inter Communal and 1983’s Le Musichien, come releases of two more equally spirited documents from the same period – 1979’s Après La Marée Noire – Vers Une Musique Bretonne Nouvelle (After the Oil Spill – Towards a New Breton) and 1982’s Jo Maka.

French jazz pianist François Tusques formed the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra in 1971 in search of something new. With 1983’s Le Musichien, he’s created a spiritual jazz document that emits an urgent sense of peace.
