01-GW 3128
Excellent quality, previously unreleased live recording of Yochk'o (saxes) and Faton (Yamaha CP 80 piano - the piano that gave "Phase IV" and many others its distinctive sound). Great stuff. Some of it short and concise and other parts more exploratory.
"The disappearance of legendary ZAO after "Typareth" (1977) had left a big gap among numerous fans of keyboardist François "FATON" CAHEN and his fellow saxophonist-flutist Yochk'o SEFFER. From now on turned to diverse solo projects, the two became quickly accomplices, something never denied since the beginning of the Seventies, a partnership born in Magma in the "1000 Degrés Centigrades" period. Three years later, Ethnic Duo reassure everybody proposing the continuation of their musical adventures. ETHNIC DUO had only recorded one opus during their activity period, so the release of a live album is quite great news ! "En Public Au Chêne Noir D'Avignon, 1980" shows the duet performing a high flying set for more than one hour, through the interwoven piano and saxophone parts. It should also be noted that none of the nine compositions featured here are present on their studio album, which makes this material quite useful. This record can be seen as a trace in time, but it is a very good musical show anyway!"
