Just found this on YouTube...I had no idea any video of this band existed. I reviewed their one and only album here. I wish the quality of the clip was better but it's still pretty cool to see these guys in action. Gotta love Bernard Paganotti's jumpsuit! ;-)

ReplyDeleteI've heard of Magma but not this group. I'm listening to them on Youtube right now. There are quite a few postings there now on one site. There are also (evidently) some Bernard Paganotti pieces there as well. There are aspects of this music I like and some other things I'm not so crazy about. Some of it is just plain almost inaccessible to the casual listener. I think to truly appreciate this band requires a serious familiarity with abstract jazz forms which, in all honesty, most people aren't all that familiar with it. I think I have a problem with the repetitive musical structures in the music as it seems more rhythm based rather than melodically based to me. Anyway, this gets a thumb sideways from me just because I can't quite make my mind up about it; but then, I'm an old rocker besides growing up in a household of classical music as well as traditional (Dixieland) jazz.
ReplyDeleteHey Marc! I'm a little late checking in on my blogs so I'm just now seeing your comment from 4 months ago. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to get into Magma at all, personally, but somehow Weidorje is a different matter for me. I really enjoy the compositions...they build nicely and a lot of it sounds much more accessible to me than any Magma I've ever heard. I enjoy Paganotti's bass playing a lot too. He has a really interesting and recognizable concept, which you can hear in his playing as well as in his compositions.
You're right about it being repetitive and rhythmically oriented of course...and as you know I'm a free jazz fan, so maybe that's why this sounds "accessible" to me. :)
Nice video collection & good posting.
