Magic Band Of Gypsys

« Il en va de la musique de Magic Band of Gypsys comme des bonnes friandises : elle se savoure en silence. » Jacques Thollot, grand amateur de confitures de roses. « If a fellow doesn’t know how to play an instrument, he can’t make a phrase, but he can make a sound that might be more interesting than a whole phrase by a musician. » Steve Lacy to Raymond Gervais and Yves Bouliane in Parachute, 1976. Los Angeles Music Free Society, People Band, Zweinstein, Selten Gehörte Musik, Albrecht D., Nihilist Spasm Band, Taj Mahal Travellers, Caroliner Rainbow, Jean Dubuffet & Asger Jorn, Emil Beaulieau, Nu Creative Methods, Phren and My Cat Is An Alien were influences… “As you know I’m not used to recommend records, but this new 10" lathe cut is a must-have. It’s the only recording by MAGIC BAND OF GYPSYS (Joëlle Vinciarelli, Henri Roger and Philippe Robert), coming from a extravaganza-night in Côte d'Azur back in 2004. Despite its originality, all influences/ references mentioned are fully apt… I’d just add two magnum opus from the 20th Century: “Strange Strings” and “Vexations” . Needless to say, the 24 copies of the lathe went sold out in 1 minute, but more and more I do believe very few people deserve real art these days. Btw, Digital is cheaper than ever, dudes!” - Roberto Opalio/ My Cat Is An Alien "Le serpent fait ce qu’il veut. Pourvu qu’il siffle bien." Guillaume Belhomme, le son du grisli "Coming from an extravaganza-night on Côte d'Azur in 2004, one of a few magnum-opus in the spirit of "Strange Strings" by Sun Ra!" My Cat Is An Alien
