We Release Jazz Switzerland Vinilo y CD

Review: In recent years we've been treated to a number of reissues of albums by Placebo, the Marc Moulin-helmed Belgian jazz-funk combo that was operative between 1971 and '76. This though is something genuinely unheard: a freshly rediscovered recording of the collective's first ever live performance, which took place at Casino Kursaal during the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Consisting of a sole, near 30-minute piece entitled 'Showbiz Suite', the performance features Moulin and his five collaborators trading dazzling solos over a warm, hazy and undeniably soulful jazz-funk groove that's as energetic and loose-limbed as they come.
