SONS OPTIQUES

This is a reissue of a 1979 French instrumental progressive jazz album, with two extra 'songs' that were recorded in 2001. It also has some classical leanings and to be honest is an album of background music, certainly nothing more and perhaps something less. François was a keyboard player who had been on the scene in France since the early Seventies but this was his debut solo album. It is mostly piano/keyboards but there are also plenty of others involved including violin and sax. I am sure that some people will enjoy this but it is not something that I can imagine myself returning to again.
