Philly Joe Jones Avec Jef Gilson Et Son Ensemble
Going through PJJ’s discography is something FF is supposed to be doing. This one is available track by track thanks to a kindhearted youtuber.
It’s PJJ with these French dudes in a session in Paris ‘69. They’re trying to go cool and modal and even have a cellist soloing, which is the most engaging part of the record, but PJJ just keeps playing bop like he doesn’t give two ****s what they’re up to. At the time, it was probably pretty off putting to the typical jazz fan but in our post-modern minds it works pretty ****ing well.
