An iconic French free jazz record recorded at Pathé Marconi Studios. On June 27th, 1969, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichel Portal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e pushed the door of the Pathé Marconi studios. With him were drummers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacques Thollot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAldo Romano\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, bassist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-François Jenny-Clark\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and pianist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoachim Kühn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. They hadn't rehearsed anything, as if entering the studio to record an album without any plan was something normal. The musicians were obviously very used to playing with each other, as the five tracks on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eOur Meanings And Our Feelings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e seem to flow perfectly without any hint of improvisation. The zokra, an oriental clarinet that Michel Portal plays on \"Walking Through The Land\" and \"Dear Old Morocco\" brings a singular touch to this album. This singularity is transcended by Joachim Kühn's ability to easily go from the piano to the saxophone alto, from supporting to soloing, before playing the bells, then the tambourine, opening the soundscape. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eOur Meanings And Our Feelings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e may not be the first French free jazz record -- as it was preceded by the fantastic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFree Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrançois Tusques\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, released in 1965 and on which Michel Portal plays as well -- but it remains one of the most important. Its incredible outburst of sounds and melodies is completely free yet never turns into cacophony. 44 years after its release, it is still urgent to listen to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eOur Meanings And Our Feelings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and what these five talented musicians had to say.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Tres Jazz Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48686270415071,"sku":"27187746","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0312\/7630\/2471\/files\/LTJC014LP_PROD.jpg?v=1774630922","url":"https:\/\/www.feelitrecordshop.com\/products\/michel-portal-our-meanings-and-our-feelings-lp","provider":"Feel It Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
