Didier Malherbe in 1990's Fetish CD [plus 1979 Bloom, 1981 Melodic Destiny, 1986 Faton Bloom, 1989 Saxo Folies]

 









I thought for sure I posted him before, but only in connection with Faton Cahen, here, and Patrice Meyer. Of course he's most known for the work he did with Gong.

From the requested album Fetish, released 1990, the last 2 songs feature synth player Rykiel, discogged here.  These are really lovely, consider Hors D'oeuvres:



I'm assuming everyone is already familiar with the great Bloom album and Faton Bloom, which is a kind of follow up from 1986 with Cahen.  From that one, the lovely but oddly named Vulvox:



From the cassette only release with guitarist Yan Emeric, A Breughel really blew me away in its compositional glory, I am not sure which of his paintings the progressive complexity could be alluding to:



Otherwise this release is a bit of mixed bag.

Back to the Japanese stuff straightaway after.

    Thank you for the Didier Malherbe records. A real great sax player. Julian, you're the best ! And there is a link with the previous post of KBB, beause The violin player of KBB has played with Zao (Faton Cahen of Faton Bloom) during their tour in Japan. There is a Zao's Live record in Japan where he played (very good violin player indeed).
