Back to Christian Escoude with Michel Graillier in Libra, FLAC limited time only

 

Michel Graillier was the pianist in the Ivan Jullien band, posted back here.  He is databased here, with bio:

French jazz pianist (born October 18, 1946 in Lens — died February 18, 2003 in Paris)

His career began with violinist Jean Luc Ponty in 1968. He was a member of various groups in France and worked regularly with Chet Baker until 1988. In the 1990s he worked in various ensembles with drummer Simon Goubert.

And he was in the following bands:

:	Alien (34), Chet Baker Quartet, Chet Baker Trio, Claude Cagnasso Big Band, Ivan Jullien Big Band, Jacques & Micheline Pelzer Quartet, Magma (6), Open Sky Unit, Tartempion, The Julie Monley Quartet, The Paris Quartet, Vandertop

On the other hand I've covered Escoude numerous times on these pages, he was with Confluence, but also in these albums here, here with Toots, here, still more, etc.

Here though the music, from 1978, is standard 'contemporary jazz' of the kind we've heard so much of.  Nonetheless, the lovely Skiso, which was written by Escoude, sounds very much like something from one of his albums:
