Unbelievable work here by Vladimir Cosma & Michel Berholc on this early Patchwork Library record. Fuzz Guitar, Jazz Drums, and Brass all done in a dark spy chase vibe. There are also some very beautiful moments here like the breezy, " Avec Un Certain Sourire". Cosma's style has always reminded me heavily of Francois De Roubaix who happens to be one of my favorites so of course I like him a lot. This record needs to be heard in its entirety and it's probably the best thing I've heard from Cosma. So check the soundclips and enjoy from my personal collection ripped @320K.

Great post Chris, Cosma is a monster, he is mostly known for his comedy music and it's great to hear him doing more funky brassy stuff. I just downloaded a rip from the library forum and I was listening to this when I saw you posted a rip from your own collection. :)
ReplyDeleteI know Cosma is a monster I also have his CAM record L'Affaire Crazy Capo which also sounds like Francois De Roubaix. I didn't realize it got posted yesterday on the forum, super random.
ReplyDeletelooks like a very interesting record.
ReplyDeletethank you very much for sharing.
i believe this is the best patchwork ive ever heard
ReplyDeleteif theres a better one i'd like to know about it
thanx again Chris ! for the labels as well
This is my favorite patchwork as well, Cosma also did a couple others Patchwork 29 being one of them. Most of the ones I heard are pretty dope electronic records but not like this one. Maybe an expert on Patchwork can chime in.
DeleteGreat as always!! Thank you for all of this music here!! Greetings from Greece!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Chris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a great album.
My hero in composition is "Ted Scotto". Ironically, his compositions are presented on the second LP of this series."Patchwork Orchestra 2 ".
Have you got this album?
Thanks.
Sorry Maestro I don't have that one but it sounds real dope, maybe someone else will post you and me up a link
DeleteHi, just to tell you that most of the music in this LP is used in a french tv series of 1972 called 'Tang', a kind of FuManchu story set in the seventies with the russian actor Valery Inkijinoff!
