ART ZOYD

Long before such terms as "post-classical," post-rock" or "post-jazz" entered music's lexicon, the French band Art Zoyd, founded in 1969, shattered genre walls while embracing classical, rock, electronic and jazz influences and instrumentation, laying the groundwork for post-genre music of the 21st Century. Leader/ composer Gérard Hourbette died in May 2018, shortly after Cuneiform Records released 44 1/2,a box set of the band's live and unreleased works.

In September 2020, the Art Zoyd band presents its final two concerts: a tribute to Hourbette. The program, directed by Jérôme Sudan and titled "Et avec Votre esprit | La forêt de Samplers", features Hourbette's music performed by Art Zoyd (Yukari Bertocchi Hamada, Nadia Ratsimandresy, Jerôme Soudan, Romuald Cabardos, Daniel Koskowitz) and dance by Azusa Takeuchi.

In mercenary news, we are down to our last few copies of the art zoyd box and if you want it, buy it NOW or forever regret it.

I'd say to anyone wavering about whether to get this, if you have the skinny you should go for it. If you like AZ then I can't see how you'd be disappointed. But even if you have your regrets, you'll most likely able to sell it and get your money back (and probably more, if you're so inclined) once it's OOP.

Valenciennes is an hour away from Brussels, but this Friday 4th, I will be North of Amsterdam (+/- 4.5 h drive)

I'm sadly not even allowed in those countries atm, not that I had a realistic chance to be there of course.

Shame to see such a great band end, but I suppose it was inevitable given the sad passing of Hourbette.

Hopefully they record it in some way.

I second that emotion. This one is great and I know I always regret not getting this type of thing. FWIW.
