Le Tres Jazz Club

Le Tres Jazz Club is a jazz reissue label that was founded in 2017 by Fuzati from Klub des loosers and Elvin Pagiras from Modulor. With a passion for preserving and sharing the rich history of jazz, this label has become a go-to destination for music enthusiasts seeking rare and timeless recordings.

Specializing in *jazz* reissues, Le Tres Jazz Club carefully selects and curates a collection of albums that showcase the diversity and brilliance of the genre. From classic recordings by legends such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Billie Holiday to lesser-known gems waiting to be discovered, their catalog offers something for every jazz lover.

With an emphasis on quality, each release from Le Tres Jazz Club is meticulously remastered to ensure optimal sound reproduction. The label's dedication to maintaining the integrity of these historical recordings allows listeners to experience the music as it was meant to be heard – vibrant, immersive, and full of soul.

Originally released on Privilege, a sub-label of Polydor, this soundtrack by free jazz saxophonist Marion Brown is almost impossible to find in its original pressing. Now more than fifty years later it is finally reissued, to the delight of free jazz enthusiasts and film music collectors.

By 1967, Brown, then aged 36, already had a very successful career in the United States, appearing on John Coltrane's Ascension, Archie Shepp's Fire Music, performing with Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders and recorded several records under his name for renowned avant-gade jazz label ESP Disk.

That year, he however decided to move to Europe where he met with German saxophonist and vibraphonist Gunter Hamphel. Accompanied by Steve McCall (drums and percussions), Barre Phillips (double bass), Alain Corneau (Cow bells) and Ambrose Jackson (trumpet), they recorded in 1969 in the legendary Parisian studio Davout, the soundtrack of the movie by Marcel Camus entitled Le Temps Fou. This film, which starred Nino Ferrer, was released in 1970 under the title "Un été sauvage" and unfortunately it did not make history of cinema. Fallen into oblivion, only his two original soundtracks (there is also a 7'' with titles composed by Richard de Bordeaux and Daniel Beretta) are spreading the word.
