Claude Vasori : Ozone, Turbine, Invisibility, Splash
From : Ionic Scrabble [PSI, 1974]
Claude Vasori was an arranger and jazz musician working in France during the sixties and seventies, his output was prolific during this period and its not that uncommon to find his name somewhere on the back of many French pop records from this era. Most of his library work was released on the MPI label , along with other well respected session musicians such as Robert Viger, Vincent Geminiani and Georges Arvanitas.
Ionic scrabble, like its cover has a very modern and minimalist style, yet at the same time, is also full of colour and energy. Ozone, Turbine and Invisibility all exemplify jazz’s heavy influence on the music Vasori was making, the crisp uptempo drums, vibes and piano are great listening material during these winter months. The last track Splash shows off Vasori’s experimental side, its one of the those tracks that just makes you think, what the fuck? A typical effect of many a good library tune, play this one LOUD it deserves it.
