Edition Spéciale – Aliquante

Easily in the top 5 jazz rock records of all time. This group of musicians had a beautiful thing going, and once they got warmed up into the end of their self titled LP, they had a vision. Technically unmatched, melodically genius, and rhythms from beyond to keep your head spinning.

Unknown band for most of Jazz-Rock and Prog Rock lovers. This French group released three beautiful albums in the late 70s, from which ambitious "Aliquante" is an outstanding masterpiece.
The album demonstrates an unique combination between fast, clear and intelligence virtuoso ages and deep, melodious highly talented compositions created by the leading tandem Marius Lorenzini–Ann Ballester. The result: one of the best French groups ever along with Carpe Diem, Magma, Gong and some others. The music contains nearly 70% Jazz-Rock, 20% Art-Rock, 5+5% Funk and Pop with Ann's vocal parts.
I have to mention powerful drummer Alain Gouillard, who should be ranked as good as Bill Bruford, Ginger Baker and Pierre Moerlen. Marius Lorenzini is the most famous fusion guitar player in , who plays solos equally good both on acoustic and electric guitars. Mademoiselle Ann Ballester is the only female in this band also with a jazzy education, and she is still active. So, how do you think: may these super musicians do something bad?
In summary, we have one of the leaders of the European and worldwide Jazz-Rock scene along with Return To Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Brand X, Weather Report, etc.

P.S. In that way, I would also recommend Marius Lorenzini's solo albums like "Orchestra II" or "Orchestra V".
