synopsis: The first stunning issue of a brand-new miniseries from Giant Generator showcasing the first comics work by screenwriter and incredible talent PETER WARREN (_The Incal _feature film, Kill Me) with jaw-dropping art by FRANCESCO MOBILI (X-Men, SCUMBAG) and beautifully colored by CHRIS CHUCKRY (New X-Men, Gen 13).

But when Johnny is found murdered and his suit stolen, his estranged childhood best friends reunite to solve the mystery of his murder.

Introduction: In the vast landscape of jazz, few albums capture the sheer intensity and intellectual depth of the genre as profoundly as Mal Waldron’s “The Whirling Dervish.” Released in 1972 under the French America label, this album stands as a testament to Waldron’s daring creativity and his ability to transcend conventional boundaries in jazz. With only three tracks, the album may appear…

When it arrived here it was obvious that in the interim it had undergone further changes and refinement.

POST-POST-SCRIPTUM 1175

PERCEPTION, Live At The Stadium

Sept ans d'activité effervescente : peu d'ensembles de free jazz peuvent s'enorgueillir d'une telle longévité, surtout avec un personnel aussi stable que celui de Perception. Certes la formation invita quelques musiciens, dont Kent Carter et Jean-Charles Capon, le temps du deuxième opus… Certes la "difficulté d'être" de Siegfried Kessler généra un remplacement temporaire par Manuel Villaroel… Mais pour l'essentiel, c'est le noyau dur à quatre du premier album qui arpenta l'Europe, au gré des concerts, de la Belgique à l'Allemagne et passant par la Norvège, où Perception représenta la France au festival de Molde.

Peu de changements de personnel donc, si ce n'est à la fin, en 1975, une fois le troisième disque finalisé, après le départ du batteur Jean-My Truong qu'il fallut bien remplacer. D'abord par Mino Cinelu, alors dans Opération Rhino et Moravagine, puis par Jacques Thollot, déjà auteur des cultes Jeter la girafe à la mer et Watch Devil Go. Des changements qui n'entamèrent pas l'esprit de Perception, tant l'un comme l'autre surent s'intégrer à un ensemble à l'identité pourtant très forte.

Du passage de Jacques Thollot, aucun disque jusqu'à Live At The Stadium témoignait. Aussi cet enregistrement en public datant de 1977 constitue-t-il une archive précieuse, reflet de recherches toujours aussi singulières et contrastées bien qu'entreprises depuis 1970, dans le sillon du séminal Our Meanings And Our Feelings de Michel Portal. Archive accréditant ce qu'on savait déjà, à savoir que rares furent alors, en Europe, les quartettes à culminer à un tel niveau, en dehors de celui que formaient quasi au même moment, de manière occasionnelle toutefois, Gerd Dudek, Joachim Kühn, Peter Warren et Daniel Humair.

Seven years of effervescent activity: few free jazz groups can be proud of such longevity, especially with a line-up as stable as that of Perception. Yes, there would be several guest musicians, including Kent Carter and Jean-Charles Capon, on the second album… Yes the "existential problems" of Siegfried Kessler would necessitate him being temporarily replaced by Manuel Villaroel… But for the most part, it was the core quartet of the first album which would tour Europe, through concerts from Belgium to Germany and including Norway where Perception represented France at the Molde festival.

So, few personnel changes then, until towards the end, in 1975, after completing the third album, when drummer Jean-My Truong left and had to be replaced. First by Mino Cinelu, at the time in Opération Rhino and Moravagine, then by Jacques Thollot, already behind the cult albums Jeter la girafe à la mer and Watch Devil Go. These changes did not alter the spirit of Perception, as both were able to integrate a group which nevertheless had such a strong identity.
