France, 1976, spiritual jazz / chamber jazz / avant-garde jazz

Henri Texier – Amir: The lonely drone, the distant flute, and the harmonious non-lyrical vocals give me a sense of space, like a desert or a mountainside, and then the music takes a drastic turn, growing suddenly very close in its experimental playfulness, before expanding again, but this time having picked up the accoutrements for the rest of the journey.
