about

This was of course not the first time that François Tusques was a ‘headline act’. In 1965, he recorded, with other likeminded Frenchmen (François Jeanneau, Michel Portal, Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin and Charles Saudrais), the first album of
free jazz in France, named… Free Jazz. In 1967, Tusques again served up Le Nouveau Jazz, in the company of Barney Wilen
(and Beb Guérin, Jean-François Jenny-Clark, and Aldo Romano).
Three years later, between May and September 1970, the pianist recorded, at his home, Piano Dazibao, an album on which
he multiplied joyful escapades as a critical iconoclast. The following year Tusques recorded Dazibao N°2, which shows him
as an incisive commentator of his times
Following in the footsteps of Don Cherry, who he had met a few years earlier in Paris, Tusques made a plea for “friendship
between all the peoples of the world” to the sound of Universalist hymns which transported us from Africa to Asia. But it is
really a song to America, evoking the assassination of the activist George Jackson and the mutiny in Attica prison, before
covering “Seize the Time” by Elaine Brown – three years after the release of Dazibao N°2, she became the first (and only)
woman to lead the Black Panther Party.
The turmoil of Piano Dazibao, was opposed, on Dazibao N°2, by long, labyrinthine tracks with alternating discords and
repetitions. Often using prepared piano, Tusques was more percussive (even heady) than ever, exposing a melody with
solid hammer strikes or painting an image which radiated peace in spite of the storms. Piano Dazibao and Dazibao N°2 thus
form the two sides of one coin, which displays the effigy of François Tusques, an international national monument!
