B Praxis Suite 22:40

A hidden gem of the 1980s Italian underground, Cenerentola is a masterclass in avant-garde expression. Released on the cult label Letichetta, this LP captures Praxis at the peak of their improvisational powers.

Moving far beyond the boundaries of traditional jazz, the album unfolds across two sprawling tracks of pure sonic exploration. Featuring the brilliant Pino Minafra, the performance is a tightrope walk between tension and release, blending frantic free-jazz energy with moments of haunting abstraction.

For fans of European free improv and radical Italian jazz, this is more than just a record—it’s a rare document of a scene that dared to break every rule. A must-have for serious crate-diggers and lovers of the unconventional.

10 December 1974. 200 conscripts exit the casern of Draguignan in order to demonstrate in the streets of the city. They make part of those clandestine soldier committees multiplying themselves all over France with a view to unite the young activists of the extreme left with the anti-militarists. This dispute is a backwash of the student manifestations in spring 1973 against the Debré law reforming the military service.

The "Collectif du Temps des Cerises" founded by François Tusques, one of the pioneers of the French free jazz, decides to support the insubordinates. Denis Levaillant, 22 years old at the time, becomes the driving force of this discographical project. It’s with another big name in jazz, Jef Gilson in his studio Palm, the group records the compositions of Levaillant, appearing under the pseudonym Serge Igor, as well as cover versions of traditional Spanish music, among others the mythic "El paso del Ebro".

The young French jazz avantgarde scene of the early 70s participates in that session which brings together musicians like Jean-Jacques Avenel, Pierre Rigaud, Jean Méreu, Antoine Cuvelier, Gérard Tamestit, Guy Oulchen, Christian Ville, Robert Lucien, Carlos Andréou et Kirjuhel. The graphic designer collective Atarpop 73 creates the sleeve of the album which was released in an edition of 3000 copies and sold during the student manifestations.

This radical report of a rebellious youth raising from the still glowing ashes of May 1968 brings to our ears a jazz as spiritual as revolutionary. Attention, disc is burning! Staubgold
