We Release Jazz

More Swiss jazz bliss. We Release Jazz unleash another reissue from Geneva’s very own Boillat Thérace Quintet. The My Greatest Love album features none other than bebop and hard-bop legend Benny Bailey and is available for the first time since 1975 on vinyl LP as well as digipack CD.

For fans of jazz, soul jazz, modal, hard bop, funk, saxophones, flutes, trumpets, Montreux Jazz Festival,Kenny Dorham, Freddie Hubbard, Stuff Combe, Jimmy Heath, Ryo Fukui, delicious Cenovis, Lake Geneva, and the Swiss kind of bliss.

Galvanized by the creation of the Montreux Jazz Festival in the late 60s and lively local scenes, jazz music was healthy and booming in Switzerland in the 1970s. One band that beautifully captured this energy was Jean-François Boillat and Raymond Thérace’s Boillat Thérace Quintet whose self-titled debut and impressive Montreux appearance set the tone for quality Helvetic jazz in 1974.

Following this first excellent impression, the Boillat-Thérace ensemble connected with American trumpeter Benny Bailey and recorded the magnificent My Greatest Love in May and June of 1975. The modal, hard bop and soul-jazz gem includes first-class takes on Freddie Hubbard’s Gibraltar, Kenny Dorham’s Blue Bossa, and Jimmy Heath’s Gemini, plus deliciously funky originals from the Geneva crew, including the upbeat Le Colin and the swaying fan-favourite Prompt and its thrilling solos. Bailey is on trumpet and flugelhorn, Boillat on Fender Rhodes and piano, Thérace on saxophone and flute, Roger Vaucher on Fender bass, Eric Wespi on drums, and Rogelio Garcia on percussion and tenor saxophone...heavy sessions and deep vibes!
