Michel Roques may be a "musicians' musician" — celebrated by peers yet often overlooked in the wider jazz conversation — but Chorus stands as a compelling testament to his artistry. Originally released in 1972 on the Saravah label and now reissued by SouffleContinu Records, this French jazz gem blends spiritual intensity with hard bop energy, showcasing Roques' remarkable talents as both saxophonist and flutist.
Subtitled "On Fait Chorus Pour Marquer Sa Complete Approbation," the album moves fluidly across moods and textures, from protest-tinged lyricism to fiery hard bop, with standout moments like the superb track "Jazz" earning high praise from those who have discovered it. This 2019 reissue from SouffleContinu Records presents the album in a gatefold sleeve with an obi strip and full lyrics printed inside, making it a worthy addition to any serious jazz collection.
