Les Gottamou: Nino Ferrer / Bernard Estardy / Richard Hertel

 
description

Formed in 1966 by the two independents of French pop, Bernard "Le Baron" Estardy and Nino Ferrer, along with drummer Richard Hertel, the Les Gottamou trio can be considered a French super-group, encapsulating the full genius of the 2 men.
To minimal bass / drums / organ instrumentation, the two partners and their metronomic drummer have a blast throwing themselves head on into 3 epic jerks (the fabulous Jimmy McGriff cover All About My Girl and the irresistible Gribouille, written by Bernard Estardy) plus a broken blues track offering some respite in the midst of this sheer explosion of pure energy.
Four proud and magnificent instruments swimming in superb soul, funk and jazz colours, at the heart of which Ferrer's bass drives relentlessly while Estardy's organ weaves a tapestry of notes where the most beautiful mod fantasies dwell and lose themselves.
This is a show of faultless perfection from the trio, offering us a true love declaration with groove and black music at its heart.

An essential EP which offers a glimpse at the vitality and originality of the French rhythm 'n' blues scene at the end of the 60s.
To rediscover without delay!
