Placebo

• Limited edition 180g LP

Recorded at Casino Kursaal during the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1971, this recording features an extended 26-minute two-part version of the funky soulful jazz groover “Showbiz Suite.” Moulin holds it down on Fender Rhodes, backed by Nick Kletchkovsky on bass, Freddy Rottier on drums, Johnny Dover on bass clarinet, Alex Scorier on soprano saxophone, and Richard Rousselet on flugelhorn.

With Placebo’s other seventies releases being some of the most sought-after and influential jazz-funk albums, it’s great to finally see this pivotal and foundational live recording receive an official release. Don’t sleep, this one is going to go fast. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
