Laurent Petitgirard ~ France


Suite Epique. 1972 LAlberti

One of the more interesting instrumental rock albums from early 1970s France is Pop Instrumental de France (issued by Vadim), which was a pseudonym for Laurent Petitgirard. This album represents the follow-up. Perhaps a little less "Le Fun GoGo Pop" and a bit more towards serious jazz rock with classical overtones. For soundtrack fans, Petitgirard is a household name, and he's still scoring films and concertos all these many years later. This is a lovely set of instrumental tunes, perfect for that spring afternoon drive on a winding two lane trek through the mountains.
