Jean-Claude Gaupin, France


Jean-Claude Gaupin - Anatheme. 1984 private.

Here's another one from the archives. This was sent to me by Midwest Mike a few years ago. Now that we have more of a fusion base in our audience, I'll report on some of these to a larger audience.

Jean-Claude Gaupin's debut album is a fairly typical early 1980s era light, sunny and breezy funk fusion work. The great exception being the edgy guitar work from Xavier Piton, his one and only venture into recorded music (that I could find anyway). Other than that, it's the usual sax, Caribbean drums and warm / funky bass that push these harmless cruise ship style instrumental tunes along. Gaupin has at least two other albums, his last from 2006.

Priority: none
