We Release Jazz announces the release of a very limited-edition double LP for Boillat Thérace Quintet’s 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival performance, with three bonus studio tracks! This gem from the Geneva, Switzerland band follows the acclaimed WRJ reissue of their 1974 self-titled album and 1975’s My Greatest Love, their full-length with Benny Bailey. The 300-copies-only white sleeved 2LP comes with the classic obi and features fully remastered audiophile-ready recordings. Captured live at Montreux Jazz Festival, July 3rd 1974, this rare audio treat features Boillat Thérace Quintet fan-favorites including their infamous homages to Swiss Marmite (“Cenovis”), and Geneva’s public transport line Tram 12 (“1224”), as well as remarkable renditions of timeless jazz numbers by Freddie Hubbard (“Straight Life” and “Backlash”) and Chick Corea (“Spain”). Additionally, the double LP offers three bonus songs taken from the ensemble’s sessions for their self-titled debut: superb takes on Herbie Hancock’s “Dolphin Dance,” Wayne Shorter’s “Adam’s Apple,” and Claude Engel’s “5th of July, Dulong Street.” All in all, it’s a beautiful soul-jazz/modal fest full of flair and heart, one that perfectly encapsulates the vibrant and inventive Swiss jazz scene of the 1970s. A must have for fans and collectors.
