Ended the week and started the weekend with A Cordes et a Cris a 1979 LP by French double bassist Henri Texier.
Sounfohm wrote in a review of a reissue:
"...Recorded and released in 1979, it encounters the legendary bassist at the top of his game - evolving and pushing into the future with one eye on countless global traditions of the past. Like all of Texier’s solo efforts from this era, it is a stunning tapestry of musical hybridism, taking on equal influences from jazz, ambient and new age musics, minimalism, and the avant-garde, spliced with elements of Celtic, North African, Indian, and Middle Eastern musics. The result, emerging from deft hands, is unlike anything else.
Joined by a cast of contributing figures - the pianist Gordon Beck, Guitarist Aldo Romano, Cellist Jean Charles Capon, and Violinist Didier Lockwood.."
