anyone have archie shepp & the full moon ensemble on actuel?

what is the deal with the liner notes written by delfeil de ton?

i imagine it is a joke? like shepp wrote them and is pretending they are translated from french and were written by an ignorant and arrogant french writer?

i don't know what delfeil means. perhaps bullshit or something?

this isn't a real person, right?

though it would seem weird shepp insulting the french as the country seemed to embrace he and the movement he was a part of pretty well.

i wasn't there. i don't know.

but these liner notes are weird.

Delfeil de Ton is a real person and a very serious and intelligent commentator/writer with his own sense of humor. The liner notes he wrote for the Shepp/Full Moon Ensemble should not be taken at face value.

Delfeil de Ton has a column in the prestigious Le Nouvel Observateur weekly magazine. He delves into jazz pretty often. He was among the very active supporters of Shepp, Ayler, Sun Ra and other new players when these musicians came to France several decades ago.
