Caribbean-born French pianist Michel Sardaby released this in 1974 - there's three or four dreamy rhodes tracks and a few piano trio numbers. I particularly like Richard Davis' bass playing on this. "Welcome New Warmth" has been on a few compilations before.
Sardaby was born in Fort de France, Martinique in the French West Indies in 1935. Surrounded constantly by music in his dad's brasserie, he bacame a child prodigy on the piano. he went on to study art at the Boulle School in Paris before deciding to concentrate on a career as a jazz pianist. Throughout the 60s, he played piano with blues musicians like Sonny Boy Williamson and T-Bone Walker, at the same time beginning to release more jazz-focused solo albums.
I have no idea who "Gail" was/is, but i'm sure she can't have been too happy when he released an album called "Karen" in 2003 ...

btw this is a vinyl rip that I found on a file-sharing program many years ago - it's 128k, but surprisingly good quality for that, pretty good on the frequency range.
awesome! looking forward to hearing this one. cheers.
As promise...
Thanks a lot Simon666 !
Maro
must have read my mind have just been searching for sardaby
thanks
Thanks for this.
I had high expectations after hearing "Welcome New Warmth" (which you can find at better quality in the rips of the compilation Bilongo). In fact it is a run of the mill straight piano jazz album. Good job I didn't pay for this ;-)
Right on, man. I'm not familiar with him.
Looking forward to it.
Another dope album. Thank you for this
.. and thanks for the comments guys
Welcome new warmth is a gr8 track, i have the orig album i cud rip if anyone needs a higher res copy of it.
thanx for the upload simon
Thanks Ambrose, it'd be great if you could upload a better rip and post it here :)
This album is a true gem. Thanks for sharing it with us. Besides "Welcome new warmth" I also very much liked "Gail" and "Help me belong here".
As much as I appreciated this album, in this genre "MARCO DI MARCO TRIO AT THE LIVING ROOM" is even better. See: http://orgyinrhythm.blogspot.com/2008/06/marco-di-marco-trio-at-living-room.html
Greetings,

Thanks. I've only got one Sardaby track on a Soul Jazz Records compilation, so it's great to discover more of his material.
Mr.Gone

Dear all,
You can buy almost all Sardaby's for less than 20 euros each
Please BUY his LPz. It's beautiful music; sometimes less fusion, sometimes not my taste. But this artist is alive and need our recognition
GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY - Don't STEAL The MAn! This is not fair.
Plus there is this compilation by his daughter called "The Art of Michel Sardaby" recently distributed, in France only I think (see link of article in french - Use translated page if interested : http://blogdechoc.over-blog.com/article-l-art-de-michel-sardaby-97875958.html )
Mr Sardaby has health problem so this album is for him / to him, auto-produced by his daughter Patricia
Intense moment is here http://musique.fnac.com/a718813/Michel-Sardaby-Intense-moment-CD-album
Merci pour l'Art
