"It is somewhat ironic that the country with the closest ties to vanguard American jazz in the ‘60s has been almost wholly left out of the modern picture. France has produced quite a few world-renowned improvisers, but the architects of France’s ‘New Thing’ have been summarily left by the wayside over the course of the music’s history. Pianist François Tusques, while almost unknown outside his native France, is a crucial figure in the development of the music in his sector of the continent and can lay claim to recording the first true French free jazz album."
