Title: Vintage Franco
Review: To me the songs on this CD represent Franco and OK Jazz's greatest era, the late 60's. It was at this point that the length of the songs grew past the five minute mark, allowing the band to fully develope the groove. Only two of the songs on this disc fail to break the four and a half minute mark. Franco's guitar is the main vehicle of each song and is clear and up front in the mix. The saxophone solos, most likely by Verkys, are one of the highlights of this period. The production is clear and the instrumentation is uncluttered.None of these songs appear on eitherFrancophonic: A Retrospective Vol. 1 1953-1980or onAfrican Classics, the currently available collections of Franco's work.
