I once heard of a guy called Jobere Artman, and a group called Urban Sax----- I taped a show from Echoes about 5years ago in which Urban Sax played in NYC....... Any of you Blokes have a make on this cat or this group? Supposedly, one song had 45 saxophones playing at once, and it was quite original, and pleasant..... Thanks for any and all help! Hk!

You're referring to Gilbert Artman, a drummer/keyboardist/saxophonist who led the amazing French group Lard Free before he started Urban Sax [a band I haven't heard]. Lard Free have 4 albums available through Spalax, a French label that specializes in reissuing psychedelic/prog-rock/krautrock classics [I think Forced Exposure and Other Music would have most if not all of their catalog in stock]. All date from the 70s and all are worth owning. Lard Free created a blend of psychedelic jazz fusion and spacey electronics that sounds like no other band on earth (except for one track that resembles a track on Miles' Bitches Brew). The albums are Gilbert Artman's Lard Free, I'm Around About Midnight, III [Roman numeral 3] and Unnamed. Begin with III, which is one of the most amazing-sounding albums I've ever heard. It's such an alien piece of music, an overwhelming vortex of unpeggable cosmic sounds that never fails to astound me.
