Opération Rhino

Large group of (mostly) French, Paris based musicians, formed in April 1976. The original 9 piece troupe involved: [a637191], Alain Astruc, [a353280], [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/97540-Jac-Berrocal]Jacques Berrocal[/url], [a914218], [a720462], [a506362], [a53779] and [a173615]. The album involves a much bigger group, and a studio recording made in Paris which was played back whilst the 17 performers played live at a left wing political / music festival in Lyon (organised by one Alain Rauch). Themes by Jac Berrocal and Gilbert Artman can be heard, with one section sounding like a proto Urban Sax.
