Album Notes & Community Reviews

French protest singer Colette Magny teamed up with the avant-garde Free Jazz Workshop for the fiercely uncompromising 'Transit'. The album collides angry, highly political spoken-word chanson with manic, dissonant European free jazz improvisation, reflecting the radical leftist politics of the era.
