The Futura Label: Pierre Favre
Focusing narrowly on a specific instrument, sticking with it and working up a solo display of some variety isn’t the most far fetched goal a player can have. When that player’s a drummer, though, it might seem a bit odd to folks. That being said, the reason record labels that deal with bizarre recordings generally disappear after a time is that creating a document that no other business person would be willing to shell out cash for doesn’t usually make money. ‘Natch.
But thankfully, the Futura label lasted long enough to create a substantial discography, a relatively varied one at that. And while there aren’t too many folks who’d either like to create or listen to an album’s worth of drum solos, Futura released one in1972 as recorded by Pierre Favre.
