Bernard Estardy - 1939/2006

Bernard Estardy ( aka Le Baron de Mehouilles, The Baronet ) is the hidden genius behind many of the biggest hits in 70's French "variété" music.
As a fabulous musician and talented organist, Mister Estardy first collaborated with Nino Ferrer in the 60's, and is also the one responsible for most of "our national & tenderly regretted CLOCLO" (Claude Francois) music hits...
In the middle of the 60's, along with Georges Chatelain, he created the "experimental sound" STUDIO C.B.E !


Used to be an unfindable one, recently reissued by the VADIM record label (and identically to the original piece). Bravo guys !

Mythic record and a scarce one too, somewhere between scat, jerk with an hypnotic touch.

" Le sifflet du Baron" was used as a radio theme too. Crazy one !
