 Neil Chotem

" Live au El Casino"

Columbia CBS  PFC-80034, 1979 original issue (Canada)

Following Harmonium's magnus opus "l'Heptade" in 1976,  Neil Chotem recorded "Vers l'Infini" in 1978, and this awesome and  long out-of-print  monster "Live au El Casino" (at Montreal's renowned show bar).

This live performance is nothing less than a brilliant live post-Harmonium set....and then some !!      Neil Chotem (piano, synthesizers) is joined by Harmonium alumni Serge Fiori (guitars and co-author on 2 tracks), Denis Farmer (drums, percussion),  Libert Subirana ( flute, sax), Louis Valois (bass), Monique Fauteux (mini-Moog, Fender) and Marie-Claude Seguin (vocals).  

A Superb Performance !
