STRUCTURE – pop music

Cool library-styled French album from 1970. Psychedelic, proggy jazz-funk with Brazilian/Bossa touches!
Groovy flute by BERNARD WYSTRAËTE plus heavy bass, drums (by ANDRÉ CECCARELLI), violin, occasional fuzz-wah guitar and Urszula Dudziak-like scat vocals.
In 1970, the AFA label asked flautist Bernard Wystraëte to register a “pop” album after the worldwide impact of progressive bands like Aphrodite’s Child and Jethro Tull. 
Bernard recruited some of his friends who were professional musicians and Structure was born. He wrote a collection of songs influenced by progressive rock, jazz and Brazilian music. The “Pop Music” album was recorded live in the studio to give a “live show” feel. It was released later that year housed in a superb psychedelic sleeve. The band even toured across France and several countries at the same time that Bernard and other Structure members started backing famous French singer Marie Laforêt live.
