Following the reissue of three albums with 1970’s fusion superstars Coincidence, France’s legendary jazz guitarist Jean-Pierre Llabador is back in 2025 with an album of all-new recordings called 3’33 Treasure Hunt.

Surviving a car crash and life-threatening health events in recent years, Jean-Pierre does not disappoint on 3’33 Treasure Hunt. Although adverse health events have robbed him of his ability to physically play guitars on his own album, the compositional results are both amazing and superb, to say the least.

In light of not being able to play guitar himself on an album, on 3’33 Jean-Pierre has enlisted the help of a number of his esteemed musical friends, in a sense by composing all the music and producing the musicians on hand as just how to execute and define the musical maneuvers in his music.

With the combined package containing an 8-cut CD + 10” LP clocking in just under a half hour, 3’33 Treasure Hunt contains a vast universe of jazz and fusion styles and musical concepts befitting a music legend like Jean-Pierre Llabador.

The concept being that all the tracks here clock in at the desired time of 3 minutes and 33 seconds each, which shouldn’t be lost on the listener, and with all the music and arrangements getting right to point with very little time for squandered notes and spontaneous improvisation.

Listeners of the six guitar-based jazz-rock fusion instrumentals plus the two neo pop-fusion vocals here will quickly fall under the spell of the entire 3’33 Treasure Hunt album. Indeed, with this album, guitar legend Jean-Pierre is back with his definitive solo album that stands out among his true musical accomplishments.

Oh, and he is already planning a sequel!

1. Roses In Rhodes
2. Bowlywood
3. The Link
4. Long Beach
5. Betty on Franklin Avenue
6. Big Deal
7. Ghazaouet City
8. Blast

This confidently sculpted and genuinely heartfelt new recording opens on the impassioned R&B hipsway of Roses In Rhodes and then brings us the swarthy Bowlywood, the foot-tapper The Link, the sumptuous Long Beach, before the airy souled-out R&B of Betty on Franklin Avenue is brought forth, and that is itself backed seamlessly by the languishing beauty found driving Big Deal, the album rounding out on the playfully rambunctious, atmospherically-hued Ghazaouet City, closing on the intricate, all-encompassing Blast.
