Release Notes:
Born in Sorel Quebec,
guitarist/composer/songwriter/producer Pierre CotΘ
is one of the busiest studio/live musicians on the
Montreal music scene. Over the last 20 years, he
has toured or recorded with artists such as Alain
Caron (UZEB) , Celine Dion, Carol Welsman, The
Benny Goodman Orchestra (New York), Jim Corcoran,
Le Cirque du Soleil, Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets),
Ken Peplowski, Dave Liebman, (New York) and
countless others. Equally versed in jazz, blues,
pop and country, he has played on several recording
sessions in Nashville and Los Angeles. Pierre has
also written music and several songs for various
Hollywood and Canadian movie productions as well as
themes for television. He was also nominated for
several "Adisq" (QuΘbec) and "Juno" (Canada) awards
as a producer/arranger, composer and musician.
His first offering "Amerika Plads" consists of 9
original compositions. Set within the acoustic jazz
idiom, his music is deep, nuanced yet powerful;
contemporary, yet melodic. As a guitarist, he draws
upon varied sources for inspiration. A fan of
contemporary jazz guitarists of the last 20 years
(he also cites Keith Jarrett as a huge influence),
his playing was also shaped by southern american
roots music (blues, rock, country and bluegrass).
For his first solo project, Pierre teams up with
fellow Juno nominee, saxophone-great Chet Doxas as
well as some of Montreal's premier jazz musicians.
Drummer Christian Pamerleau is one of Canada's
finest drummers and the leader of the "Vue
d'ensemble" euro-jazz quartet. Guy Boisvert, one of
Montreal's top call bassists and member of the
famed Franτois Bourassa trio shares bottom-end duty
with another bass virtuoso, Frederic Alarie, who
also enjoys a prolific solo career in his own
right.
