Release Notes:
There's no doubt about it: It's a small world and
it's especially small at Small World Project
performances, where everyone plays small-scale
instruments to produce rare and compelling musics
of the world. Sebastien Dufour's charango and
ukulele (MG3 : Montreal Guitare Trio, Vent du Nord,
Intakto) take centre stage, accompanied by Patrick
Graham's miniature percussion section (La Nef,
Autorickshaw, Ramasutra) on the cajonito, kanjira,
udu, carillon and other diminutive devices.
Resonating through it all is Frederic Samson (Musa
Dieng Kala, Vent du Nord, OVO), on his double bass
a big, contrasting exception in this small world of
music, whose enveloping depths will balance the
voices of the other instruments.
Drawing its inspiration from the four corners of
the globe, the Small World Project's music vibrates
with Brazilian samba beats, Chilean folklore,
flamenco Andalou, Hawaiian Island melodies, and the
musical strains of Morocco, Senegal, India with
some good old American bluegrass in the mix.
Primarily scored by ensemble leader Sebastien
Dufour, this trio's original music is all about
decompartementalizing musical styles by integrating
pure world elements, classical music and jazz.
Winner of the Galaxie / CBC Rising Stars Award at
Festival des Musiques et du Monde and nominated for
Best Jazz & World Music album of the year at the
2008 OPUS Awards, the trio was performing recently
at the Montreal International Jazz Festival and
will be part of the next edition of the New York
Uke Fest.
