Release Notes:
Steve Amirault is one of Canada's most innovative
and unique voices as both pianist and composer. He
has been awarded several grants from both the
Canada Council and the Conseil des Art et des
Lettres du Quebec, won the Montreal International
Jazz Festival Competition, and received a Juno for
his collaboration with saxophonist Francois
Carrier.
Nova Scotia-raised pianist Steve Amirault now calls
Montreal his home, but he spent a number of years
in New York studying with Richie Beirach and
working with artists like Dave Liebman, Joe Locke,
and Eddie Henderson. Breath is an album that would
surely raise a lot of eyebrows were Amirault to
have a more significant American presence this is
the kind of piano trio record that deserves the
same attention as better-known pianists like Brad
Mehldau. His trio, featuring bassist Jim Vivian and
drummer Greg Ritchie, demonstrates the same kind of
innate simpatico found in Mehldau's group, but
Amirault's a less dense player than Mehldau, and a
more overtly lyrical writer.
