Release Notes:

A far more effective take on the jazz tradition is
Pee Wee et moi, Robert Marcel Lepage's tribute to
clarinetist Pee Wee Russell. The album features 12
wonderful originals and two Russell tunes arranged
for no less than seven clarinets. And while that
may sound like a jazz nightmare, Lepage's quirky
compositions and the fine rhythm section playing of
Normand Guibeault, Pierre Tanguay and Rene Lussier
make for a moody and interesting album that paints
a vivid tapestry of Russell's eccentric character.
The songs are densely orchestrated often using
rhythmically inventive shout choruses to evoke a
50's swing feel, while harmonic and melodic shifts
pull the work into the present. Ironically, the
clarinet solos often begged for the restatement of
an intricately arranged melody and Rene Lussier is
underused on guitar, with quick glimpses of his
amazing talent often drowned in a sea of reeds. But
these are minor quibbles on what is a truly
original tribute to an idiosyncratic clarinet
pioneer.
