Release Notes:
Francois Carrier is one of Quebec's (and Canada's)
essential musical voices, a saxophonist who has
combined commitment and discipline with intuition
and inspiration to gradually realize an arresting
musical vision, one that is compounded of free-jazz
traditions and a compellingly personal melodic
invention.
For his third recording, Compassion (Naxos Jazz),
he brought together acoustic bassist Pierre C⌠tΘ,
drummer Michel Lambert and pianist Steve Amirault
(enlarging the trio on three pieces) to form the
Francois Carrier Trio + 1, four outstanding
improvisers devoted to the same spirit of free play
and creation. In March 2001, Compassion was awarded
the Juno Award for "Best Contemporary Jazz Album."
