The debut album from this jazz/actuelle trio
playing a series of original compositions, and one
piece by Bart≤k. Theirs is a confident and well
paced music of rhythm and sax, allowing the tunes
to progress at their own pace and expressing
themselves clearly. Lauzier in particular is a
fluid player with a clean tone and a great
conversational aspect to his voice. Also a member
of Ensemble en piΦces, who released an excellent
improv record on Ambiances Magnetiques in 2004,
Lauzier has also worked with Antoine Berthiaume,
appeared in several Canadian festivals and has
toured throughout Canada, the US and Europe. Swiss
born Kuster moved to Canada in 1990 and has been a
Montreal based music since 2000. He has worked with
Lauzier in other settings, along with Gods of Taste
and the Yannick Rieu Acoustic Project. Miles
Perkins, a young Montreal musician is quickly
establishing himself with the likes of Tom Walsh,
Marianne Trudel and d'Erik Hove, along with Bob
Brookmeyer, Lori Freedman and Rainer Wiens.
Pour ce premier album d'un jeune trio quebequois,
compositions originales et improvisations inspirees
s'allient pour faconner un jazz de chambre
contemporain, sonnant tres proche du JIMMY GIUFFRE
