· by Rédaction PAN M 360

​Originaire du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Gabriel Genest est un saxophoniste, clarinettiste, flûtiste, compositeur et arrangeur établi à Montréal depuis 2013.

Bachelier en interprétation jazz (saxophone) à l’Université de Montréal , Il complète en 2020 une maitrise en Jazz Performance à l’Université McGill auprès de Frank Lozano, Rémi Bolduc et Jean-Michel Pilc. Durant son parcours, il a aussi eu l’occasion d’étudier la composition et l’arrangement avec Jean-Nicolas Trottier, Joe Sullivan, John Hollenbeck ainsi que John Roney.

Récipiendaire du prix François Marcaurelle de l’OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal et finaliste au FestiJazz de Rimousiki en 2019, Il présente son premier album Triptyque le 3 octobre 2021 avec le Gabriel Genest Quintet.Comme son nom l’indique, Triptyque tire son inspiration d’une réflexion sur les liens qui unissent la musique et les arts visuels. Les pièces de l’album explorent les thèmes des fractales, du triptyque, de l’abstraction, de l’espace, de la fluidité et de la perspective, cherchant donc à transposer en musique ces idées venues des arts visuels.

L’ensemble présente un jazz contemporain influencé par le jazz moderne et la musique classique. Le répertoire de l’album est le résultat d’une exploration de formes musicales longues et d’arrangements élaborés pour quintet visant à mettre en valeur les qualités des improvisateurs qui composent le groupe. De plus, sur l’album, trois pièces avec quatuor à cordes (Quatuor Saguenay) ont permis d’étendre la palette de couleurs et d’arrangements disponibles pour l’ensemble.


En plus d’écrire pour ses propres projets, ses compositions et arrangements sont joués et enregistrés par Le Big Band et l’ensemble de chambre jazz de l’Université de Montréal sous la direction de Ron di Lauro ainsi que le Chamber Jazz Ensemble de l’Université McGill sous la direction de Jean-Nicolas Trottier. De plus, en 2015, il collabore à la tournée Forever Gentlemen de Garou, Roch Voisine et Corneille comme l’un des principaux arrangeurs pour ce projet.

Originally from Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Gabriel Genest is a saxophonist, clarinetist, flutist, composer and arranger based in Montreal since 2013.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance (saxophone) from Université de Montréal, and in 2020 completed a master’s degree in jazz performance at McGill University with Frank Lozano, Rémi Bolduc and Jean-Michel Pilc. He has also studied composition and arranging with Jean-Nicolas Trottier, Joe Sullivan, John Hollenbeck and John Roney.

Recipient of the Prix François Marcaurelle from the OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal and finalist at the FestiJazz de Rimousiki in 2019, he presents his debut album Triptyque on October 3, 2021 with the Gabriel Genest Quintet.As its name suggests, Triptyque draws its inspiration from a reflection on the links between music and the visual arts. The pieces on the album explore the themes of fractals, triptychs, abstraction, space, fluidity and perspective, seeking to transpose these ideas from the visual arts into music.

The ensemble presents contemporary jazz influenced by modern jazz and classical music. The album’s repertoire is the result of an exploration of long musical forms and elaborate quintet arrangements designed to showcase the qualities of the improvisers who make up the group. The album also includes three pieces for string quartet (Quatuor Saguenay), expanding the palette of colors and arrangements available to the ensemble.

In addition to writing for his own projects, his compositions and arrangements have been performed and recorded by Le Big Band and l’ensemble de chambre jazz de l’Université de Montréal under the direction of Ron di Lauro, and McGill University’s Chamber Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Jean-Nicolas Trottier. What’s more, in 2015, he collaborated on the Forever Gentlemen tour with Garou, Roch Voisine and Corneille as one of the main arrangers for this project.
