Ce trio lance l’album Montréal, 1985, une œuvre inédite qui sort sous l’étiquette Tour de Bras en version vinyle seulement. Il s’agit d’un album pas complètement improbable, témoin d’une rencontre pas tout à fait prévisible…
« Au terme d’un séjour à New York, Peter Kowald, avait souhaité revenir à Montréal avant de rentrer en Allemagne. Il est venu m’entendre à Saint-Henri en 1985 et m’a demandé de jouer avec lui, et à mon tour, je l’ai invité à jouer avec Michel et moi à notre studio. Il a vite proposé que l’on enregistre avant de quitter Montréal, dans l’éventualité d’en tirer un album. L’album n’a jamais vu le jour, mais 37 ans plus tard, Montréal, 1985 paraît, témoin d’une rencontre ni absolument improbable ni tout à fait prévisible… Comme quoi… »
– Yves Charuest
This trio is releasing the album Montréal, 1985, a previously unreleased work under the Tour de Bras label in a vinyl-only version. It is a not entirely unlikely album, the result of a not entirely predictable encounter…
“After a stay in New York, Peter Kowald wanted to come back to Montreal before returning to Germany. He came to hear me play in Saint-Henri in 1985 and asked me to play with him, and in turn, I invited him to play with Michel and me in our studio. He quickly suggested that we record before leaving Montreal, with the possibility of an album. The album never saw the light of day, but 37 years later, Montréal, 1985 was released, a testimony to an encounter that was neither absolutely unlikely nor entirely predictable… Just like that… ”
L’Off Jazz présente Charbonneau ou les valeurs à’ bonne place
by Rédaction PAN M 360
Une célébration des 10 ans de la commission Charbonneau avec Hugo Blouin et son orchestre sous la forme d’un spectacle qui fait rire et réfléchir.
Sur scène, quatre voix épatantes et un ratoureux quintette font devoir de mémoire dans une rocambolesque aventure musicale avec projections vidéo.
Ils chantent le jazz tordu de Charbonneau ou les valeurs à’ bonne place, Volume 2, paru en février 2022.
Composées à partir des archives du fameux téléroman politique, leurs chansons dressent un portrait de société aussi dérangeant qu’amusant, un travail amorcé avec le Volume 1, lauréat du prix GAMIQ 2018 d’Album jazz de l’année et du prix OPUS 2019 du Concert jazz de l’année.
Hugo Blouin s’intéresse particulièrement au son de la langue parlée et à aux archives à connotation sociale; il repique des sons concrets pour composer ses chansons.
Hugo Blouin and his orchestra celebrate the 10 th anniversary of the Charbonneau inquiry commission with a new jazz extravaganza that will get you both laughing and thinking.
On stage, four fantastic singers and a crafty quintet exercise their duty of memory in a unique, funny and relevant musical adventure with video clips. They sing the twisted new jazz of “Charbonneau ou les valeurs à’ bonne place, volume 2”, launched in February 2022 with Multiple Chord Music (Montreal) and Recommended Records (UK).
Rising from the archives of the famous political soap opera, their songs paint a disturbing, yet amusing portrait of Quebec society, initiated with “Volume 1”, winner of the 2018 GAMIQ Jazz Album of the Year Award and the 2019 OPUS Jazz Concert of the Year Award. Everything is covered, from Rambo’s remorse to the anxious whistleblowers, not to forget the absurd quotes that made everybody smile.
Does it mean bateau?
Montrealer Hugo Blouin loves the music of concrete sounds and writes songs from their transcription. His main focus is the sound of the spoken word and archives of social importance. As a bassist, he plays with the band L’abîme, with the Christine Tassan Quintet and with poet Veronique Bachand in “Avec le rire de ma grand-mère”. In the last 15 years, he toured in North America and Europe, and collaborated to 30 albums as performer, composer or producer.
Efusion A Cappella présente Of The Garden au Cabaret Lion d’Or
by Rédaction PAN M 360
L’ensemble a cappella vedette de l’université McGill est de retour avec un souffle musical renouvelé, au son de ses classiques RnB et de nouveaux arrangements à saveur contemporaine et alternative. À la frontière de l’innovation vocale, Effusion invite les curieux et les habitués à prendre place dans son jardin et se laisser bercer par les effluves de son répertoire varié.
Those who are already crazy about Cameroonian musicians Richard Bona and Blick Bassy are guaranteed to trip out on Bantü Salsa! The March 11 performance at Lion d’Or is the first official release of this groove-obsessed octet, which brings together seven nationalities (a possible record even by Montreal’s standard of multi-ethnic crosspollination). It’s also the launch of an eponymous debut album of ten original compositions with “all the best to come from the streets”, as Zebda would say. The album also features an steaming hot brass section, a real Mandingo kora played by an authentic Malian and, in the role of the leader who gives it his all, the excellent bassist and singer Just Wôan, a native of Yaoundé.
Hailing from the Malian griot caste, raised in the Kayes region in the western part of the country (near the Senegalese border), and a Montrealer by choice, the singer Sountougoumba Diarra firmly respects her African heritage while showing a strong desire to update it, and thus she becomes Djely Tapa. Caleb Rimtobaye (Afrotronix, H’Sao) helped her in this process, resulting in the beautiful album Barokan, released in January 2019. Here is Djely Tapa perfectly equipped to represent the immense culture of Africa 2.0. Malian and Sahelian traditions blend into the vast electronic universe, but it’s all still part of the West African movement. Within the Montreal musical community, she is THE African singer of the moment.
