A meeting of two guitar trios, one from Montreal and the other from California. For the past 10 years or so, the musicians of the sextet thus formed have been getting together periodically to jam, record or perform. The show at l’Outremont is part of a North American tour that will take them to six other cities in Quebec.
In a Landscape, their most recent album together, produced in a church in the township of Gore, a municipality in the Laurentians north of Lachute, gives a good idea of the repertoire expected on the tour. It features both original pieces by members of the sextet and rearranged covers, such as Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes”, David Bowie’s “Space Oddity”, “Perpetuum Mobile” by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and the title track, composed by John Cage.
