What remains of beauty in this formidable era? The Montreal pianist and composer Gentiane MG asks the question: Can You Hear the Birds? And answers it with 8 pieces of modern jazz, alongside bassist Levi Dover and drummer Mark Nelson, with whom she has been working for some time and with whom she has established her signature as a pianist, composer, and leader. The album will be released on March 27, under the Effendi label, which handles its distribution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An experience “rooted in trust, intuition, and collective expression,” as the promotional notes rightly say. Gentiane’s fourth album, Can You Hear the Birds?, is the album of the moment for Quebec jazz trios, in terms of groove, harmonic richness, cohesion, and overall sound.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other insightful information about her work, you will notice in this video interview that Gentiane MG initiated a unique methodology for this album, that is, based on “a creative process rooted in listening rather than intellectual construction, giving the music a sense of immediacy, fluidity, and lived experience.” This was manifested through an initial oral transmission of her compositional wishes, which were then structured around sheet music.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
