One of Quebec&#8217;s finest drummers on the neo-jazz, R&amp;B, and electro-fusion scene, Lalibert\u00e9 indulges himself with a selection of artists that rivals the best international productions of the genre. His second self-produced album is well worth a listen; fans of high-performance polyrhythms combined with solid harmonies and catchy melodies will be simply delighted by this encounter between Quebec drummers and international heavyweights: bassists Gary Willis, Robin Mullarkey (Jacob Collier, Steven Wilson), and Evan Marien (Tigran Hamasyan, Wayne Krantz); guitarists Mark Lettieri, Lo\u00efk Martin, Johan Modrin, and Lorenzo Ceci; singers L\u00e9onie Gray and Mel Pacifico; and saxophonists Julien Fillion and Guillaume Carpentier. Fran\u00e7ois Lalibert\u00e9, his friends, and his guests explore multiple layers of jazz fusion, R&amp;B, and electronic music.
