On April 29, 2026, at the Lion d&#8217;Or in Montreal, she will launch this first album, coincidentally, on International Jazz Day. I spoke with the young artist in the following interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: Hello Val\u00e9rie. What is your musical background?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>I was introduced to music in elementary school, in an arts-education program in music in Laval, specifically at Des C\u00e8dres school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: That&#8217;s very funny! My wife teaches at that school!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>Oh really? I was there at the end of the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: She arrived a little later.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>I really enjoyed this journey. I learned a lot there. It&#8217;s a solid training program. There were excellent professors, including one named Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Brunel. He also played the piano. I took a few private lessons with him, and he introduced me to jazz a bit. At school, I was learning the violin. I played it for a long time, but I stopped because I didn&#8217;t see myself having a career as a professional violinist. I went to University, studying anthropology, and at some point, I missed music, so I decided to enrol in a CEGEP course (at Vanier), on the side, telling myself I would do it for fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: And you chose the drums?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> Yes. It attracted me, maybe because my father had one at home. He had played it in his youth, for fun, with friends. It was kept stored in boxes. I wasn&#8217;t really allowed to touch them when I was young. They said it made noise. But my curiosity had always been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: But you didn&#8217;t know how to play?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>No! 10 days before entering college, I learned that I had to prepare for an audition! I thought they were going to teach me how to play! Eventually, I succeeded, and then I fell in love with the instrument and with jazz. I dropped anthropology, completed my college studies, and got into McGill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: A beautiful and unusual journey! Was it intimidating for you to feel that you were starting on an instrument while most others had already mastered theirs for a longer time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>I put a lot of pressure on myself to succeed, but the feeling I had was to reconnect with the world I knew, the world of music that I had known at \u00c9cole Des C\u00e8dres. I couldn&#8217;t believe that music could be my life, that people studied it at school like I had done in elementary school, full-time. I wanted to work hard even if I started later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I believed a lot in my potential and above all, I was so in love with music that I didn&#8217;t feel I had any other choice. I had the feeling that I had been looking for a long time to get involved in a project that resonated with me to this extent. I considered myself really lucky even though it was certainly not easy to prepare for an audition at McGill when I had only been playing for a year and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: Who did you study with?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>With Jim Doxas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: Great musician. Very, very solid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>Yes, indeed! Then I also studied with Andr\u00e9 White, Kevin Dean, Dave Lang, Darryl Green. I have now completed my master&#8217;s degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: How did you become familiar with the jazz repertoire? Who were your first role models?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> When I started at Vanier, I knew nothing about jazz. An example I often mention when I talk about my first year there is that I wasn&#8217;t sure if John Coltrane played the trumpet or the saxophone! Lol. Then someone I met made me a mixtape with their favourite drummers. A playlist that I listened to quite a bit. On that list, there was<em> Soul Station <\/em>by Hank Mobley. Then, a friend made me listen to <em>Night Train <\/em>by Oscar Peterson. With Elvin Jones on drums. There, I started copying what the drummers were doing. I was in my rehearsal room and I was trying to &#8220;play along.&#8221; I was listening to the album and paying attention to what the drummer was playing and trying to reproduce it. I did it a lot with Ed Thigpen. Then with Jimmy Cobb. I feel that they are really the ones who taught me how to find a good feel on the cymbal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I spent hours and hours and hours and hours on it. There is also Max Roach, whom I studied a lot. More for the language, in his case. He is a drummer who has spent a lot of time crafting a discourse to make all the parts of the drum kit speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The hi-hat, the bass drum, the snare, the toms. There is an extremely melodic language when he improvises. I spent a lot of time transcribing his solos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: And finally, the album?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> It&#8217;s my Master&#8217;s project. We have to record an hour of original music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: And the musical universe is one without a piano. Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>I would say that my main source of inspiration for composition is the one I associate with Elvin Jones&#8217; band. I must also mention Andr\u00e9 White, who has an influence on the world he creates in his compositions, in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: Do you feel as much like an accompanist as a composer, or has composing made you want to delve into it even more?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> Mainly, I feel like a musician. I love playing, accompanying musicians who present their own original music because it&#8217;s personal. You enter their world. You discover other facets of their musical personality. Then, it was the same feeling I had with myself of sitting down and listening to the sounds I heard, and then creating pieces from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: The album has a common thread, an extra-musical inspiration&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> Yes, I went to pick from an author named Clarice Lispector, in a short novel she wrote called <em>\u00c0gua Viva<\/em>. More specifically, a quote in there, <em>State of Garden and Shadow.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: What does it mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> When I read this book, it was a significant period of transformation for me because I was about to finish my studies, and I had grown immensely as a musician, but also as a composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a book I had read just before starting the composition process, and this quote had really struck me. She is an author who writes in a very vivid manner. Sometimes a sentence will make me think and then travel a lot, and then this sentence, <em>State of Garden and Shadow<\/em>, it makes me connect with the feeling of taking the time, of taking care of a garden. It takes patience, it takes a lot of work, but there is so much beauty that comes out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s just an image that really resonated with what I was experiencing at McGill. From an aesthetic point of view, there is also what attracts me in the sounds I hear, the balance of darkness and beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: And the three members who complete your quartet, they are all from McGill. Good connections?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>Yes, very good. Musicians that I really like. Camille Thurman, Caoilainn Power, and Ira Coleman. Caoilainn, I&#8217;ve been playing with her for a long time. I already had a sextet in the years 2016-2017, and she was part of it. She plays the alto saxophone, and I love her way of playing. Camille Thurman and then Ira Coleman, musicians I admire. For me, it was the ideal band, even when I was writing before I even knew if they would agree to record with me, it was their sound that I imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: How do you feel about having them with you on your first album?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> It&#8217;s a great privilege. I really felt while recording that I was with professionals, and I was touched to know that they wanted to support me in this project. They really understood the aesthetic of the album, the kind of music I was referring to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: I find that you do a lot with finesse. I find that you do a lot with finesse. You are capable of power, but there is never any bluster. And you like to draw fine lines, don&#8217;t you? Do the classical years, the violin, have an influence?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> I think it indeed forged something very solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: The launch will take place on April 29, the eve of International Jazz Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe:<\/strong> Yes, I am very happy. Since 2015, we have been celebrating this day in Montreal (it had started a few years earlier elsewhere in the world). It&#8217;s a very beautiful occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PanM360: What&#8217;s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Val\u00e9rie Lacombe: <\/strong>A bit of a crazy project that will start on May 11 and run until June 5. I will present my project,<em> State of Garden in Shadow,<\/em> across Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve booked concerts all over Canada. Then, I hire local musicians. I will leave Montreal by car. I will drive to Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I would also like to book a tour in Eastern Canada. Then, well, slowly, I&#8217;m thinking about the next album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cabaretliondor.com\/evenement\/lancement-valerie-lacombe-a-montreal\/?id=3452\"><strong>INFO AND TICKETS FOR THE ALBUM LAUNCH ON APRIL 29, 2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drummer Val\u00e9rie Lacombe has just released an album titled State of Garden and Shadow (which I discuss more specifically in this review HERE).
