MONTREAL, QC — On November 18, 2014, Jazz from Rant will release the latest recording by jazz composer, drummer and artist Michel Lambert, entitled Journal des Episodes II. The epic musical journey continues with 97 new episodes!
Journal des Épisodes is a series of compositions from a year long daily musical diary created by Michel Lambert, originally containing 366 short musical compositions for orchestra. The first recording was the result of transforming and performing 92 of these journal entries with a jazz trio. Alexandre Grogg, piano, and Guillaume Bouchard, bass, join forces with Michel again for this recording.
With this second installment, the second half of the year, the trio has reached new heights of creativity. Meticulously polishing every component of each of the episodes, they continue their iconoclastic work, once again challenging stylistic structures and conventions.
“Musical composition is never finished. It is in constant mutation and travels through time from many directions and levels at once” —Michel Lambert
