Benoit Delbecq - Francois Houle: Because She Hoped

Read "Because She Hoped" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nell'aria inevitabilmente cameristica che si respira in questo CD, il pianista parigino Benoit Delbecq e il clarinettista canadese Francois Houle riescono ad evitare ogni soluzione di continuità eccessiva tra l'improvvisazione e gli stralci tematici, che talvolta sono parti scritte, altre volte sono delle brevi strutture ricorrenti, oppure semplici indicazioni armoniche. Così il clima del tutto estemporaneo ...

Read "François Houle 5+1: Montreal, Canada, July 3, 2012" reviewed by Sara Villa


François Houle 5+1Casa del PopoloMontréal, QuébecJuly 3, 2012Wild strawberries. This was the taste of clarinetist François Houle's 5+1 performance at Casa del Popolo, presenting his group's just-released Genera (Songlines, 2012). Why wild strawberries? Because the entire two sets had both the fresh and savory, yet also spicy and untamed flavor of ...

Francois Houle 5 + 1: Genera

Read "Genera" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Celebrated Canadian progressive jazz clarinetist Francois Houle enlists an all-star support system for a comprehensive album that radiates numerous slants amid ethereal backwashes, scrappy improvisation and softly explorative passages. “Albatros" highlights the sextet's manifold capabilities. Propagated by Houle's buoyantly lilting stride, the band generates a deceptively complex primary theme based on odd-metered unison phrasings, spanning free-bop ...

Benoît Delbecq: Circles and Calligrams

Read "Circles and Calligrams" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il pianoforte come laboratorio timbrico. L'idea in sé non è nuova, ma in campo jazzistico non è stata molto investigata e consente di tenere a distanza l'opzione soltanto muscolare verso lo strumento. Benoît Delbecq è artista intelligente, da anni alle prese con lo studio delle possibilità di estendere la funzione dialogica del piano preparato. Una funzione ...
