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
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
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il pianoforte come laboratorio timbrico.

Benoît Delbecq è artista intelligente, da anni alle prese con lo studio delle possibilità di estendere la funzione dialogica del piano preparato. Una funzione ...

Benoit Delbecq / Francois Houle: Because She Hoped
by Glenn Astarita
The superior recording quality, tinged with reverb and a capacious aesthetic, serves as a third instrument on this studio recording by French pianist Benoit Delbecq and Canadian clarinetist Francois Houle. Both artists occupy that progressive, cutting-edge space within modern jazz contexts. With their third duo outing, the musicians use extended techniques in an intimate setting. Here, ...
Benoit Delbecq Trio: The Sixth Jump
by AAJ Italy Staff
Vi è la Madre Africa. “Ando," per esempio, si sviluppa attorno ad un ritmo tribale che rimanda a villaggi sperduti e tramonti rosso fuoco. Ma anche in altri brani risuonano echi di strumenti etnici sia percussivi (presenti nel armamentario di Emile Biayenda) sia cordofoni (il contrabbasso di Jean-Jacques Avenel suona talvolta come la kora proveniente dal ...
