Thom Gossage Other Voices: In Other Words

Read "In Other Words" reviewed by Matt Marshall


According to drummer Thom Gossage, the tracks on this, the fifth release by his Other Voices ensemble, are launched from a single figure--anything from a simple melodic line, to fully composed pieces of music, rhythm scores, electronic soundscapes, chants and poems--that are subsequently abstracted through an assemblage process. The idea came to him after viewing a ...

[iks]: The Iksperience, Alive and Well

Read "[iks]: The Iksperience, Alive and Well" reviewed by Pascal-Denis Lussier


Those of you who've had the opportunity to hear the Montreal-based contemporary jazz band [iks] have, I'm certain, immediately felt one of two things: nonplussed or absolute love; it's one of those bands. Those who've felt the former and awarded this band the necessary attention along with those who've instantly felt the latter are ...

Steve Amirault: One Existence, Two Voices

Read "Steve Amirault: One Existence, Two Voices" reviewed by Pascal-Denis Lussier


Initially, I was disappointed to find out that pianist Steve Amirault was taking this new direction. Jazz singers have never really been my thing. Anyone that knows me knows I have a penchant for the lyric-less stuff--music that breaks all bounds, and language tends to impose extreme restrictions. Nonetheless, despite my own usual preferences, I'm always ...

Remi Bolduc: Cote d

Read "Cote d" reviewed by Michael McCaw


Inspired by an off-hand comment comes Cote d'écoute, a recording of Radio Canada TV theme songs that is full-bodied and mature, dispensing with the shtick that can hamper such material.

Remi Bolduc: Cote D'Ecoute

Read "Cote D'Ecoute" reviewed by John Kelman


Source material can, on the surface, come from the strangest of places. In addition to seemingly endless reworkings of the Great American Songbook, contemporary jazzers are now looking farther afield, with artists like the Bad Plus bringing an improvisational approach to material by groups like Blondie and Black Sabbath.
