“He seems to feel at home in many different musical contexts.”

Again an irresistible work I have reviewed several other CDs by Berthiaume for Vital Weekly. The continuity in his releases consists in choosing for each release a new musical direction. Earlier works embrace his improvisations with Bailey and Frith. Also he made CD of very accessible easy listening jazz, etc. He seems to feel at home in many different musical contexts. So I’m always curious what will be the next step by Berthiaume. With Small Tease he shows his affection for folk music. For those who know his western-folkgroup Rodéoscopique, this will be no surprise. Small Tease is again a very accessible music, albeit thoroughly constructed and played with great skill. The CD counts 11 pieces. Five of them feature Berthiaume playing solo guitar, dobro or banjo. The other six pieces are for different line ups, with drummer Stefan Schneider, Rémi-Jean Leblanc on doublebass, Rick Haworth on pedal steel, and a string trio with Jennifer Thiessen, Améline Chauvette Groulx and Erika Donald.

“Simple, yes, but the melodies resonate just as surely as the vibrating strings, the notes hanging in the air like unanswered questions and lingering memories.”

Guitar man Antoine Berthiaume calls Small Tease a “solo-ish” album and, despite the help he gets from other musicians here, such as drummer Stef Schneider and bassist Rémi-Jean Leblanc, it really does have the feel of a solo album. Playing guitars, banjo and dobro, Berthiaume spins out deceptively simple country-tinged melodies that are immediately accessible. Simple, yes, but the melodies resonate just as surely as the vibrating strings, the notes hanging in the air like unanswered questions and lingering memories.
