    <description>It was a warm july evening in Montr&#233;al and the city&#8217;s 15th annual
    summer jazz festival was already in full swing. I was with the four other judges of the
    festival&#8217;s Canadian band competition, sitting infront of an outdoor stage waiting for the
    next group vying for the 1994 Prix de jazz du Maurier to perform. We dutifully came ready to
    listen, but, to be honest, we were all in a hurry to take notes and then zip off to the salle
    du G&#233;su to catch Pharoah Saunders&#8217; set. The group we were committed to listen to was
    Montr&#233;al&#8217;s own Normand Guilbeault Ensemble, and, boy, were we in for a surprise. The
    group opened its set with a stunning original, &#8220;Transmission&#8221; (from its debut
    recording, Dualismus), and then followed with a brilliant rendition of Charles Mingus&#8217;s
    poignant &#8220;Meditations for Integration.&#8221; Guilbeault walked soulful acoustic bass
    lines and bowed up a storm as the rest of his quintet - Mathieu B&#233;langer on bass clarinet,
    Michel Ouellet on trombone, Ivanhoe Jolicoeur on flugelhorn and Paul L&#233;ger on drums -
    passionately negotiated the twists and turns of the challenging piece. I wrote in my notes,
    Pharoah can wait! No longer anxious to rush off, I realized that this band was unleashing one
    of the strongest festival sets so far. Six days and several competing acts later, we judges met
    together to decide the winner of the awrd for best up-and-coming Canadian band. our discussion
    didn&#8217;t last long. As a result of its victory, the Normand Guilbeault Ensemble enjoyed the
    first of several honors. [&#8230;] [&#8230;] In summing up his musical vision expressed on
    Basso Continuo, Guilbeault says &#8220;This has been a project of love for me. I don&#8217;t
    pretend to be in that select club of bassist&#8217;s we&#8217;re honoring, but I also
    can&#8217;t deny their influence on me as well as on the history of jazz, I&#8217;m not trying
    to imitate or copy. I can only play myself. This is my thanks to all the bassists who helped me
    to approach the many different worlds of jazz.&#8221;&#8212;Dan Ouellette, Down Beat, CD

    <description>Normand Guilbeault may well be the first Quebec-born jazz musician to have
    demontrated a profound acknowledgment of the influence of Charles Mingus. Like Mingus,
    Guilbeault is a bassist, a band leader and a composer. Unlike many of his peers, Guilbeault has
    dedicated a great deal of his time and his soul to unravel the mysteries of Mingus&#8217;s
    music. To realize this task, Guilbeault has looked for instrumentalists to form his group who
    were more than capable musicians - he found five others who shared and trusted their
    leader&#8217;s conviction that great compositions and a unique performance practice could
    provide the driving force for creative individual expression. Thus, the instrumentation of this
    group differs from that usually heard on today&#8217;s jazz scene. Of these instrumentalists,
    Mathieu B&#233;langer deserves first mention because he has courageously declared the clarinet
    to be his instrument of choice. Besides the instrument Mathieu also plays the unwieldly bass
    clarinet and, like Mingus&#8217; arguably most innovative instrumentist, Eric Dolphy, has
    proven that the clarinet can serve as a voice for the most demanding expressive statements.
    Trumpeter Ivanhoe Jolicoeur also plays the fl&#252;gelhorn and can be heard, on this recording,
    reaching into a wide bag of musical idioms needed to realize the demands of Mingus&#8217;
    music. Trombonist Michel Ouellet has found his own voice on the instrument - but one that has
    been formed through the appreciation and study of such lesser known but important stylists as
    lawrence Brown, Bill Harris, and Mingus&#8217;s own jJimmy Knepper. Drummer Paul L&#233;ger is
    to Normand Guilbeault what Dannie Richmond was to Mingus&#8217; - a strong supportive team
    player ready to go on the most wild adventure and seemingly able to read minds when someone is
    ready to stike off in a new direction. Invited guest, Jean Derome is a leader of his own groups
    and as much as a respected and established composer and instrumentalist as one could be in the
    world of Qu&#233;bec&#8217;s creative music scene. Jean&#8217;s list of recent accomplishments
    would fill many pages. When you hear him play the flute, alto and baritone saxophones, it
    becomes obvious that this man is a major talent deserving recognition on an international
    level. The point here is that he has enthusiastically joined Guilbeault&#8217;s group as a full
    partner in the ensemble and as one among six of the soloists. Obviously Jean&#8217;s love of
    Normand and Mingus&#8217; music led him to make room in his own busy schedule to participate in
    this project. About the leader, more needs to be said: Not yet forty years old, Normand
    Guilbeault has become one of the sought-after bassists in Montr&#233;al. He can be counted upon
    as a team player, a soloist able to satisfy the demands of both the leaders and the wide
    variety of music he is often called upon to play. Also, he reads music very well. In his role
    as a band leader, he has (with the collaboration and support of his companion Anne) overcome
    the obstacles of organization, preparation of material, looking for work, producing concerts
    and recordings, dealing with his musicians - all in addition to playing the bass very well. On
    this recording, I believe Guilbeault has accomplished what few have even attempted - to play
    Mingus&#8217; music within the spirit of its creator, yet applying a distinct personality to
    that effort.Andrew Homzy, Composer and music educator teaching jazz studies at Concordia
    University, Montr&#233;al, 1997</description>
