    <description>Cord&#226;me, a string trio composed of Marie Neige Lavigne, violin, Julie-Odile
    Gauthier-Morin, cello and Jean Felix, double bass, supported by the percussionist Pierre
    Tanguay, proposes, in this, its first CD, a musical voyage through the compositions of Jean
    F&#233;lix Mailloux. A CD filled with new music for strings, of diverse inspiration, from world
    folk to film music, through improvisation. From world to village, the music of Cord&#226;me is
    filled with sonic images, and combines lyricism, relentless rhythms and flying atmospheres, the
    whole permeate with an unusual sensuality and sensitivity.</description>

    <description>In their first album together, Linsey Wellman and Mike Essoudry combine to explore
    the possibilities of tone, rhythm and melody. Over thirteen tracks and nearly an hour, they
    embrace stasis and movement, meditation and exuberance, delicacy and amplitude. Their
    improvisations and compositional sketches look both forward and back, to the ever new
    possibilities of instant creation, and to sounds, themes and evocations as old as humanity
    itself.</description>

    <description>In this new project, Jean-Marc H&#233;bert makes us share his colorful musical
    interbreeding: a new territory in which are imbricated Arab, Indian and African scales,
    intermingled with western rhythms. This quartet is also a privileged meeting between musicians
    of various traditions - world music, jazz, musique actuelle - who, for the occasion, join this
    voyage cheerfully.</description>

    <description>Ironico Orkestra is the reunion of two reed blowers, with Guillaume Bourque on
    clarinet and Luzio Altobelli on accordion. Their debut CD Passeggiata dei buddies, covers
    various moods similar to playful and spontaneous dialogues dominated by a distinctive
    traditional folk spirit that is neither Italian nor Gypsy or Jew. Mostly, this is two friends
    playing together like kids - a stroll between buddies, as the title says.</description>

    <description>In 2005, the percussionist Pierre Tanguay, a presence on the Quebec music scene,
    met prominent Belgian jazz saxophonist, Erwin Vann. This promising meeting in Montreal was
    organized by bassist Michel Mergaerts. The trio shares more than a love for jazz, they also all
    frequently pass through the Montreal airport. This explains the name of this airy trio and
    their unique style of jazz. Its sensitivity is weaved with spirited improvisation and buoyant
    rhythms. Between the free and wild polyrhythmic play of Pierre Tanguay and the delicate
    virtousity of Erwin Vann&#8217;s pure precision we find the firm stance and light hand of
    Michel Mergaerts&#8217; soothing sanctuary. A twist to the expected, a comforting surprise for
    the soul, the sounds of Yul uplift, making theirs a truly unique trio.</description>

    <description>Recorded live in Montr&#233;al in December 2007, the new CD by Trio Damian
    Nisenson +3 features saxman Damian Nisenson&#8217;s own compositions, performed by the trio and
    their three special guests: Luzio Altobelli, Denis Plante, and Ziya Tabassian. At the heart of
    this album we find Nisenson&#8217;s music, informed by Jewish influences and Buenos
    Aires&#8217;s underground, and here delivered with gusto and brio.</description>

    <description>Eclectic, always emotional. Wandering music, music of bags and voyages, on the
    back of a Music Elephant. Pierre Tanguay, a floating wall, solid and foldable, sparks at the
    heart of the elephant. Jean F&#233;lix Mailloux, who looks further into it and swells it, the
    elephant's legs. The melodic intensity of Damian Nisenson, the sinuous song of the
    elephant.</description>

    <description>First CD of the Trio Jean F&#233;lix Mailloux, first date for his very beautiful
    compositions, which invite us to climb on the back of the animal that lives in the depths of
    any music: emotion. The weighty and velvety notes of Arden Arapyan, the fleshy double bass of
    Mailloux, the light drumming of Jonathan Racine M&#233;nard and the comfort of its silences.
    This is jazz without artifice, it tickles your ears and makes you dream.</description>
