Prix GAMIQ 2025 — Grosse liste — Nomination

Brûlez les meubles is a dual-headed jazz project led primarily by Éric Normand (Rimouski) and Louis Beaudoin-de la Sablonnière (Montréal). Born from their mutual passion for each other’s eccentric musical worlds, this duo is known for collaborating with experimental improvisers and renowned artists.

Their music is abstract and meditative, both modern and simple, drawing inspiration from jazz guitar legends such as Jim Hall, Bill Frisell, René Thomas, and Brandon Ross.

Their fifth album, Folio #5, is a beautiful release available on vinyl and CD, featuring American saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, Montréal pianist Marianne Trudel, and Rimouski vibraphonist Jonathan Huard.

The group freely explores compositions by both leaders, melodies from the rich repertoire of contemporary jazz, and unexpected selections from popular songs.
