The Feeling of Jazz

A complete joyride from beginning to the very end, especially if you dig many of these old songs. — Downtown Music Gallery, USA
Une hâte joyeuse, jamais précipitée. Un enracinement qui est sève et bourgeonnement plutôt que sclérose. — Jazzman, France
A cult Montréal jazz band, Trio Derome Guilbeault Tanguay is loved for its irresistible swing, audacity, sophisticated group playing, highly original repertoire and authentic style. All these elements are the result of a vast comprehension of the history of jazz, not to mention a vigorous proposition as to its reinvention. With this second album, the Trio presents eleven jazz standards — Ellington, Waller, Cole Porter…

Among the First World’s experimental music communities, Québec’s Musique actuelle community is one of the more insular. One might surmise that they are sufficiently supported at home, making travel less the priority it is elsewhere in North America. Certainly, developing a US audience is nowhere near the top of their list, even though most of the New England is within reasonable driving distance from Montréal. Their CDs are not covered by such basic reference books as The Penguin Guide To Jazz On CD. They are busy living and doing their work, the overwhelming bulk of which bears only a passing resemblance to that from other communities. That’s why it is intriguing that these musicians would unabashedly celebrate mid-century American jazz in three concurrently released CDs.

The reason is partially artistic and partially marketing, explains
“Musique actuelle as defined by our community implies that the composer is also performer of his music,” she says, elaborating the philosophy that has guided AM since its inception in 1983. Yet with many of AM’s founders recently involved with projects honoring the compositions of jazz icons, such as bassist
“Montréal’s jazz community is active all year long,” she notes. “With l’Off Festival de jazz de Montréal, a new Regroupement des artistes de jazz et de musique actuelle du Québec and a new interest in jazz from many musicians, now seemed as good a time as ever to support these artists.”
However, after having released more than 150 CDs, AM has established a certain reputation and market, the couple of jazz sessions previously released by the label “often ended up in the wrong sections in stores or in the hands of reviewers more interested in musique actuelle,” she adds. “Ambiances Magnétiques Jazz (AMJ) allows our jazz releases to be clearly identified, categorized, reviewed and marketed in the jazz family.”
Although AMJ’s first CDs — clarinetist
It’s too early to gauge AMJ sales, but like most of the label’s product, there’s a close correlation between live performance and a CD’s popularity. “It’s all about playing live,” she declares. “The more concerts the more sales.”
Among the 10 or so CDs AM releases each year, she expects that two to four will be jazz. But since AM is designed to give artists mastery over their work, it depends on what projects are offered to the label. Already scheduled for spring release is a trio disc by Quebec guitarist

Voici trois musiciens rompus aux techniques de l’improvisation la plus expérimentale et dont la palette stylistique est reconnue pour son éclectisme. Quand ces trois-là se décident à revisiter le grand livre du jazz américain, c’est une véritable partie de plaisir. Le son du saxophoniste (et flûtiste)

Qui dit équation dit évidemment, et non naturellement, facteurs et variables. Déclinons-les. Mettons la table. Depuis quelque temps déjà, le jazz n’est pas en grande forme. Par peur de l’aventure, par culte du mimétisme, beaucoup de ces quidams qui se prétendent producteurs font ce que les autres ont fait et font. Tenez, cette année il y a avalanche de chansons de Noël fondues dans le jazz. Cela ne relève plus du pathétique mais de la bêtise.

Un travail de fourmi
Le nouvel album de DGT est le contraire de tout cela. Il est donc intelligent, très intelligent. Il y a en tout cas une intelligence de ce qu’est le jazz qui mérite toutes les salutations, les discrètes comme les plus percutantes. Car ces trois-là se sont approprié des pièces écrites par d’autres pour les transformer. Pour les remanier de manière à ce qu’elles soient le reflet de leur personnalité musicale, de leurs penchants. Ils ne les ont pas vampirisés, ni piratés, les morceaux en question. Ils ne les ont pas rénovés, mais bien restaurés.
