3 nights, 3 trios, and their innumerable musical possibilities: armed with an intuitive comprehension of improvisation, Lori Freedman plunged head first into 3. Amongst the noisy textures of Martin Tétreault and René Lussier, over the wonderful rumblings of Nicolas Caloia and Danielle Palardy Roger, or answering the delicate preparations of Jean Derome and Rainer Wiens, {nbio:freedman_lo} gives on 3 the full mesure of her talent.

Tim Brady is a guitarist renowned for the finesse of his interpretations. Even better, he is completely dedicated to its contemporary repertoire. With GO [Guitar Obsession], his fifth album on the Ambiances Magnétiques label, {nbio:brady_ti} proves once again that his passion is shared by the best minds of his time.

Six years after their album Dérapages à cordes, Arthur Bull and Daniel Heïkalo are back on Ambiances Magnétiques with the new Concentrés et amalgames. And this time, in addition to their now familiar guitar duos, five tracks feature {nbio:heikalo_da} on drums.

Following his delicate improvisations with Joëlle Léandre, pianist Gianni Lenoci is back with Sextant, a new album of inspired jazz with a hint of contemporary composition: sharp and dynamic.

Antoine Berthiaume presents Ellen’s Bar, his latest album and his first on the Ambiances Magnétiques Jazz label. For this trio, he couldn’t possibly be backed by more solid musicians: double bass player Michel Donato and drummer Pierre Tanguay. The delicate compositions of Ellen’s Bar have the perfect cool for this summer.

You can hear the voices of DB Boyko and Christine Duncan on Danielle Palardy Roger’s latest album, Bruiducœur, prières des infidèles. Now they are back, along with Jean Martin ({nbio:duncan_ch}’s partner in the band Barnyard Drama). One percussionist, two vocalists, and an infectious disease causing the weirdest sounds: Idiolalla.
