laboratory with all best jazzmen in Montreal
Jazzlab makes surprisingly possible the gathering of distinctive paths within a collective endeavor to tame a wide spectrum of approaches and styles, from conventional swing to a Gil Evans impressionism via free jazz that sounds as much unpredictable as it can be articulated. A perfect swing and a capacity to sound sometimes like an intimate combo or like a powerful big band, help them out to build highly colored and contrasted atmospheres. All in all, an excellent example of the ongoing tradition of forward-thinking small big band strategy.
