François
Carrier and Uwe Neumann
This is the first (double) CD by François Carrier in
Leo Records catalogue. “He is one of Québec’s
(and Canada’s) essential musical voices, a saxophonist
who has combined commitment and discipline with intuition and
inspiration to gradually realize an arresting musical vision,
one that is compounded of free-jazz traditions and a compellingly
personal melodic invention. On Happening, Carrier combines both
long-standing and fresh musical partnerships with free improvisation
and contrasting tonal systems to reach levels of sometimes startling
immediacy” (Stuart Broomer). |
