This Quebec-based trio features string-based instrumental jazz (violin, cello, contrabass) plus some cool percussion. Their sound is reminiscent of Kronos Quartet and the result is lyrical, almost chamber-like, but quietly adventurous with some worldly accents. The arrangements are tight, the interplays creative and the music is sophisticated and modern. *1. Relaxed w/a vaguely Arabic flair. Light percussion too. *2. Midtempo w/wordless vocals accenting the perc. 3. Slow w/a hint of the Baroque. Short but lovely. *4. Latin-flavored percussion guides this dreamy, midtempo sway. 5. Down/midtempo. Restrained passion under the surface. *6. Uptempo, driving beat & the strings bounce off each other. 7. Slow, spare, deceptively simple. The cello goes wandering. 8. Slow, then mid. Good use of perc to echo the strings. 9. Downtempo, like a slow Jewish folk dance. 10. Upbeat perc solo into fast strings, a whirling sound. *11. Slow, vaguely sad w/a quiet sort of power. Moving. | ||
