FRANÇOIS CARRIER TRIO: "INTUITION"
«Ever since John Coltrane and the avant-garde, jazz music, with its free forms of improvisation, has allowed artists to not only juggle with sounds and rhythms, but to also express the spiritual experience. Listening to «INTUITION» offers us both the passion of playing and the passion of living. The original compositions on «INTUITION» range from the very rhythmic («Organic Purity») to the meditative («L'Étang»). Pieces such as «The Way I Thought» or «Insomnie» are more fanciful, letting one's thoughts float freely about. In this respect, François CARRIER's music, with its occasional unpredictability, seems to flow out of a sens of great inner freedom. On bass, Pierre CÔTÉ is a remarkable presence. A style that is very expressive, and there is nothing that doesn't come from pure feeling. François CÔTÉ can be solid and discreet, or percussive and robust, and does it well. This recording by the FRANÇOIS CARRIER TRIO is the imprint of their experience as individuals and as musicians, a window open upon the planet.»

FRANÇOIS CARRIER TRIO: "POURSUITE"
Free jazz, an evolutive music played by three musicians listening to one another.

The three musicians have made an agreement to leave refrains and choruses in the check room. Written melodies are the starting point of improvisations where the skill of each musician blooms. The most imp*ortant quality of this Quebec-based trio relies, without a doubt, on the unpredictable side of their playing. Sometimes impetuous, sometimes lacylike, meditative or bursting, each detour brings its own mood.
