Trio Derome / Guilbeault / Tanguay

Danse a L'Anvers

Label: Ambiances Magnetiques Country: Canada

"The first disc of the trio featured compositions by Jean Derome only, their second, The Feeling of Jazz, a replay of great compositions dip into the history of jazz. This third release, Danse à l'Anvers combines the two visions: 5 compositions by Jean Derome and 6 standards including: a piece by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Roland Kirk, Misha Mengelberg and two by Eric Dolphy.

One of the most active and eclectic musicians on the Canadian creative music scene, Jean Derome has managed to earn the recognition of a larger public, a rare feat in that field. Thanks to his large-scale musique actuelle projects, his compositions, his work as an improviser, his jazz groups and his music for the screen and the stage, Derome ranks as a major creative force, in Quebec and abroad. He is experienced and innovative on both saxophone and flute, and his unique writing style cannot be mistaken for anyone else's. Sensitive and powerful, his music often features a funny strike that makes its complex nature more inviting."-Ambiances Magnetiques
