Descriptions, Reviews, &c.
"The Ensemble Pierre Labbé's first album for the label Ambiances Magnétiques,Risque et pendule offers a fusion of avant-garde jazz and contemporary/classical music. Featuring some of the most dynamic and versatile musicians from those fields, the Ensemble Pierre Labbé delivers a first-rate musical performance. The ensemble's process is based on a search for balance between written music and improvisation. Their compositional concern steps away from the developments found in conventional jazz (theme-chorus-theme) to focus instead on a cohabitation between composition and improvisation.
Organic and sensitive, the album Risque et pendule presents nine pieces that make judicious leaps across stylistic boundaries. You will pick up the warmth of jazz, the refinement of contemporary music, the energy of rock and the wildness of musique actuelle. Quite a ride!"-Ambiance Magnetiques
