Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Led by Philippe Lauzier and Alexandre Grogg, Ensemble en pieces is an inventive jazz quintet with a velvety yet jagged sound. Here, commanding writing and raw improvisation coexist, striking a firm balance between restraint and spontaneity. This sonic mosaic is mostly the result of each musician's personal contribution: the tight rhythm section of bassist Christophe Papadimitriou and drummer Thom Gossage dialogues with the virtuoso pianist Alexandre Grogg and supports the master blowers Philippe Lauzier (saxes, bass clarinet) and Andy King(trumpet)"-Ambiances Magnetiques

Artist Biographies

• Show Bio for Philippe Lauzier

"Composer, improviser, instrumentalist (clarinet & saxophone) and sound artist, Philippe Lauzier participates in several projects that tour regularly in Canada and Europe, but also in USA, Latine America and Australia. In his solo and collective work, his ideas incorporate influences of contemporary musical languages as well as sounds from non-Western sources. Creative extended techniques, complex drones from which polyphonies emerge, and a certain compositional rigour are typical of his style. His interest for collaborative intermedia practices also leads him to create sound installation pieces, live performances for contemporary dance, theater music and many sound designs for visual art projects. Philippe lives in Montreal, Quebec."
