Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Leading such an outstanding group of players in the production of an album requires much candor and courage. Guitarist Antoine Berthiaume is joined by Michel Donato and Pierre Tanguay in this dynamic trio that will that will groove your heart and soul. Ellen's Bar unveils a different side of Antoine's multifaceted activities. The eleven originals presented here are bursting with vitality and showcasing a firm and lively guitar style, while relying strongly on the jazz trio tradition. Except for the pieces written by Donato and Tanguay, Berthiaume has dedicated all his compositions to friends made in Montreal and New York over the last few years, while he was studying."-Ambiances Magnetiques
