"Three virtuosos perform live and in the studio with the flair of a chamber trio going deviously off-course, among other attributes. Multi-hued and intensely verbose, this CD provides a hearty glimpse of the art of improvisation via wily and mood-evoking vistas that might provide an altered-state of consciousness to some. With Joelle Leandre's sinuously engineered arco-lines, and clarinetist Francois Houle's crying and darting lines offering a contrapuntal element, the program is firmed up by Raymond Strid's comprehensive metrics......." - Glenn Astarita, Jazz Review
Never was a title more apt. It says it all; in music so profoundly of the moment, and in a world where time sometimes seems infinitely malleable, it's the preciousness of the moment that's often the first casualty. On 9 Moments, however, every moment seems like a cause for celebration.
Listeners can thus be eternally grateful for the fact that a performance such as “Moment Grave” was saved from the unforgiving ether. Bass player Joelle Leandre's uncredited vocal interjections have the effect of grounding proceedings that might otherwise have entered an entirely different realm; but the change wrought is not a negative one.
Francois Houle's clarinet seems to worry the gravity of bass and drums like a particularly persistent mosquito, and his use of circular breathing ensures his lines often possess a seemingly endless quality, spiraling yet railing against the silence. - Nic Jones - All About Jazz
Nouvelles retrouvailles entre la dompteuse de contrebasses Joëlle Léandre et le clarinettiste canadien François Houle que l’on a déjà entendus côte à côte dans plusieurs trios, en compagnie de Georg Graewe (piano) ou de Hasse Poulsen (guitare). Le label Red Toucan, déjà responsable de la documentation de ces précédentes rencontres, persiste et signe avec ce disque enregistré en 2006 à Victoria (Canada). Ce coup ci, le troisième larron est le percussionniste suédois Raymond Strid, collaborateur régulier de Mats Gustafsson ou Barry Guy.
Le public de l’édition 2009 du festival Sons d’Hiver a pu apprécier la maîtrise de ces improvisateurs de haute volée ; ceux qui n’ont pas eu cette chance pourront maintenant partager ces neufs moments d’une grande variété de tempérament et magnifiquement capturés, que ce soit dans des conditions live ou en studio. L’entente est ici plus que cordiale, les esprits sont vifs, les gestes précis et le discours d’une superbe justesse. On retiendra, entre autres, ce "Moment Grave" qui n’a rien de tragique et où les longues intonations gémissantes de l’anche et de l’archet sont progressivement infiltrées par les ponctuations aériennes de Strid, chocs boisés et rayonnements métalliques, bientôt rejointes par les incantations possédées de Léandre qui dérivent en scat improbable puis, la seconde d’après, en vocalises tout aussi incongrues. "Moment tendu" marque aussi un temps fort avec une ouverture polyphonique de Houle dans un mode post-Evan Parker et dont la frénésie n’effraie en rien ses deux comparses qui ne décelèrent pas le rythme ; quelques minutes plus tard, des notes claires et sereines qui pourraient sortir du lexique de Steve Lacy viennent conclure l’audacieux morceau. De leur complémentarité musicale à toute épreuve, ces trois-là fournissent ici une convaincante preuve par neuf. - Jean-Claude Gevrey - Octopus
Is this record fun! While pre-structured music might probably be useful for educational purposes, there isn't anything remotedly like an inspired, everything-goes improvised session like this to bring the listener to a state of elation. Rollicking atmospheres change with quicksilver speed, putting considerable personal resources to the service of the development of the group's sound with no feeling of egotism, while different personalities are clearly defined and contributing to the variety of the different tracks. - Francesco Martinelli - Moment's notice
