Lorraine Desmarais Trio - Live Au Club Soda - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Beyond the seas and the mountains, the moon shines brightly... All throughout the creative process surrounding this musical journey, the moon was my confidant. When it was romantic, it called forth my Latin influences. When it was full, it's energy filled me with jazzy rays of light. Moon dust's peace and quiet also led my fingers to give birth to rather unprecedented harmonies. I cannot promise you the moon but... when you listen to this album filled with Jazz and Latin ambiances, may this celestial body inspire you and fulfill your whimsical musical dreams.

At the height of her art, the composer and jazz pianist Lorraine Desmarais offers a new work that celebrates the estuary of St. Lawrence River, connecting the Great Lakes to the North Atlantic Ocean. Reminiscences of landscapes surveyed and loved, of people met and appreciated feed the movements of the music suite with pictorial accents. Requisitioning the full potential of the piano, an instrument that is at once melodic, harmonic, and percussive, Lorraine Desmarais paints a fresco with an extensive palette, sometimes figurative, sometimes abstract.
