“The big band, the favoured format of the 30s, has certainly continued to make waves in the various jazz trends that favour smaller groups. What’s more, it has continued to play a role in the evolution of jazz composition through increasingly daring sound experiments. This recording provides new proof of this! Beautiful compositions, efficient- ly arranged, showcase the new generation of inspired and inspiring soloists, under the direction of the project’s initiator Michel Paré. Clearly, despite what some think, the big band has lost none of its nobility!”
