{"product_id":"all-alba-2","title":"All Alba","description":"Alto saxophonist François Carrier has put together a compelling group of original compositions for this studio meeting with pianist Uri Caine, bassist Pierre Côté, and drummer Michel Lambert. The intriguing opener, \"Karuna,\" never follows a predictable path, always conveying an air of mystery in a blend of post-bop and avant-garde. Lambert introduces \"Entrance 3\" with a furious solo, with a delayed entrance by Carrier and Caine playing in unison in a insistent military cadence before the piece takes flight into pure improvisation. Both \"Enfants de Ciel\" (with Carrier strongly suggesting the influence of John Coltrane) and \"Jeu\" (built upon a series of strident exchanges between the musicians) were improvised on the spot. The title of the tense \"As Crazy As\" may suggests schizophrenia, but the quartet's seeming chaos has a method to its madness. This is superb music by advanced musicians who refuse to settle for the status quo.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e-Ken Dryden","brand":"François Carrier","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":39512794857632,"sku":"0068944017652","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":39513721503904,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/8477\/2768\/products\/275a4b31-fd11-4bf3-a383-ccbbee3e700f13132145793438240258-LARGE_c8dd885f-da19-4914-9f02-d11eb5d3e5cc.jpg?v=1616126758","url":"https:\/\/justin-time-records.myshopify.com\/products\/all-alba-2","provider":"Justin Time Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
