10:00 PM | JAM SESSION ANIMé PAR ALEX BELLEGARDE
Alex Bellegarde’s
dynamic Tuesday jam session has become one of Montreal’s hippest weekly
jazz events. The first set fires up with Bellegarde and his trio,
playing host to a range of well known talents from the Montreal scene
as well as musicians from out of town. The jam opens in the second
set, to any jazz musician with the confidence to step up and play…
there’s an unspoken rule though: “If you can’t keep up, you shouldn’t
be on stage”. A great place to play and chill…. the jam continues on
into the early hours!

09:30 PM | MARIO ALLARD QUINTET
C’est dans le cadre du cours de Combo Jazz à l’Université McGill
queMario, Jean-François et Alex unissent leurs forces pour la
premièrefois. Une fois sortis de l’école, une idée leur vint à l’esprit
:“Qu’arrive-t-il si l’on élimine les instruments harmoniques (ex:
piano,guitare) du groupe ?” La réponse : une liberté totale
dansl’improvisation, la possibilité de pousser les limites du rhytme et
dela mélodie hors des sentiers battus et la découverte d’une
toutenouvelle approche de l’harmonie traditionnelle jazz. Le MAQ étaitné!
Après plusieurs prestations et une participation à la premièreédition
du concours Jazz en Rafale en 2006, le groupe était prêt àentamer la
plus récente page de son histoire. On ajoute un trompettiste(David
Carbonneau) à l’orchestration existante, et un nouveau batteur(Alain
Bourgeois) vient remplacer l’ancien. La formule était gagnante !Grâce à
une participation au projet JeunesVolontaires, le groupe nousarrive
avec un nouvel album éponyme, constitué exclusivement denouveaux opus
et avec une énergie et une fougue qui a su charmerl’auditoire tant à
Montréal qu’en tournée.
