Ariane Racicot: Danser Avec Le Feu

You may not have heard of pianist and composer Arian Racicot, but the Canadian has gotten attention in her own country, wining the Revelation Radio-Canada Prize for jazz back in 2022-23. Here, she trios up with Antoine Rochefort/eb and Guillaume Picard/dr for a collection of thoughtful originals. Her fingers do an askance dance on the whimsical dots and dashes of  “Going For A Walk” while evoking impressions on the supple “Avant La Tempete” . She lets Rochefort get the spotlight on a dark “I Have Doubts” while she gets artsy with him on the dance of “Chez-mi”. Picard hits hard, but Racicot keeps up on “Dancing with Fire” while the two go subtle on the pretty “There Is Some Home” before Racicot closes things up on a dainty solo outing “Apres La Tempete”.
