Calgareal: Vanishing Points

The collective team of Aurelien Tomasi/reeds, Mathieu Langlois/sax/flg, Jeremy Gignoux/vi-vn/key, Jiajia Li/fl-pic, Sebastien LeBlanc/g, Hugo Blouin/b and Robin Tufts/dr-perc mix and match ideas that focus on a mix of medieval tones and Irish folk but with a dash of free jazz frivolity. The rich and pastoral guitars and woodwinds create hints of UK-inspired folk on “Cercle” and the almost Gaellic “La Soupe”, while askance directions split up on “Here, There, Now”. A series of “Dialogues” range from reed subtones to drum excursions and stringed instruments arm wrestling for dominance, while “Mood Music” comes across like ambient music for troubadours. Music for jazz clubs or the Renaissance Faire?
