Double Bill:
François Houle - solo (Vancouver)
The Los Angeles Times calls François Houle “a spectacularly versatile clarinetist who appears to have no limitations stylistically or sonically.” Last spring, the music of this Vancouver-based virtuoso took him to Stockholm, Paris, London, and several Italian festivals. Now Guelph audiences have the opportunity to hear this delightful instrumentalist in a range of settings. After early studies at McGill and Yale, in London in the 1980s Houle discovered the music of soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy, and was soon hooked on what he calls “jazz performance that rivalled the finest chamber music making.” Houle’s solo repertoire exploits both the mellowness of his instrument’s chalumeau range and the explosiveness of its soaring upper register, in a recital distinguished for its warmth, good humour, and sheer imagination.
Stream Quartet (Toronto / Ottawa)
To celebrate his return to full-time performing, Toronto baritone saxophonist David Mott got together a group of old friends who had never played before in this particular configuration: Peter Lutek on woodwinds, Justin Gray on acoustic bass, and Jesse Stewart on percussion. Together for the first time, the four musicians experienced “an uncanny musical communication and the arising of a music which has transcendent qualities.” The quartet takes improvised music into very special areas, especially when Justin Gray plays his self-designed bass veena, a unique adaptation of an Indian instrument with resonating sympathetic strings. Each member of the Stream Quartet has achieved a notable profile as a solo improviser, but when they play together, the quartet produces a near-symphonic texture.
