Supernova 4 at Sunset-Sunside

In thousand years, only three supernovas have been observed by the naked eye in the Milky Way. Chances that you’ll ever witness one of these titanic stellar explosions are therefore extremely small. So, don’t miss out on SuperNova 4! The veterans Jean Derome (saxophones & flute), Félix Stüssi (piano), Normand Guilbeault (double bass) and Pierre Tanguay (drums) approach their art with the confidence of a tightrope walker that has a security net. There is no fear of taking risks because each one of them knows that he can count on his band-mates to prevent any fall into the void. No wonder there is such a high degree of spontaneity in this group. The compositions are deeply rooted in the jazz and blues tradition, but at the same time turned towards the future and the cosmos. And there is a solid dose of contagious optimism that underlies everything...

Seulement trois fois en mille ans, des supernovas ont pu être observées à l’œil nu dans la Voie Lactée. Les chances que vous soyez un jour éblouis par une de ces explosions stellaires sont donc très minces. Alors, ne manquez SuperNova 4! Le vétérans Jean Derome (saxophones et flûte), Félix Stüssi (piano), Normand Guilbeault (contrebasse) et Pierre Tanguay (batterie) approche leur art avec la confiance d'un funambule qui a un filet de sécurité. Personne n'a peur de prendre des risques, chacun peut compter sur les autres pour prévenir des chutes dans le vide. Le degré de spontanéité est donc très élevé. Les compositions du group sont profondément enracinées dans les traditions du jazz et du blues, mais elles sont en même temps ouvertes sur le futur et le cosmos. Et le tout est soutenu par une bonne dose d'optimisme.
