8 Rue de l’Hotel de Ville composed by François Bourassa
Quebec pianist François Bourassa discusses the inspiration for the title of his new recording, « Number 9 ». A noted composer, improviser and pianist, Bourassa stretches the boundaries of jazz in an original oeuvre that is both free, and highly detailed in its conception. Bourassa is widely regarded as a principal mentor in the Montreal music community, inspiring countless musicians with his rich blend of European classical harmony and an imaginative approach to the piano. He perhaps best embodies the Francophone jazz scene in Quebec.
