SuperNova 4 – the first self-titled album of this quartet of Québécois jazz-stars has been praised on both sides of the Atlantic. Their new release is at least as original and surprising: Unicum! Buckle-up, put on your helmets and step into this supersonic rocket which will carry you to musical galaxies yet to be discovered!
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, bright stellar explosions are therefore extremely small. So, don’t miss out on the unique occasion to catch SuperNova 4 on their debut album, as Jean Derome (alto & baritone sax & flute), Félix Stüssi (piano), Normand Guilbeault (double bass) and Pierre Tanguay (drums) invite you to a luminous trip through their musical galaxies!
SuperNova 4 presents a brand-new repertoire of original compositions that are deeply rooted in the jazz and blues traditions, but at same time turned towards the future and wide open to cosmic influences. The resulting music is at once intense and captivating, sweet and fragile, full of humor, but always fresh and authentic.
In choosing to record live, the four musicians are like tightrope walkers performing without a security net. This approach is in perfect harmony with the high degree of musical spontaneity of the group.
The music of SuperNova 4 goes straight to the heart. Whether you are Bonobo or rather "Urubu", to cite two of the titles of the new repertoire, this musical adventure won’t leave you cold!
