I like the sound of the tenor saxophone, but it’s not always the same when comes the time to listen to the sound of the alto saxophone. I’m more selective. Among the stars players of the alto, there is a musician that I have a real connection. He’s name is Fran\u00e7ois Carrier.<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Carrier was born in 1961 in Chicoutimi in Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean. He’s career had started in the beautiful city of Vancouver (British-Columbia). Living now in Montreal, Carrier also made an halt in London, time to create a professional network. In July 2013, he entered in the short and prestigious list of the Downbeat magazine at the time of the 78e Reader Poll for best alto saxophone player.<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Carrier push the musical borders towards new territories. Respected by his colleague, Carrier is a source of inspiration. For his regular projects, Carrier is surrounded regularly of Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois players (Michel Lambert, Pierre C\u00f4t\u00e9) . For some special projects, he works sometimes with international players (Alexey Lapin, Dewey Redman, Bobo Stenson, etc)<\/p>\n

On his Web site, Carrier defines his music as \u201cMelodic Abstract Music\u201d. To appreciate and understand his music, receptivity and open state of mind are required. Carrier composes and plays his music like a heartfelt cry. His musical approach is authentic. We can make a direct link with the music of Ornette Coleman and the last period of John Coltrane. Since 1998, Carrier published more than twenty albums as a leader.<\/p>\n

Here the presentation available in Bandcamp about the Russian Concerts\u00a0:<\/p>\n

The Russian Concerts from this unique Trio to come out on FMR Records this year. The music, entirely improvised by Fran\u00e7ois Carrier, Michel Lambert and Alexey Lapin, was recorded during a series of several concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg in April 2013. The Volume 1 showcases four outstanding collective improvisations from their appearances at DOM Cultural Center and at the Nikitskaya Jewish Cultural Center in Moscow. The Volume 2 features 8 outstanding pieces Recorded live at Nikitskaya Jewish Cultural Center (JCC) in Moscow on April 28, 2013 and at ESG-21 (Experimental Sound Gallery) in St. Petersburg on April 29, 2013.<\/em><\/p>\n

The music strives to slip mundane bonds, to shoot skyward, to transgress gravity\u2019s hold and a communion with the firmament. These three architects of spontaneous sound have no interest in permanence or in personal glory but more in the act of striving, of attempting to scale the sky and touch the untouchable. This is why they build these sonic temples with their bare souls.<\/em><\/p>\n

Very soon, Carrier will offer two new albums on FMR (the U.K.) and Not Two Records! Moreover, he will carry out an important European tour from May 20th to June 6th, 2015. For more details, consult the topic \u201cConcerts\u201d on his Web site.<\/p>\n

J’aime le son du saxophone t\u00e9nor, mais je suis plus s\u00e9lectif lorsque vient le temps d’\u00e9couter le son du saxophone alto. Je n’\u00e9coute pas n’importe qui. Pour que cet instrument me fasse vibrer, je consulte une courte liste de musiciens. Parmi cette liste, il y a un musicien avec qui j’ai une connexion instantan\u00e9e, une foi in\u00e9branlable. C’est par un heureux hasard qu’un jour, je me suis achet\u00e9 un album du saxophoniste alto Fran\u00e7ois Carrier. Je n’ai jamais regrett\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Carrier est n\u00e9 en 1961 \u00e0 Chicoutimi au Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean. Sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle d\u00e9buta dans la magnifique ville de Vancouver en Colombie-Britannique. Install\u00e9 maintenant \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, Carrier a aussi fait une halte \u00e0 Londres, le temps de se cr\u00e9er un r\u00e9seau professionnel. En juillet 2013, il entrait dans la courte liste prestigieuse du magazine Downbeat lors du 78e Reader Poll comme meilleur saxophoniste alto. Il s’agit d’une gratification importante \u00e0 ne pas n\u00e9gliger.<\/p>\n

Musicien cosmopolite, le saxophoniste alto Fran\u00e7ois Carrier est de la race des coriaces, de ceux qui poussent les fronti\u00e8res musicales vers de nouveaux territoires. Respect\u00e9 par ses pairs, Carrier est une source d’inspiration intarissable. Pour ses projets r\u00e9guliers, Carrier s’entoure r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement de musiciens qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. Pour des projets sp\u00e9ciaux, il sollicite \u00e0 l’occasion des musiciens de la sc\u00e8ne internationale.<\/p>\n

Cet illustre musicien n’a pas choisi le chemin de la facilit\u00e9 en adoptant comme style musical celui de la musique improvis\u00e9e (de haute voltige). Sur son site Web, ce musicien d\u00e9finit sa musique comme \u00abMelodic Abstract Music\u00bb. Pour appr\u00e9cier et comprendre sa musique, la r\u00e9ceptivit\u00e9 et l’\u00e9tat d’esprit ouvert sont exig\u00e9s. Il n’est pas question ici de s’isoler dans un cercle \u00e9litiste, mais seulement de faire l’effort d’\u00e9couter.<\/p>\n

Carrier compose et joue sa musique comme un cri du c\u0153ur. Sa d\u00e9marche musicale est authentique. Elle est en lien directe avec la musique d’Ornette Coleman et de la derni\u00e8re p\u00e9riode de John Coltrane. Dans le cercle avant-gardiste, Carrier est une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence incontournable. Depuis 1998, Carrier a publi\u00e9 plus de vingt albums en tant que leader.<\/p>\n

En avril 2013, Carrier donnait plusieurs concerts \u00e0 Moscou et \u00e0 Saint P\u00e9tersbourg. En 2014, il nous pr\u00e9sentait les deux volumes de ses enregistrements \u00ablive\u00bb intitul\u00e9s \u00abThe Russian Concerts\u00bb disponibles pr\u00e9sentement sur bandcamp. Accompagn\u00e9 du pianiste Alexey Lapin et du batteur Michel Lambert, Carrier souffle avec vigueur devant un public tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ceptif. Si Coleman et Coltrane nous ont amen\u00e9 parfois dans des tourbillons sonores \u00e9tourdissants, Carrier arrive \u00e0 suivre les m\u00eames chemins sinueux, mais sans aucune agressivit\u00e9. Il plane dans les hauts sommets du firmament.<\/p>\n

Tr\u00e8s prochainement, ce musicien prolifique nous offrira deux nouveaux albums sur FMR (UK) et Not Two Records.! De plus, il effectuera une importante tourn\u00e9e europ\u00e9enne qui se d\u00e9roulera du 20 mai au 6 juin 2015.
