- les projectionnistes: vue
(2005, cd, Canada, rif rif)
Released in 2005, "Vue" was the second album by Les Projectionnistes.
The 12 tracks, all composed by band leader and trombone player Claude St-Jean, display a zappa-esque Wazoo vibe.
Beautiful !!
Out on CD, and through Bandcamp.
The Bandcamp page adds:
In the musical vignettes of Les Projectionnistes you will hear many divergent strains: St-Jean’s love of brass bands (as most clearly displayed in L’Orkestre des Pas Perdus) and film soundtracks (noir atmospheres and frenetic chase scenes included), but also modal jazz, Raymond Scott-styled eccentric cartoonishness, scorching Hendrixian guitar rock, avant-garde textures, tight funk horn riffing, some Hammond B3 flavors, a Latin tinge, and maybe even a bit of punk for good measure. But “Vue” is no random pastiche of sounds thrown together willy-nilly; rather, it’s another example of St-Jean’s ability to unite. Les Projectionnistes merge all of the aforementioned influences and more together into a unique and singular sound, one that seems utterly familiar because you have heard these stylistic antecedents before, but never combined together in quite the same way.
