Smart thinking to gather selected composers who, in the Gershwin tradition, created a musical style on the border between jazz and classical, all the more so since the clarinet and the piano, polymorphous and adaptable instruments, lend themselves well to this mix. André Moisan and Jean Saulnier interpret this program that is somewhere between a rock and a hard place with great energy and a solid musical sense. There is a charming tribute to Gershwin composed by Bélà Kovács, some classical pieces bordering on jazz (Joseph Horowitz, Robert Muczynski, Mike Mower) as well as one from a jazz musician—Paquito D’Rivera—bordering on the classical! Daniel Mercure’s wonderful piece of gentle melancholy and heightened sensitivity should also be highlighted. These wonderful works, little known, yet very interesting when interpreted by these bright musicians, provide an infectious listening pleasure. © 2012 La Scena Musicle
