Patricia Deslauriers Trio: Local trio from Montreal consisting of Patricia Deslauriers on accoustic bass with Guy St-Onge on piano and Paul Brochu on drums. She is a well known local basist with a low key demeanor. Guy St-Onge (her husband) owns a recording studio and has collaborated with Michel Legrand and David Bowie in the past. Paul Brochu is well known in Canada as the drummer for UZEB, a Jazz Fusion group. The album is a nice mellow well recorded trio CD, an adaptation of music by a local composer Richard Desjardins.

Richard Desjardins; I like very much so. ...One of our best songwriter/singer/pianist musician/poets from Quebec.
...And much more. ...A naturalist, an ecologist, a forest protector and planet defender/activist... A perfect human being*.

Man, you live in BC but appear well atuned to what's going on in Quebec. If everybody took a minute like you to see what's going on on the other side of the country there would not be any language issues in Canada. BTW where were you born? you said close to Montreal but never said where.

Patricia is a sweet soul, I saw her the first time she presented that album at the Montreal Jazz Fest. It was an emotional moment for her and she was crying of happiness at times, kind of moment you are happy to be part of. A few videos of that concert:

That video was recorded in Guy St-Onge's studio north of Montreal, it's called Tu m'aimes tu (Do You Love Me)

Video in French documenting her with some caption of the concert (interesting to note that I had my 2 seconds of fame as I am in the video :D, as a spectator of course)

Northstar: I did see you pictures of the metal sculpture with the Quebec flag, too funny!
 
I was born in Joliette, Quebec; near The Laurentides; forty miles north-east of Montreal. I am a pure Quebecois/French/Canadian people.

D'un ocean a l'autre

I'm from the East (Quebec), and now live on the West coast (Vancouver Island), British Columbia; for almost forty years.

My blood and heart is French Quebecois/Irish/Indian (almost twenty years living there), my spirit is Canadian, and my soul is continental/universal.
And of course I am perfect bilingual. ...And I can get along in the South too (USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, ...).

Dan, your two posts just above; right on! :)

...Close to where one of my sisters (Sophie) live (Laurentides), and on the way to one of my brothers (Frank).

* I took that picture(s) about three years ago.
Another sister (Josee) lives down the mountains, closer to Montreal. And another brother (Claude) lives nearer Quebec City, but in the countryside, up the mountains.

Quebec is full of lovely countrysides, and people, and food, and love. ...It's the province of the artists, all types.
British Columbia is the province of the majestic forests, the Pacific ocean, and gorgeous vistas (including women). ...Everywhere, from North to South, and East to West, and all across the entire country: Canada.

Where else better could you be born! :)

'Bout you Dan?

P.S. Mon nom c'est Robert (Bob).

Love everything Gustavsen does, solo, trio ensemble. If I had to chose I would go with The Well. Saw him a couple of years ago at the Montreal Jazz Fest, very nice concert.

Born and raised in Montreal, currently living in the West Island.

Both my parents were born in the Joliette area so I know it well, actually I was there on Wednesday for business. Father was born in St-Michel des Saints and mom in St-Alphonse de Rodriguez. I'm from Acadian and Irish ancestry, mostly Acadian.

I love Quebec and would not want to be anywhere else, but man I can't wait for the end of this sterile language and culture debate we are into!

Oh man...are they at it again? Living in Florida, we don't get that news. Are they using the "S" word again? Is it as bad as the 1970's and Rene Levesque and his band of cronies?

Yup, they are using a different strategy now. They can't get Quebec to seperate from Canada since the population does not want to, hence they are trying to alienate the rest of Canada so they can tell Quebequers that they are not wanted by the rest of Canada. How lame! Funny thing though is that the PQ government is a minority and the safisfaction rate according to polls is at a meagher 30%. BTW in case you are wondering I'm a Francophone!

BTW Mike I love your current avatar, may I ask who she is? May I had hopefully for you it's your wife :exciting:

Dan, we both know very well the same places near Montreal and further north.

And even if I live in British Columbia now for all these years, I am 100% in touch with everything QUEBEC related.
...And in ALL aspects of it. ...Political, economic, artistic, ecologic, sociological, and all that Quebecois jazz.
It's nice to have a close neighbor like you here. ...And we both like very much all the jazz artists from the ECM record label; from which the artists are all universal; coming from everywhere in the whole world.

* Music is an evolution, and several plateaus are to be conquered after extensive "escalades".
It is a natural; it comes with the experience and the territory. And to be there is to be here.

You are right, we do lead parrallel realities in different parts of the continent.

BTW you can replace the word "music" with "life" in your previous enunciation and it would fit perferctly. To me music is the essence of life!


Ok now back to the program. Last night at the Montreal Jazz Fest I saw those two free concerts:
