Thus the creation of the "Québec Jazz", he set up bold projects, unpublished to open structures dating, clever shifts that have crossed Canada, Europe, USA and Asia.The last project "Quebec jazz" has been presented at the Jazz at the Lincoln Center in New York in collaboration with Yves Léveillé Productions, l'Auguste quartet and Donny McCaslin on saxophones like special guest. Other "Québec Jazz Connexion" concerts are planned in Europe in the fall of 2024 and 2025.
After having played "Circum Continuum" on several continents from 2016 to 2019, the Auguste quartet returns with a new opus that brews the readings of time, contrasts and atmospheres as sound climates. With "Exalta calma", Auguste invites us to superimpose two entities that could suggest an invariable distance that animates the interior of a painting, a person and / or even a sound. The music of the quartet does not show up to the excitement of speed, but the shivers and the elasticity of the sentences that with the arrival of saxophonist Mario Allard, boiling of life, energy and exultation.
The Auguste quartet is still playing music from the "Exalta Calma" album this season 2024.
