| | tnzr051 : le quatuor de jazz libre du québec, 1973
(180 gram vinyl records – limited edition of 300)
recorded in 1973, this long-lost session from quebec's first free jazz ensemble is both politically-charged and sonically enthralling. this is avant-garde jazz at its most potent.
formed in 1967, the quatuor de jazz libre du québec (qjlq) was a force to be reckoned with in post-quiet revolution quebec. between 1967 and 1970, the qjlq shared the stage with artists such as louise forestier, robert charlebois and l’infonie. it promoted improvised music as a means of bringing about real social and cultural changes in quebec. in 1970, the qjlq established a colonie artistique in val-david. it also acquired land – the petit québec libre – in an effort to offer artists and political activists a communal place to exchange ideas.
from 1970 onward, quebec’s only free jazz ensemble turned to contemporary avant-garde music for further inspiration. as the decade unfolded, the qjlq became more radical both musically and politically. tenzier’s new release constitutes a rare opportunity to hear the quartet at its most potent.
