4+1

Territory represented: international

4+1 is a most simple formula to signal that an additional voice teams with the renowned Rémi Bolduc Quartet, a tenor sax voice. This program conveys the intuitive partnership, startling complementarity and constant virtuosity of the musicians. It’s jazz at its best! The 4+1 album, released by Effendi, was a finalist for Jazz Record of the year at both the ADISQ and Opus 2008 awards ceremonies.
