Emie R Roussel Trio - Quantum (2015) [Official Digital Download]

The Emie R Roussel Trio calls on a metaphor from the world of physics to describe the ensemble and this album: a quantum is the smallest indivisible unit, while the Montréal-based trio is composed of three individuals with similarities and differences, joining together to create a unique and indivisible core. To further the simile, the nine pieces and four interludes on this album act like atoms, simple individual elements uniting and combining with each other to form a whole, a complete experience. Drawing more than ever upon the creativity and cohesion of all three members, this very personal opus is marked both by the group’s singular acoustic sound and a more pronounced groove colour.
