JOHN-SLEETH PARKDominique Poirier Quartet
2024-08-24 11:00 - 13:00 | John Sleeth Park, 7 Academy, Sutton, Québec, J0E 2K0, Canada
Curious and bursting with creativity, multi-instrumentalist Dominique Poirier grew up in Oka, where he began playing the piano at the age of six, before turning to guitar lessons. As a teenager, his passion for blues and jazz led him to pursue guitar studies at the Cégep de Saint-Laurent. He perfected his mastery of the instrument and developed a love of composition.
His musical explorations fortify his penchant for live performance. As a composer and performer, he tours with a variety of jazz and popular music projects.
Having always had an affinity with the accordion, it was in 2018 that he embraced the instrument more seriously. It was love at first sight. The accordion enables him to play melodies, improvise and accompany simultaneously. He was fascinated by the instrument’s versatility and its presence in so many styles of music. Jazz, classical, folklore. He is currently studying jazz accordion at Concordia University.

SUTTON LEGION PARKSuperNova 4
2024-08-24 16:00 - 18:00 | Sutton Legion Park, 2, Curley St., Sutton, QC, J0E 2K0, Canada
SuperNova 4 – the eponymous first opus from this quartet of Quebec jazz stars was acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic. Here’s the follow-up, just as original and surprising.
“UNICUM!” cried the Hungarian Emperor Joseph II in 1790, when his physician Dr. Zwack gave him a taste of his bitter herbal liqueur as a remedy for imperial intestinal cramps. The album’s title track was composed in 2019 at the Budapest Music Center during a tour with the Jazzlab Orchestra. Félix Stüssi was surprised to discover a grand piano in his bedroom. The piece is also a tribute to the late Hungarian-born Montreal musician, composer and big band leader Vic Vogel.
Félix Stüssi dedicates Blues turquoises to the memory of his friend and radio host Colette Coco Schryburt, who passed away in June 2023.
Dear listeners, be warned: UNICUM was recorded live without a safety net. You will therefore witness explosions of spontaneity and unreserved improvisation, which could alter your chaste and docile eardrums forever.
So fasten your seatbelts, put on your headphones and get on board this new supersonic rocket that will take you to unsuspected musical galaxies!

JOHN-SLEETH PARKEstuary Trio
2024-08-31 11:00 - 13:00 | John Sleeth Park, 7 Academy, Sutton, Québec, J0E 2K0, Canada
“Estuaire” is an intimate musical exchange between the voice of Judette Elliston (NYC) and the piano of PJ Fossum (Copenhagen). The result of their collaboration is a spellbinding music that envelops the listener in rich harmonies and floating melodies. After meeting as music students in New York City, Elliston and Fossum created “Estuaire” to explore the symbiosis and reciprocity inherent in the piano-voice relationship. Drawing inspiration from Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon and Billy Strayhorn, they exchange heartfelt melodies and improvisation in a unified whole.
Joining “Estuaire” on their Quebec tour, Sébastien Bachand met the duo in New York City. As a double bassist, his background in jazz and his interest in folk music led him to explore combining the two styles into a common sound. “Estuaire” seems the perfect context in which to explore these colors.

Since then, Alex LeBlanc and his Orchestra have received rave reviews from ”Radio-Canada” and ”ICI Musique”, and were shortlisted for the Grand Prix Jazz TD at the 2019 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. In 2022, they launch a brand new opus entitled ”Musique pour jeunes fous”.
