Jean-Michel Leblanc est un multi-instrumentiste (principalement guitariste), arrangeur et compositeur basé à Montréal. En tant que sideman, sa participation aux ensembles de musique expérimentale The Plastic Waste Band, le Teotwawki Guitar Quartet, The Daniil Kharms et Le Jager, en plus de son travail en tant que musicien pigiste, l'ont amené à jouer un peu partout au Québec.

En tant que compositeur, il a conçu et réalisé son premier album “Variétés Narratives” (sorti en janvier 2020), présentant une musique pour quintette de jazz inspirée des diverses structures narratives mises de l’avant en cinématographie moderne. Son œuvre avec le collectif de jazz actuel Le Jager fut également reconnue par plusieurs médias québécois, tel que Radio-Canada et sortiejazznights, pour sa force et son originalité.

En tant que guitariste en solo, Jean-Michel a enregistré et publié trois simples, dont une reprise de la mythique Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 de Chopin.Son plus récent projet, l’album “Intriqué” (sortie en novembre 2022), peint un méticuleux portrait des contraires musicaux, via quatre pièces instrumentales et quatre pièces chantées en français, qui présentent des paysages sonores aussi accessibles que complexes. Le sauvage mélange d’esthétiques musicales y étant présenté, passant du jazz contemporain au hard-rock, du pop à la musique de film, saura simultanément plaire et défier l’auditeur.

Portes : 18h
Spectacle : 20h

"Who Would Hold You If The Sky Betrayed Us” is a versatile project with many artistic arms imagined and created by the Montreal band Thus Owls. It’s a residency, an art exchange, a conversation, a performance, an interactive music installation and a record. Founded in Stockholm, based in Montreal, Thus Owls is the ongoing creative project of the Swedish Canadian couple Erika Angell and Simon Angell. They returned in March 2022 with an expansive and audacious new double-album also called” Who Would Hold You If The Sky Betrayed Us”. It is a saxophone-studded journey and an explosion of improv, poetry, and visionary rock'n'roll that seeks to understand what it means to be—and belong. The live presentation of their newest music is as always ever morphing, their goal being to invent a startling, aggressive new musical language—one which reflects their dream of a vivid, interwoven sound, while forging a sensorially layered and inclusive environment, a twilight zone where music, poetry, conversation, and improvisation offers a space for exchange, not only between performer and audience but also between audience members. Collaborative artists for the performance will be drummer Samuel Joly and saxophonists Claire Devlin, Jason Sharp and Adam Kinner.

Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Claire Devlin is now a Montreal-based saxophonist and composer. She has a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Jazz Performance from McGill University. Claire is a member of several ensembles, including the Canadian National Jazz Orchestra, the Sarah Rossy Chamber Ensemble, the Plastic Waste Band, Acorn Hat, and Jean-Michel Leblanc’s Variétés Narratives, and she performs regularly with the Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal, Rommel Ribeiro, Thus Owls, and the Equal Jazz Orchestra.

Formed in 2016, the Claire Devlin Quartet unites four unique musical voices from the Montreal jazz scene. Lyrical melodies are paired with driving rhythms, and the traditional roles of each instrument are often left behind. The quartet’s repertoire of original music strikes a balance of intricate through-composition and completely open-ended improvisation. In July 2020, the Claire Devlin Quartet released their debut album, “Anyone”, on Florafone Records. The group features Roman Munoz (guitar), Mathieu McConnell-Enright (bass), and John Buck (drums).
