This Trio was formed by Canadian saxophonist François Carrier, drummer Michel Lambert and Russian pianist Alexey Lapin by the suggestion of Leo Feigin (company owner Leo Records, UK). Right after their first Russian tour they released three albums (“In Motion” and “Inner Spire” on LeoRecords and “All Out” on FMR). This Russian Trilogy received wide resonance from Jazz Journalists around the world.

Interesting! There seems to be new phrasing, mixed in with some distorted bursts like Coltrane, with a happy variety of colors and rhythms. And I like the bass, very present in HIS note, giving a tonal foundation for this whirlwind. And Michel, irreplaceable, frankly happy, in a contagious joy. In short, good FREE JAZZ!
