Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Nozen is at the crossroads of contemporary jazz, musique actuelle and the musical traditions of Jewish Eastern Europe, and this meeting of contrasting styles gives birth to a music at once spontaneous and deep. Tanguay, Falaise and Mailloux, three of the most active musicians on the jazz and msusique actuelle scene in Quebec, joined the composer and multi-saxophonist from Argentina Damian Nisenson, and together they offer us their first CD, recorded live, an invitation to travel between two worlds: the melodies inspired of a vanished past, enveloped in a very contemporary sound."-Malasartes

Bernard Falaise was born in Montréal, where he currently lives.

He has written for the Ensemble contemporain de Montréal (ECM), Quartango and the Isis Quartet, and has created music for exhibitions, television, the theatre and dance. Allergic to labels, Falaise explores acid rock, twelve-tone waltzes and industrial tangos with equal enthusiasm."
