Confluence by Philippe Côté, François Bourassa
Like the confluence that occurs when two streams join to become a single river, multireedist Philippe Côté and pianist François Bourassa have united to record the duo album Confluence, with Côté’s titular five-movement suite as a focal point. What we hear is a unique musical universe with improvisation at the forefront. Inspired by jazz and contemporary classical music, the Montreal-based duo presents compositions that are at once mysterious, emotive and accessible.
