François Bourassa - L'impact du silence (2021) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

Montreal’s François Bourassa has led a jazz quartet for some twenty-five years as well as performed and recorded albums for trio, string quartet and even symphony orchestra. However, this piano and composing master had never recorded a completely solo piano album until now. L’impact du Silence is a set of fresh originals absorbing the influence of both traditional and contemporary music forms.

A video for “Blues Masqué” is debuting above, nakedly revealing Bourassa’s flair for thoughtful composition, a piece which is set to a murky but complicated mood.

Composed during the solitude brought about by the current pandemic, “Blues Masqué” is through-composed, a bit of a divergence from a usual composing style that allows for improvisation. But looked at in another way, the structure gives Bourassa an outlet for indulging his appreciation for early 20th century classical composers.

And solo François Bourassa is, in turn, a fine way to indulge in the art of this celebrated Canadian pianist.
