O’s Notes: Number 9 is Bourassa’s ninth release as a leader again including all-original music. Franois’s quartet includes Greg Ritchie (d), André Leroux (reeds), and Guy Boisvert (b). “Frozen” and “Lostage” are a bit on the dark side and there are a couple of intriguing tunes like “11 Benigns”. We preferred the more accessible modern jazz tracks featuring Bourassa’s energetic and exacting work on piano, especially “Carla Und Karlheinz” and “5 and Less”.
