Québéc’s collaboration-happy chamber jazz experimentalists Brûlez les meubles‘ fifth album, Folio #5, is an LP, CD and digital jointly released by Circum-Disc and Tour De Bras. Spearheaded by Éric Normand (bass) and Louis Beaudoin-de la Sablonnière (guitar), the duo’s previous outing featured partnerships with acclaimed guest artists Jean Derome and John Hollenbeck. Meanwhile, this new album sees them inviting lauded improviser-composers Ingrid Laubrock (saxophone) and Marianne Trudel (piano) into the fold, while bringing back alumnus Jonathan Huard (vibraphone). And while they’ve never shied away from texture, there’s a newfound atmospheric quality here on account of it being their first release without drums. Yet, there’s also power and cohesion in these mirage-like pieces, no doubt a result of the potent ensemble chemistry heard here.
