.....we love to fill halls, where people come to listen, as your listening-capacity constitutes the depth of our performance for you.

.....we enjoy a lot to play for small gatherings, like house-concerts for special family or friend-events, where we can play acoustic and we can give you the full spectrum of our instruments and of ourselves.

The latest album of Franois Carrier and Uwe Neumann

This is the first (double) CD by Franois Carrier in Leo Records catalogue. "He is one of Qubec's (and Canada's) essential musical voices, a saxophonist who has combined commitment and discipline with intuition and inspiration to gradually realize an arresting musical vision, one that is compounded of free-jazz traditions and a compellingly personal melodic invention. On Happening, Carrier combines both long-standing and fresh musical partnerships with free improvisation and contrasting tonal systems to reach levels of sometimes startling immediacy" (Stuart Broomer).
