MUsique de Thelonious Monk (Ambiances Mangnetiques, 1993) and
Live A La Casa (Ambiances Mangnetiques, 2000) are Evidence's tributes to
Thelonious Monk.
Pierre Tanguay on drums and Pierre Cartier on bass have become top jazz
performers.
Jean Derome, a cofounder of the Ambiances Magnetiques record label,
has a busy life promoting, performing and composing music around Canada.
His style can easily shift from classical to jazz, from rock to avantgarde.
Derome has written theatre and dance scores, has
collaborated with Rene` Lussier on
Fin Du Travail (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1983) and
Le Tresor De La Langue (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1989).
He also played in Conventum, with Lussier and others, whose work is collected on
RE-Edition 1979-80 (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1986).
Another group was Les Granules (again with Lussier), whose albums were
Soyez Vigilants, Restez Vivants (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1986),
Le Retour Des Granules (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1988),
Au Royaume Du Silencieux (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1992).
Confitures De Gagaku (Victo, 1988) was the first album released
under his own name.
In the 1990s, Jean Derome formed Dangereux Zhoms
(keyboards, trombone, guitar, bass and drums),
a group that released
Carnets De Voyage (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1995),
Navre` (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1996),
and
Torticolis (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998), later collected in the
three-CD boxset 1994-96 (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998).
Navre` is possibly the most accomplished.
Navre and Toronto flow naturally and seamlessly, without
a main theme to hold them together.
Anchive, Casse-cou and Train are exercises on odd timbres
of the lead instruments.
Three Suite Piece (Recommended, 1996) is a collaboration
with Tom Cora, Rene` Lussier and Chris Cutler.
Derome's solo albums include
Je Me Souviens (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1997),
Nous Percons Les Oreilles (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998), for two
voices and two saxophones,
Plinc! Plonc! (Ambiances Magnetiques, 2001) and
Le Magasin Du Tissu (Ambiances Magnetiques, 2002).
La Bete/ The Beast Within (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1997) and
the double album 3 Musiques Pour Ubu (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998)
collects scores composed for dance and theatre over the years.
The Trio that released
10 Compositions (Ambiances Magnetiques, 2004), comprising
Normand Guilbeault on bass and Pierre Tanguay on drums, is Derome's most
explicit jazz effort.

MUsique de Thelonious Monk (Ambiances
Mangnetiques,
1993) e Live A La Casa (Ambiances Mangnetiques, 2000) sono
tributi
degli Evidence a Thelonious Monk. Pierre Tanguay alla batteria e
Pierre Cartier
al basso sono diventati eccellenti performers jazz.
Jean Derome, cofondatore dell'etichetta discografica Ambiances
Magnetiques,
passa la vita a promuvere, suonare e comporre musica in tutto il
Canada. Il
suo stile si libra con leggerezza dalla classica al jazz, dal rock
all'avanguardia.
Derome ha scrittop musica per teatro e per balletti, ha collaborato
con René
Lussier su Fin Du Travail (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1983) e
Le
Tresor De La Langue (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1989).
Ha anche suonato nei Conventum, con lo stesso Lussier ed altri, i
cui lavori
sono raccolti in RE-Edition 1979-80 (Ambiances Magnetiques,
1986).
Un altro gruppo era Les Granules (ancora con Lussier), i cui album
erano
Soyez Vigilants, Restez Vivants (Ambiances Magnetiques,
1986), Le
Retour Des Granules (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1988), Au Royaume
Du Silencieux
(Ambiances Magnetiques, 1992).
Confitures De Gagaku (Victo, 1988) è stato il primo
album
che ha realizzato a suo nome.
Negli anni '90, Jean Derome forma i Dangereux Zhoms (tastiere,
trombone,
chitarra, basso e batteria), che realizzaono Carnets De
Voyage (Ambiances
Magnetiques, 1995), Navré (Ambiances Magnetiques,
1996), e Torticolis
(Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998), poi raccolti nel triplo CD boxset
1994-96
(Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998). Navré il meglio
riuscito. Navre
e Toronto preseguono naturalmente e senza cuciture, senza un
tema principale
che li tenza insieme. Anchive, Casse-cou e
Train sono
esercizi sui trimbri strani degli strumenti solisti.
Three Suite Piece (Recommended, 1996) è una
collaborazione
con Tom Cora, René Lussier e Chris Cutler.
La discografia solista di Derome include Je Me Souviens
(Ambiances
Magnetiques, 1997), Nous Percons Les Oreilles (Ambiances
Magnetiques,
1998), per due voci e due sassofoni, Plinc! Plonc! (Ambiances
Magnetiques,
2001) e Le Magasin Du Tissu (Ambiances Magnetiques, 2002).
La Bete/ The Beast Within (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1997) e
il doppio
album 3 Musiques Pour Ubu (Ambiances Magnetiques, 1998)
raccoglie pezzi
composti per il balletto e il teatro nel corso degli anni.
