about

"Souvenir d’une soirée inoubliable qui a littéralement changé ma vie."
— Stanley Péan, Radio-Canada

"Jazz got the memo about diversity a long time ago, and 2023’s best Canadian jazz recordings span the gamut from roaring, contemporary big bands to intimate ballad duets. From hard-swinging small ensembles to genre-defying projects that mash-up jazz, folk and chamber music in the most agreeable way.

BEST LARGE ENSEMBLE ALBUM: Fortunately the Sept. 14, 2019 concert that l’Orchestre national de jazz de Montréal gave was recorded. The engineers caught lightning in a bottle, resulting in the album Wayne Shines | Miles Smiles. Arranger and director Jean-Nicolas Trottier crafted dazzling new works based on the 1960s output of his heroes Wayne Shorter and Miles Davis, and the soloists that leap from the fabric of Trottier’s material are all on fire. Look no further for proof of the breadth, depth and seriousness of Montreal’s jazz scene." – Peter Hum, Ottawa Citizen

Capté en concert le 14 septembre 2019, sous la direction et les
arrangements de Jean-Nicolas Trottier, l’ONJ rend hommage
au légendaire quintet formé de Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie
Hancock, Ron Carter et Tony Williams, ainsi qu’aux moments
sublimes que ces virtuoses ont su créer entre 1965 et 1968,
particulièrement gravés sur les albums mythiques que sont ESP,
Miles Smiles et Nefertiti.

Alors à la tête de ce quintet tonifié par la batterie du très jeune
Williams, Davis et ses collaborateurs vont s’abstraire peu à peu
des formats établis pour façonner une musique nouvelle, excitante
de cohérence autant que de liberté.

Recorded in concert on September 14, 2019, under the direction and arrangements by Jean-Nicolas Trottier, the ONJ pays tribute to the legendary quintet of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, as well as to the sublime moments that these virtuosos created between 1965 and 1968, particularly recorded on the mythical albums ESP, Miles Smiles and Nefertiti.

At the head of this quintet, invigorated by the drums of the very young Williams, Davis and his collaborators gradually broke away from established formats to create a new music, exciting in its coherence and freedom.
