Here is the fourth chapter of this musical epic that started a decade ago, still starring the same fabulous and adventurous collabo- rators: Alexandre Côté and Bruno Lamarche on saxophone, Clinton Ryder on acoustic bass and drummer Isaiah Ceccarelli. The great American trombonist Ray Anderson, who joined the expedition in 2008, quickly became a key member of this sonic endeavour. ARRABBIATA is the Italian word for «angry», but also refers to the spicy tomato-sauce that accompanies the famous penne dish. The inspiration for the title tune of this blood-red album came from adding the rage, the hopes and the vitality expressed in the Arab Spring and «printemps érable» movements to the sauce. Join us on a visceral musical journey that leads from bottomless pits (FUNDA-MENTALLY) to luminous heights (NÉBULEUSE). Happy listening! Félix Stüssi
