This album is more or less a reflection on the music of Monk, which has always fascinated and inspired Alain Bédard. It is at the same time a refl ection on the condition of our planet, the stage for centuries of profound injustices and heedless acts perpetrated by Man. This CD is the fi rst adventure for Alain Bédard as a band leader on Effendi.
