Nada by François Carrier - Michel Lambert
For their third duo recording Nada, Canadian saxophonist François Carrier and drummer Michel Lambert, play no less than twenty short improvised pieces, varying between 44 seconds and 6 minutes. In stark contrast to most other releases by Creative Sources, the music in Nada is relatively accessible, there is melody and rhythm, even implicitly, as opposed to the “organized sounds” that the label is better known for. The two musicians keep delving deeper into the essence of music, delivering their little miniatures with an immediacy and authenticity which also characterized their latest albums.
