L Orkestre Des Pas Perdus - Age Du Cuivre

Founded in 1993 by Claude St-Jean, composer, musical director, leader and trombonist of the group, this brass band emerges once more to propel us a hundred leagues from the pastoral, in an evening with it's lot of surprises, finesse, solid solos and virtuosity. The composer's universe is characterized by inventive rhythms, imaginative turns and melodies carried by instrumentalists at the peak of their art. Members of the O.P.P. come from the jazz scene, world music, pop and musique actuelle/improvisational music backgrounds. They are: Claude St-Jean, trombone, musical director Marc Villiard, alto saxophone Yves Turgeon, tenor saxophone Roberto Murray, baritone saxophone Maxime St Pierre, trumpet Joël Brouillette, French horn Philippe Legault, tuba Martin Auguste, drums The stylistic allusions are numerous, freely inspired by jazz, funk, prog-rock, film soundtrack. The structures and arrangements of L'Orkestre des Pas Perdus are rich and surprising, the result is amazing and allows us to see as much as to hear: everyone will create his own film, one hundred frames a second!
