Since its formation in 2014, Fuel Junkie has revealed itself as one of the most promising upcoming artists on the Montréal blues scene. Passionate about the blues at a very young age, Mark LeClerc founded the group with close friends met during his music studies. Singer and composer of the band, he came up with the idea of a saxophone section brought to the spotlight by modern arrangements.
Grounded in the blues, Fuel Junkie is also strongly influenced by funk and soul music. The combination of a classic trio with three saxophones gives the band its unique identity that stands out on the blues scene. Creative interaction between the band members during solo sections make way for unexpected and standout moments at every concert. The group is known by its fans for the constant flow of energy and authenticity during every performance.

Event Details
The music presented by Bassist/Composer/Educator John Menegon, in collaboration with these exceptional musicians, pushes the boundaries of today’s music on the world stage. The intuitive, spontaneous nature of the music between the musicians in the Quartet is deeply rooted in the traditions that come out of the Free Bop Era of Ornette Coleman, Dewey Redman, and Paul Motian, to name a few. The music is created in the “moment of now!”

Event Details
Charles Mingus is the master creator of a masterwork commensurate and excessive like his personality: impulsive, composite and committed. It brings together the Afro-American tradition (blues, gospel), the colorful swing of Duke Ellington and the achievements of bebop. He flirts with Western classical writing and anticipates the revolution of free jazz. Charles Mingus remains the one whose emotion, even violent and disturbing, is certainly the most honest. His eclectic style, open and free, crosses all the great currents of jazz. Normand Guilbeault could well be the first Canadian musician to have demonstrated a deep recognition of the influence of Charles Mingus. Guilbeault has invested considerably in deciphering and decoding the beauty and mystery of Mingus’ work, to which he pays homage here with his ensemble of 6 musicians.
Musicians:
Jean Derome, saxophones, flutes
Ivanhoe Jolicoeur, trumpet, flugelhorns
Matthieu Bélanger, clarinet, bass-clarinet
Alexandre Grogg, piano
Claude Lavergne, drums
Normand Guilbeault, musical direction, double bass
