For the first concert in his “invitation” series, Carl Mayotte invites you to an evening featuring a trio he has long dreamed of assembling. Bringing together Paul Brochu—a true drumming legend who has played with the biggest names, notably in the band UZEB—and François Bourassa—one of Quebec’s greatest jazz pianists, with a career spanning the globe—was a project the bassist had cherished for years.

The combination of Paul Brochu’s powerful, expressive playing, François Bourassa’s refined, impressionistic musical world, and Carl Mayotte’s groove-infused virtuosity promises a unique concert defined by musical rapport, spontaneity, and creativity.
