Tomasz flew from Krakow to Montréal and arrived the night before the first concert and he stayed at the Polish Consulate in one of their guest rooms. Mat flew from New York and Gary drove his car from upstate New York and both arrived in the afternoon of the first concert, right on time for sound check. Tomasz, Michel and I were already in the theater when they arrived. Not long after Tomasz had his trumpet ready for the sound check, the eager young assistant technician abruptly went by and tangled into Tomasz's clip-on microphone, and in a fraction of a second, I saw his trumpet launch from one side of the stage to the other, hitting the wall. I was in complete shock. The moment triggered such a powerful response. I thought his trumpet was completely destroyed and we wouldn’t be able to perform. However, Tomasz picked up his trumpet, and it was perfectly fine. This experience made me realize that in any given moment, our emotions are powerful and can move from one intensity to another in a split second.

about

Let's move to Montreal in 2006, when Francois Carrier's ensemble performed on the La Chapelle festival stage with an unusual and astonishing line-up.
The leader recalls that time:
In late 2005, I was putting together my annual series of concerts with both local and international artists and musicians. Two of these nights were dedicated to special guests. At the time, I had just heard of Tomasz Stanko from his beautiful album, Matka Joanna. Instantly, I knew I had to do something with him. I listened to his playing over and over. He is such a unique soul. Soon after, I was able to get in touch with Anna Stanko, his daughter and agent, and we agreed on the terms to have him come to Montréal for two concerts. I felt that having two other musicians I had the blessing to play with over the years would create the perfect and unique sound so I reached out to Mat Maneri and Gary Peacock who both came along. Of course, Michel Lambert would also be part of this ad hoc group adventures.
