“Emotional, uninhibited,
and hauntingly beautiful.”
Susan Frances, Jazz Review

Pianist Claude Marc Bourget decided to come back to the spotlight with a magical release where improvisation and avant-garde jazz smoothly immixes into a surely mellifluous set played with his audacious musical spirit.

The album strikes up this creation with a delightful “Opening”. Delineating poignant melodies, Bourget engrafts an explicit perimeter into the grand programme via his phrasing and clamouring tones. Withal, Bourget deploys here a great deal of energy throughout these generally thrilling journeys. On “Second Time” he furnishes a contemporary styled pace, mixing it all up with classical connotations. In addition, Claude-Marc Bourget fuses rhythmic, but also long silent spaces with picturesque melodies during many of these tracks. Au fond, Bourget merrily clasps the extraneous realm of concerns with visceral crescendos.

The Canadian pianist eventually boosts his freedom of movement with classical soundscapes, often pointed with ample improvisational moments. This album transmits a reckless outlook, sporadically toned down with ambient interludes. Overall, Bourget’s Second Time is a brave, yet remarkably lucid production translating into a highly approachable jazz album. For a second time, after many years of being out of the spotlight of music, Bourget has succeeded in what is not always easily attainable !
