Details: Térez Montcalm presents his new album, I Know I'll Be Alright, a gourmet journey between his own compositions and some of his favorite songs, all genres combined. In his groove, Térez embarks Gilbert Bécaud, Neil Young, David Bowie or Michael Jackson, with covers of breathtaking fervor and freedom. Because she does not hide that her pleasure is not less with covers than with her own compositions. Thus she presents five new songs. Under the direction of Jay Newland (producer of Charlie Haden, Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Juliette Gréco or Ayo), she recorded in Brussels with pianist Pierre de Bethmann, bassist Christophe Wallemme, guitarist Jean-Sébastien Williams (the only Québécois of his current group), Géraldine Laurent for a few titles on saxophone and drummer Fabrice Moreau. With a warm and hoarse voice, she will continue to sculpt these melodies from all genres to create her own unique jazz, somewhere between the radiant elegance of the great historical divas and the instinctive ardor of rock girls. -------------------- The new album from Canadian singer Térez Montcalm – her seventh – has the title I Know I'll Be Alright, and it weaves a passionate path between compositions from her own pen and some of her favorite songs by other writers, irrespective of genre. In the groove with Térez Montcalm here are such unlikely figures as Gilbert Bécaud, Neil Young, David Bowie or Michael Jackson, and her versions of the titles by the latter have a stunning fervor and freedom to them. Montcalm makes no secret of the fact that she derives just as much pleasure from 'covers' as she does from her own compositions. Five brand-new songs in all, inspired by her own life-experiences. Guided by Jay Newland – the producer of Charlie Haden, Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Juliette Gréco or Ayo – Térez recorded the album in Brussels with pianist Pierre de Bethmann, bassist Christophe Wallemme, guitarist Jean-Sébastien Williams (the only Quebec musician in her current group), Géraldine Laurent playing saxophone here and there, and drummer Fabrice Moreau. With a warm, husky voice, she continues sculpting melodies from all kinds of genres to make them her own, special jazz, somewhere in between the radiant elegance of history's great divas and the fiery instinct of the great rockers.
