Anne Bisson is still completely unknown in German-speaking countries. The Canadian comes from the province of Quebec and lives in Montréal. She has a rigorous training in classical piano and singing and has won countless awards in Canada. This jazz album, however, is very personal, with eight self-written, deeply emotional songs with outstanding sound quality. The entire album with all 11 tracks now appears on the CD as a deluxe version with a newly revised cover, a beautiful manual and a butterfly and is now also available in Europe after Anne Bisson switched to Camilio Records.
Anne Bisson worked out all the songs completely and got to know two professional session musicians from the Fidelio Musik label in the studio. Drummer Paul Brochu also teaches at the University of Montréal and has toured Europe as a percussionist. Double bass player Normand Guilbeault plays jazz with passion and is the organizer of the Montreal OFF Festival de Jazz. This trio harmonizes as if they were made for each other. The entire LP was produced in less than two days.
That in itself would not be so interesting for the audiophile music listener if the recording had not also been technically outstanding. In the studio reference in St. Calixte, an amazing recording was captured on analog tape (!) With the finest Neumann and B&K microphones. This studio actually uses Shunyata audiophile cables and the amplification is done by the Canadian manufacturer MOON. Then overdubs were used for the entire CD only on the track ‘Dragonfly’ – all other tracks are presented as they were actually recorded. An absolute rarity in modern productions.
