A virtuoso clarinet and soprano saxophone player, Canadian François Houle invents a lyrical and resolutely hybrid universe that synthesizes the expressiveness of the great masters of modern jazz (from Jimmy Giuffre to Steve Lacy) with the sophistication of forms and practices borrowed from contemporary music. At the head of his 'Genera' sextet, with a sparkling international cast, he gives his full measure in the art of blurring the tracks and the boundaries between the written and the improvised.
