Effendi Records presents a unique concept : eight accomplished musicians performing music by their composer colleagues.
In April 2002, Alain Bédard approached several composers, asking each of them to compose and arrange one original piece. These would then be reunited into one collection and performed by an eight-man ensemble. An innovative idea, born of a desire to create an unconventional meeting of musical minds. It’s a very open-ended concept, which is why we called it JazzLab!
