Quebec bassist Alain Caron first made his musical mark as a member of the jazz fusion group UZEB. Caron’s solo career took off just as UZEB dissolved. Personal projects multiplied as he engaged in fruitful collaborations: recordings with Leni Stern, Didier Lockwood, Michel Donato, tours with Don Alias, Mike Stern, Tom Harrell…
For his latest opus Sep7entrion, the internationally acclaimed bassist returns to jazz fusion and reveals with brilliance his ability to update the genre by comfortably weaving jazz, rock, funk, with African touches and South American influences. Always invested in writing and stylizing, Caron clearly demonstrates the energy, versatility and breath that have made him one of the most influential bassists of his generation.
Alain Caron recently received a Felix for album of the year in Jazz creation.

Musicians : Alain Caron (bass), John Roney (piano), Pierre Côté (guitar), Damien Schmitt (drums)
