Parc X Trio

Taking their name from Montreal’s culturally diverse Parc Extension neighbourhood, Parc X Trio’s music is just about as diverse as the place they call home. Combining rock, world music, hip hop, and drum & bass in to their instrumental jazz sound, keyboardist Gabriel Vinuela-Pelletier, bassist Alex Lefaivre, and drummer Alain Bourgeois explore some very interesting musical territory.

The group groove together exceptionally well, employing intricate rhythmic patterns and complex harmonic language as a basis for their compositions and improvisations. Not unlike their Toronto brethren BADBADNOTGOOD, Park X Trio are pushing the modern electric piano trio sound to new and interesting places.

On Saturday, September 26th, Parc X Trio will perform at the Masonic Temple, beginning at 10pm.

“Parc X Trio | Maison de la culture Frontenac, le 5 mars Ă  20h

La formation montrĂ©alaise Parc X Trio sera de passage Ă  la Maison de la culture Frontenac, le 5 mars, afin de nous offrir son jazz Ă©nergique et contagieux. Fort de 5 albums depuis 2009, dont le plus rĂ©cent, PXT live in NYC, a Ă©tĂ© enregistrĂ© au ShapeShifter Lab, le trio propose un jazz aux effluves modernes et Ă©lectriques, grâce Ă  une bonne basse guitare et l’ajout de Fender Rhodes. Un jazz presque rock, que l’on recommande fortement. Avec Gabriel Vinuela-Pelletier (piano et composition), Alain Bourgeois (batterie) et Alex Lefaivre (basse et composition).

Bon Ă  savoir : ils seront aussi Ă  la Maison de la culture Marie-Uguay, le 19 mars. Gratuit avec laissez-passer !”

Sortiesjazznights.com reviews PXT live in NYC

Here’s a great review by Christophe Rodriguez.

“August 7, 2014
This young trio has come a long way. From a relatively acoustic brand of jazz, this very creative trio is now playing some heavy duty jazz with some Fender Rhodes and simple sound effects which gives their music an added touch,  makes for some great Montreal jazz.

In the PXT Live In NYC, without applause (too bad), Gabriel Vinuela-Pelletier, Fender Rhodes, Alex Lefaivre, bass and Alain Bourgeois at the drums explore the meanders of a modern, strong and accessible brand of jazz, and to add to that, for those who like something that’s out-of-the-box, but just a little bit. Of course we love the ambitious Russian Spy, Body and Soul as well as En retour. Pump up your summer listening with PXT Live In NYC and let’s hope we can hear them soon in concert.”
