data-original-title=”” title=””>Ariane Racicot – winner of the 2022-2023
Révélation Radio-Canada prize for jazz –
announces her second album Danser avec le
feu (‘Dancing With Fire.’) With passion and
intensity, the Montreal pianist continues to
explore her hybrid mix of jazz fusion, Latin music,
metal, classical and progressive rock. For fans of
Tigran Hamasyan, Hiromi Uehara and Avishai
Cohen, Racicot’s music will feel like home.
This album’s eight new pieces place her joie de
vivre and her passion for music front and center.
With her trusted musical partners Antoine
Rochefort and Guillaume Picard by her side, she
tackles a new suite of songs about resilience,
environmental anxiety and the importance of
trusting your instincts.
The seeds for Danser avec le feu were planted
during the tour for Ariane’s first album, Envolée.
As the relationship between the three musicians
deepened, she was inspired to push her concept
further, exploring her unique fusion of genres and
the textural possibilities of the combination of
acoustic piano and electric bass. Many of the
pieces on this recording are through composed
from start to finish, lending the album a pacing
and shape that bring to mind the sound of
progressive rock.
Danser avec le feu is ultimately an exploration
of language: in terms of sonic texture, harmonic
colour, and the rhythmic pulse of a number of
musical traditions.
Danser avec le feu was released worldwide
on Friday, February 21st 2025.
