Montreal Mirror, CD Review >>
Where in the world do the cats in Small World Project not find sounds to draw on? With a preference for pocket-sized instruments, the Quebec trio—Sébastien Dufour of Intakto and Montréal Guitare Trio on ukuleles, charangos and such, his colleague in Vent du Nord Frédéric Samson on acoustic basses and percussionist Patrick Graham (Autorickshaw etc.) thumping and banging things—cook up a mirthful, melodious mélange, drawing on such stuff as Indian dhrupad singing, tango, medieval music and bluegrass. The latter is ever-present in Stone and Sissoko’s effort. Less colourful cacophony than conversation, it’s a honey-sweet meeting between capable players—Juno-winner Stone, from Ontario, brings a jazzman’s emotive scope to his banjo notions, while Malian singer/kora player Sissoko soaks it all in sunshine.
