MONTRÉAL la Magnifique au temps des années folles
1920: Quebec opts for alcohol tolerance in the face of severe American prohibition measures, and Montreal becomes the ‘place to be’ for nightlife. Jazz musicians move in, sharing their ‘popular’ music: jazz, chanson, charleston. Quebec artists adapt English-language hits into French, with radio, talking pictures, and the phonograph spreading this musical frenzy.
Steve Normandin musical direction, voice, accordion
Guillaume Bourque clarinets
Serge Lavoie guitars
Clinton Ryder doublebass
Catherine Meunier xylophone, percussion
