"The technically dazzling outfit uses fingerboards to leap stylistic boundaries and fuse intricate styles. The result is a smartly intellectual and yet deeply moving sound that's a true Canadian original: jazz forms sliding over a rootsy bluegrass base, with flashes of chamber music, reverence and avant-garde experimentation. It’s the product of four adept and accomplished musicians, dedicated to performing unique and exciting material that raises the bar for instrumental acoustic music."

• Jordan Officer - guitar

"A master of sonic space, Jordan Officer is an extraordinary musician and creator. Recognized for an approach that moves back and forth between power and subtlety, the Montreal guitarist and arranger is one of those rare players with a knack for getting straight to the essential. In his hands, the blues, jazz and country blend into an eminently singular and personal language. Whether in the company of singer Susie Arioli or in the framework of his solo projects, this alchemist of swing had made a name for himself over the past decade as one of the most remarkable artisans of the blue note."

"Enfin, il s'amène à Gatineau avec un spectacle teinté de rythmes blues, jazz et country. Véritable alchimiste du son, il séduit par son talent inouï de guitariste livré avec une sensibilité toute masculine. Un artiste unique et raffiné, avec la plus belle des qualités, l'humilité. À découvrir si ce n'est pas déjà fait!"
