Chris D. This is their first disc of four and it is great. Think of a offbeat brass band that plays a unique, energetic, and fun blend various musical styles including jazz and funk. Great musicianship here. Led by trombonist Claude St Jean, whom you will also find on Les Projectionnistes discs here on BC. Favorite track: Acétaminophène.

about

L’ORKESTRE DES PAS PERDUS (O.P.P. for short, liberally speaking the Lost Steps Orkestra) is a Montreal six pieces brass band made up of a sousaphone, a trombone, a trumpet, alto and tenor saxophones and drums. Full of humour and highly energitic, this group draws from various contemporary currents and timeless material, breathing new and inventive dimensions into music, to the great deligth of the audience.

With this type of instrumentation, there is an inevitable difference, a sort of meeting of circus music and surrealist cabaret, with strong influence of jazz, funk and fun… For the occasion, slide trombonist Claude St Jean is the man responsible for the compositions and the arrangements of this very urban music at the crossroads of Europe and America, stretching O.P.P’ s repertoire with a touch of Zappa, a smidgen of Nino Rota and a breath of Carla Bley’s.

The musicians that make up O.P.P. are from solid jazz and musique actuelle/improvising music backgrounds, having performed with a wide cross section of Montreal’s best and musicians from elsewhere. The lively performances of the group are tinged with deligthful humour, but the play is tight and determined, giving to the compositions a cachet that is both ironic and serious.
