Title - Recollecting
Artist - Mathieu Soucy

For those unaware, Mathieu Soucy (he/him/i) is a Canadian up-and-coming jazz guitarist and composer living in Montréal. His debut album, entitled Recollecting is out now via Rebop Records, and is a self-released effort that features the brilliant voices of the new generation of Canadian jazz.

Mathieu’s first record is a recollective act, as it speaks a language rehearsed and brought to the fore by many creative spirits of the bop era; yet it does so with an accent. It is only insofar as the language has, from the outset, concerned itself with colorful variations, that Mathieu was able to produce an album that speaks his own most voice, but also that of his illustrious, albeit sometimes forgotten, predecessors.

1. Lennie’s Changes
2. Where or When
3. Turner Days
4. Blues for Barry
5. Thinker and a Fool
6. Mike’s Mudrā
7. 5th Avenue
8. Reflections
9. Recollecting

This dutifully dulcet, always heartfelt, and wholly encompassing new album opens on the skittish rhythms within Lennie’s Changes and the beautifully free flowing Where or When (featuring the vocals of Caity Gyorgy) and then brings us the articulately sculptured, upright bass-led Turner Days, the heady hipsway of Blues for Barry and the quieter, but no less melodic Thinker and a Fool (once again with Caity Gyorgy).

Up next is one of my own personal treats, the foot-tapping and finger-snapping flow within Mike’s Mudrā which is itself seamlessly on the late night, lounge bar appeal of 5th Avenue, the album rounding out a chance for Soucy to showcase his masterful guitar skills on Reflections, closing all too soon on the swirling jazz notes from all musicians on the titular Recollecting.
