Editor's review
What if the Loveboat sailed the St. Lawrence River? That's what Quebecois guitarist/composer Guytare Bergeron's pieces ask, and shockingly, the answer is that we'd all have been better off. Bergeron's grandiose modern big band schemes toy with horn section kitsch, but are cut through with a playful cheer that's completely infectious.
