Editor's review
This prizewinning Quebec trumpeter has tackled classical, jazz, and all the hybrids in between, and even a quick listen shows us how. Larouche plays with a precise style, upstanding but not stiff, and the taut, piercing tone produced, while lovely here with organ, feels applicable to many genres.
