A set of recently discovered recordings by Montreal legends Quintonal, may constitute the best Canadian Jazz Funk lp the world has never heard!
Quintonal were active from 1974 to 1976, during which time they recorded their only commercially available recording, ‘JMC automne 76’ a four-song, seven inch EP. Sold at their concerts, Quintonal’s EP is prized not only for its rarity (roughly 300 copies were pressed) but because of the inclusion of two Quintonal-penned tunes: ‘Antoine’ and ‘Sept-Quatre’, which are extremely rare (and extremely good) recorded examples of Canadian musicians playing in a Jazz Funk mode.
Nearly forty years later, a phone conversation between Jazzaggression and Quintonal alumni Jean Pellerin revealed that while Quintonal never released any further material, they did complete two recording sessions between 1975 and 1976. These recordings reveal Quintonal to be a group overflowing with talent: their arrangements are exciting and sophisticated, performed with great energy and technical prowess. Comparisons with European contemporaries playing in a similar mode include the French group Cortex or Placebo from Belgium.
Seventeen songs, including ‘Antoine’ and ‘Sept-Quatre’ have been remastered from digital transfers from the original reel to reel tapes.
