Few musicians embody the spirit of Québec’s musical radicalism better than Guy “Yug” Touin (b. 1940). During the 1960s, he was a vital part of the province’s countercultural awakening, co-founding Le Quatuor de jazz libre du Québec in 1967 and serving as the first drummer for Walter Boudreau‘s iconoclastic L’Infonie starting from their 1969 debut. He also worked alongside influential musician Robert Charlebois at the peak of the singer’s wayward curiosity, notably playing as part of his At Olympia appearance in Paris and featuring in the infamous l’Osstidcho cabarets. His practice gleefully reached across boundaries, embracing pop culture, the psychedelic underground, free jazz, poetry, fine arts, and new-age spirituality at a time when these worlds rarely intersected.
“Nu Breed” marks a turning point in Xavi Reija‘s career, consolidating an avant-garde approach that combines rhythmic precision with the freedom of progressive electric jazz. Out on the 27th of April, 2016 on MoonJune imprint!

Always Ever, out April 24, 2026, features Spence exploring a diverse spectrum of experimental approaches and preparations on the piano
“Spence is both imaginative and expansive, sensitive to mood and contrast, texture and melody, euphony and cacophony.” – Stuart Nicholson, Jazzwise
“Spence possesses a particular kind of vision that speaks to an original distance, whether from our usual sense of a scene as place or as constituent style, a special capacity to see through time and space to a different territory.” – Stuart Broomer, The Free Jazz Collective
The title of Always Ever, the absorbing new album from Australian pianist and composer Alister Spence, suggests a wellspring of sound and inspiration that gazes beyond the present moment into the infinite. An ambitious, singular and deeply personal collection of inventions and experiments, the album ventures further down the path on which the pianist embarked with his acclaimed 2020 album Whirlpool, which All About Jazz hailed as “a good place to hear [Spence’s] uncommon imagination at work.”
