Spool Records is releasing a live recording titled “Open Spaces” with Dewey Redman, Michel Donato, Ron Séguin, Michel Lambert and François Carrier. This recording was made during a series of concerts in Quebec City, Quebec in 1999. Playing, improvising and sharing with legendary Dewey Redman during these three nights of concerts was a deep spiritual and joyful experience.

"When I last talked to Dewey in early August 2006, he commented this recording as so, "Very Happy Music." He was right, the music of "Open Spaces" is incredibly happy. " F.C.

Dewey left us on Saturday, September 2, 2006 but his music is very much alive and always will be. A great source of Inspiration and a life time dedicated to Freedom, Soul and Spirit.

Spool Records vient tout juste de sortir “Open Spaces”, le plus récent album de François Carrier avec, entre autres, le légendaire saxophoniste ténor Dewey Redman. De ces trois concerts enregistrés devant public à Québec en 1999, François a choisi trois pièces entièrement improvisées d’une grande intensité.

"La dernière fois que j'ai parlé à Dewey, au début du mois d'août 2006, il m'a fait le commentaire suivant: "la musique est très joyeuse." F.C.

Dewey nous a quitté le 2 septembre 2006 mais sa musique reste tellement vivante et intemporelle. Une VRAIE source d’inspiration.
