“The songs presented on this album demonstrate better than any words that Anne Bisson has an innate flair for composition. All the songs are pervaded by a warm and very intimate atmosphere and speak directly to the heart. For her part, Bisson manages to make them even more evocative thanks to a vocal timbre which – depending on the case – can be fragile, fascinating, allusive and sensual, so as to express with great fidelity all the emotions present in each piece» ( Jerry D'Souza, All About Jazz). For this masterpiece, Bisson and Simaudio have joined their already impressive forces with legendary producer, conductor and arranger Guy St-Onge, Fidelio Audio's René Laflamme, drummer Paul Brochu and double bass player Normand Guilbault. The Bisson sports a wonderfully warm and rich middle register, with an array of soft overtones that seem to want to envelop and embrace listeners. The first time you hear Anne Bisson's crystalline voice, you can't help but feel a thrill of emotion, while subsequent listens reveal an intense treasure trove of emotions, which continues to resonate in the heart long after the sound has died. last deal. The melodies denote a delicate refinement thanks to a series of variations that blend jazz and pop in an extremely peculiar way. Blue Mind was recorded live on July 21 and 22, 2008 at Reference Studio in Saint-Calixte, Quebec while mastering was done by Marc-Olivier Bouchard with the assistance of René Laflamme at Pure Mastering in Saint - Calixte. With the exception of "Dragonfly", no overdubs were made and - apart from Steve Hackett's "Hoping Love Will Last" - all tracks on the program were written by Anne Bisson.
