This episode features four of Yukon’s finest Jazz musicians. They came together under the name of “Feet Farouche” for an improvisational jam to entertain the crowed at an arts and crafts market in Haines Junction, Yukon.
The quartet revisits a multitude of traditional songs from genres including old jazz, Irish fiddle, and Quebecois style music, to name a few, and play them drumming with their feet, like in traditional Irish music, in a “farouche” way (Farouche being a French word meaning untamed or savage!).
Feet Farouche are (clock wise), Brigitte Desjardins on drums (including an old suitcase) and vocals, Paul Bergman on upright bass, Kieran Poile on fiddle and vocals and Olivier de Colombel on soprano saxophone and vocals.
We recorded this event on August 14th, 20016.
