Sebastien Dufour's charango and ukulele (MG3 : Montreal Guitare Trio, Vent du Nord, Intakto) take centre stage, accompanied by Patrick Graham's miniature percussion section (La Nef, Autorickshaw, Ramasutra) on the cajonito, kanjira, udu, carillon and other diminutive devices. Resonating through it all is Frederic Samson (Musa Dieng Kala, Vent du Nord, OVO), on his double bass a big, contrasting exception in this small world of music, whose enveloping depths will balance the voices of the other instruments. Drawing its inspiration from the four corners of the globe, the Small World Project's music vibrates with Brazilian samba beats, Chilean folklore, flamenco Andalou, Hawaiian Island melodies, and the musical strains of Morocco, Senegal, India with some good old American bluegrass in the mix. Primarily scored by ensemble leader Sebastien Dufour, this trio's original music is all about decompartementalizing musical styles by integrating pure world elements, classical music and jazz. Winner of the Galaxie / CBC Rising Stars Award at Festival des Musiques et du Monde and nominated for Best Jazz & World Music album of the year at the 2008 OPUS Awards, the trio was performing recently at the Montreal International Jazz Festival and will be part of the next edition of the New York Uke Fest.
