About This Release
A trio recording by Canadian alto saxophonist François Carrier with his longtime drummer Michel Lambert and Polish acoustic bass-guitarist Rafał Mazur. Released by Not Two in 2015, Unknowable captures Carrier's flowing, intuitive free playing in a cross-cultural meeting, the kind of borderless collaboration that recurs throughout the label's catalog.

Critical Reception
The mystery of spontaneously created music is most certainly "unknowable," but saxophonist François Carrier has shown himself to be completely at home facing, and embracing, the unknown.

Authoritatively using both the guitar and double-bass properties of his instrument with equal proficiency, Mazur is like the third partner in a fantasy ménage a trios, adding to the situation without disrupting the others’ union.
