The JMC Project is a sextet where the texts are set, the sets are tight,where jazz and hip-hop set the record straight. An explosive mix out to make a statement, this project is not about making it. It's about the fun while making it. Music. And that's it.
The project came to life in Quebec City in 2006. Philippe Cyr , jazz afficionado, wants to attain maximum groove and give jazz music a new image for today?s generation. The addition of Peter Tardif, an MC that Phil first met in the hip-hop formation known as Mindz, allows the group to fuse jazz and hip-hop together and thus extend their reach to those for whom jazz is unknown. The poets natural flows, instinct, and rhythm fit perfectly with the goal of the project and so the saga continues ; it?s jazz with an MC, thus standing for the JMC Project.
Le « Jazz with an MC Project » voit le jour en 2006 des suites de l?initiative de Philippe Cyr, guitariste passionné de jazz, à mettre sur pied un groupe aux ambitions simples: Donner une nouvelle image au jazz, avoir du plaisir et en donner ! La venu du rappeur Pete Tardif permet au groupe de fusionner les structures harmoniques et le vocabulaire jazz à l?univers hip-hop. L?instinct musical et le flow naturel qui porte les textes de Peter crée l?alliage des styles qui caractérise aujourd?hui le projet. 6 musiciens et artistes à l?objectif commun : Créer un jazz nouveau, accessible et enlevant. Fusion des styles, des sonorités et des idéologies.
