"It is because of Elizabeth Gagnon's new radio show, 'Vent d'est' that I could discover this group which is unfortunately not well known, and who would deserve to be. These four of my generation gave a delightful performance..."
"Pierre Veniot, visibly the leader of the band, plays as well ... the tenor saxophone, the soprano, the flute, percussions and keyboard."
"What I liked most of all, is that I heard 'Smooth Jazz' without vocals, instrumental like this musical style should always be."
"...I loved the 40 minutes of pure jazz that I heard..."
"VOIR should make this band known in the alphabetic index of our local artists. It is not always necessary to import art when it is alongside of us everyday..."

Bio
STORIAS represents four different life journeys, each as interesting as the others, four passionate musicians, four signatures expressed through one great bond of complicity which is obvious on stage, with respect to one harmony and one will: that of simply telling a story! To make the music speak to you is what they seek, using their own language.
To tell their story sometimes fervently, sometimes tenderly, with audacity and passion, with brio.
The alliance of these four musicians is unmistakable. It is in a very natural fashion that the members of this band found, right from the start of the STORIAS project, a collusion which is unique to them, allowing them to appreciate each other’s experience and with much ease, to explore uncommon musicals paths.
They recognize their mutual talents, respect them and are even inspired by them. The strength of their commitment towards their discipline, their clear artistic integrity and a deep sensitivity make STORIAS a band which is more than interesting. These four musicians unanimously attach an importance to the organic, even biological, aspect of their compositions and their interpretations. A carnal music, which fulfills not just your ears…
Fans of natural and living musicality, you will love STORIAS.
