The Association of Improvising Musicians Toronto (AIMToronto) Orchestra was formed in 2007 to rehearse and perform the music of Anthony Braxton.  Their performance at the Guelph Jazz Festival, with Braxton playing and conducting, was broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and is documented as Creative Orchestra (Guelph) 2007 (Spool Records 130).  Under the artistic direction of Kyle Brenders, the Orchestra subsequently developed repertoire by its members during monthly workshops at the Leftover Daylight Series, Toronto.Year of the Boar is the Orchestra’s first studio recording.

Formé à l’origine à l’ccasion d’une visite d’Anthony Braxton à Toronto, l’AIMToronto Orchestra (Association of Improvising Musicians - Toronto) a poursuivi sa course et publie maintenant son premier album studio. L’orchestre compte 17 membres jouant presque exclusivement des instruments acoustiques. Au menu, sept compositions provenant de ses membres Justin Haynes, Kyle Brenders, Joe Sorbara et Germaine Liu. Les trois pièces de Brenders sont longues, méthodiques et souvent minimalistes - des explorations réussies des possibilités de l’orchestre. Les deux pièces de Haynes, plus courtes, sont tordues et facétieuses, rappelant l’écriture de René Lussier. Un disque solide, autant dans la composition que l’interprétation. Recommandé.  [Ci-dessous: “Year of the Boar”, une composition de Justin Haynes.]

Assembled for a visit of Anthony Braxton in Toronto, the Association of Improvising Musicians - Toronto’s AIMToronto Orchestra has continued to evolve and is now releasing its first studio album. The orchestra is a 17-piece of almost exclusively acoustic instruments. The album features seven compositions by some of its members: Justin Haynes, Kyle Brenders, Joe Sorbara, and Germaine Liu. Brenders’ three pieces are long, methodical and often minimal – successful experimentations with the orchestra’s possibilities. Haynes’ two tracks are shorter, more whimsical and twisted, reminiscent of René Lussier’s writing style. A strong record, both in terms of composition and interpretation. Recommended.  [Below: “Year of the Boar,” penned by Justin Haynes.
