Precisely what the jazz world needs (review from amazon.com)
OK, you've never heard of Francois Houle and Benoit Delbecq. That's fine. They're a little on the obscure side. They record for that nearly invisible avant-garde Canadian jazz label, Songlines.

But you know what? They're making some of the finest music on the planet.

Their latest project, Dice Thrown, vaults them into the absolute first rank of jazz practitioners. Brainy, nimble, accessible--what more could you want?

Hear me now: Don't be thrown off by their obscurity. Don't be thrown off by the term avant-garde. Don't be thrown off by their extended technique. Just listen to the unfolding rapturousness, the sonic glory, the musical transcendence. Trust me on this one: You won't be disappointed.
