Jan 4, 2009 - Chantal Chamberland Nominated - Female Vocalist Of The Year - Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards. This is Our Time, is an impressive sampling of sultry originals and traditional standards, delivered in Chamberland's trademark seductive vocal style."Music is an expression of life - in all its beauty, sorrow and delight. This is especially true of Jazz which has always been my passion. Intrigued by the musical and emotional legacy of the great Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn and Edith Piaf, it is my admiration of these legends that is the inspiration for "This is our Time". - Chantal Chamberland - - THIS IS OUR TIME - IN REVIEW - Slow burning passion and world-weary grit coalesce in the sultry, urban nightclub-style vocals of Chantal Chamberland. The Canadian singer/songwriter mines the depths of emotion once again with her album THIS IS OUR TIME, a collection of original compositions, pop covers and classic torch songs. With her mature, aggressive vocal delivery, Chamberland turns each of these songs into an intense display of soul-searching poignancy.Included is a lusciously smoky rendition of the Peggy Lee classic "Fever,"an already sensual song that Chamberland makes even more potent. Also included are covers of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" and The Eurythmics'"Here Comes the Rain Again"" Chantal has always had the ability to create moving, atmospheric music out of pop arrangements, and now she effortlessly transfers that ability to jazz… sparse but never empty, This Is Our Time is a smoky affair that manages to avoid the glossy trappings to which some jazz recordings succumb."Chamberland puts a unique spin on Edith Piaf's beautiful "La vie en rose" as well as her lead-off radio single "Here Comes The Rain Again", first made famous by the Eurythmics."This is our time showcases Chamberland's talent for jazz with deep, resonating, passionate vocals."

El-P, aka El Producto, is one of hip-hop's most obstinate and adventurous pioneers, combining a lo-fi old-school aesthetic with a progressive rock musician's inclination to push boundaries. He has never succumbed to the demands of corporate rap, instead choosing to pursue his own decidedly non-commercial direction. In the mid-'90s, he developed a strong reputation with the groundbreaking trio Company Flow, a band whose achievements include El-P-produced LP Funcrusher Plus on Rawkus Records, a label considered by many one of the best for intelligent hip-hop. Over the group's auspicious stint together, he proved he was himself capable of intense lyricism as well as sonic production so powerful it could stand on its own.

Ian Anderson: I think, this is pretty much the only time that I've ever sung anybody else's lyrics.
Jack Bruce: The work that Leslie, Laszlo and me did turned out to be some of my favorite vocal performances of recent times.
