Michel Cusson

"This is the soundtrack to a real life event. Years ago on an East Coast beach I witnessed a panic-stricken woman throw away her family photo albums in the ocean, as if to erase her past, her entire life. Once she left, I felt compelled to save the photographs before they could drift away at sea. I put them in a box and forgot about it until one day, years later, I opened it up and noticed that they had transformed into this strangely beautiful wash of colors, eerie human figures that seemed to tell a story that parallels my own life. It inspired me to create a soundtrack to our stories, an homage to family and destiny."

The band won a number of Canadian awards during the 1980s.By 1989, international sales of UZEB's first eight recordings had exceeded 200,000 units, which the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada calls "an unprecedented figure for a Canadian jazz group"

UZEB were a band from Quebec, formed in 1976 in Drummondville. They moved to Montreal and through most part of their career they worked as a guitar/bass/drums trio with the occasional addition of a keyboard player.''Fast emotion'', released in 1983,shows a band, who wants to offer straight and pleasant jazz/fusion rock.The album is dominated by the groovy bass lines of Alain Caron, the extended guitar solos and the heavy use of synth guitar by Michel Cusson and the somewhat supported role of drummer Paul Brochu.

Never say never. Twenty-five years after breaking up, the legendary Canadian jazz-fusion band Uzeb has unexpectedly reunited for a 2017 tour. In summer 2016, drummer Paul Brochu, bassist Alain Caron and guitarist Michel Cusson rekindled their creative chemistry for the first time since disbanding in 1992.

A three-piece jazz/fusion group from Canada made up of bass, guitar, and synthesizers, UZEB's musicians are very talented players, making the music above average for this style.
This is a very accessible Jazz Rock set by a talented set of musicians. Alain Caron may be one of the most underappreciated bassists out there. His groovy bass lines are always interesting and he creates some very tasty leads. Michel Cusson's fretwork is always impressive, especially when jumping through chords and Paul Brochu never drops a beat. Although some tracks like "Noisy Nights" and "Spider" sound a little dated, it is still a pleasant album. The standout track on this album is "Luna Mars". The beautiful lyricism of Caron's fretless bass is worth the price of admission alone. Other highlights include "New Hit", "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and "I believe it".
