"... clarinetist Houle enlists an all-star support system for a comprehensive album that radiates numerous slants amid ethereal backwashes, scrappy improvisation and softly explorative passages."
- All About Jazz
"... one of the best-sounding clarinetists in improvised music ..."
- The New York Times
Genera, from acclaimed classical and contemporary clarinetist François Houle and a superb backing group, merges classical music interests with free improv. The common factor is a keen awareness of 20th century music in its various forms and a fascination with the structure and organization of sound in both composition and improvisation. The group coalesces in an intense and moving collaboration that balances spontaneous exploration and disciplined ensemble with dense textures.
