A collection of intimate mostly bass/piano duets with good friends including, OLIVER JONES, FRANCOIS BOURASSA, LORRAINE DESMARAIS, OTMARO RUIZ and JEAN ST-JACQUES (vibraphone) • A jazzy and intimate album that leaves you with the impression of witnessing a close dialogue between 2 friends, the inspiration for the album title! • « Conversations » includes 9 original compositions by the famous bassist as well as 2 revisited standards. • Alain Caron is still a major player on the Canadian and international jazz scenes. Since the release of the “5” album, he has toured with his own band consistently throughout Canada and Europe.
