What the critics said
One of the best jazz recording of 2006 (Radio-Canada, L'heure de pointe, december 19th 2006)
« There is an accomplishment there. A tradiotionnal jazz merging different styles like bossa nova for le grand cerf-volant » Denis Lapierre (Radio-Canada, L'heure de pointe, October 10 th 2006)
« L'Ensemble Fleur de Lys (Le Retour aux Sources) We have to thank Sylvain Picard and his octet Fleur de Lys ensemble for the album « Le Retour aux Sources ». Those tasty jazz arrangements of our own brightest singer-songrwriters is a pleasure to savor as much for the ears as for the soul. The genial arrangements offer the musicians a great vehicule for a high caliber improvisation. A welcome boldness that offers jazzophils of all generations a ticket for a beautiful trip through time. I wish that the conceptors of this little gem will receive lots of prizes, awards and recognition. When will they receive honnors outside our fontiers!? » Denis Corriveau (CFOU-FM 89,1, Jazz sans frontière, November 9th 2006)
