UZEB. Montreal jazz band in the fusion style. It was formed in 1976 in
Drummondville, Que, by the guitarist Michel Cusson (b there 22 Jan 1957)
and others. Following its debut 14 Aug 1976 at St-Euzèbe, Que, it took the
name Eusèbe-Jazz, subsequently shortened to UZEB, and soon moved to
Montreal. The drummer Jean St-Jacques and the bassist Alain Caron (b
St-Eloi, Que, 5 May 1955) had joined Cusson by 1978; St-Jacques was
replaced by Sylvain Coutu, and Coutu in 1980 by Paul Brochu (b Quebec City
5 Apr 1958). UZEB was completed by a keyboard/synthesizer player until 1987
- in turn, Stéphan Montanaro, Jeff Fisher, Michel Cyr, and its former
drummer St-Jacques. It continued after 1987 as a trio: Cusson, Caron, and
Brochu. UZEB's members also have worked as studio musicians throughout its
history and the band itself accompanied Diane Tell and Claude Dubois on
tours in 1980 and 1982 respectively.
UZEB enjoyed pop-star status in Quebec during the 1980s, winning Félix
awards as group of the year in 1984 and 1989 (in competition with pop and
rock bands) as well as for jazz album of the year in 1983, 1984, 1986, and
1987. In addition to many province-wide (and several national) tours, it
appeared regularly at the FIJM, culminating in concerts at PDA in 1989 and
1991, an honor otherwise accorded by the festival only to Oliver Jones and
Oscar Peterson among Canadian musicians. In 1991 UZEB received the FIJM's
Prix Oscar-Peterson. The band's popularity and dazzling blend of
instrumental technique and technology, which has offset a rather lacklustre
repertoire of original compositions, has made UZEB a compelling model for
young Quebec musicians and has accounted in part for the greater popularity
of fusion in Quebec than elsewhere in Canada during the decade.
