H ii Regions (Nicolas Caloia, Jahsun Promesse & Aaron Leaney)
H ii Regions is a jazz rooted ensemble which coalesced during the first loosening of Montreal's lockdown restrictions. Formed during the summer of 2021, the three collaborators, saxophonist Aaron Leaney, bassist Nicolas Caloia and drummer Jahsun Promesse, formed a collective trio to express their shared personal experiences. Never knowing when their last meeting would be, the music erupted spontaneously with raw passion, wailing fury and emotional release. Their music makes reference to the past : the jazz language, spontaneous groove, and afro-caribbean roots, but they have a clear and decisive mandate : that the musical forms from before covid must transform and respond to the needs of people that they are now.
