Quadra Spherium is the new album from Antoine Fafard, featuring Gary Husband on drums and Jean-Pierre Zanella on tenor saxophone. The concept behind this album stems from Antoine's motivation to craft an album specifically for Zanella on the tenor saxophone and from Husband's willingness to performed drums for him on his new Pearl drumkit. Quadra Spherium is in a way a sequel to the Sphere album released in 2016, where Husband played drums. On this new project, Antoine is showcased on bass and all guitars, allowing him to push the boundaries of his guitar playing in an instrumental jazz fusion context.

Multi-instrumentalist Gary Husband is well known for his long association with guitarist Allan Holdsworth, with whom he recorded multiple albums and extensively performed over many years. As a session musician, Husband's credits include collaborations with artists such as Jack Bruce, Gary Moore, Level 42, Jeff Beck, Mike Stern and many more. His parallel voice as a keyboard player has seen him as a member of John McLaughlin's group The 4th Dimension and Billy Cobham's touring bands. As a bandleader, soloist and composer Gary has released over 14 album recordings under his own name.

Jean-Pierre Zanella, a highly sought-after player in Montreal, Canada, earned his master's degree in jazz from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, in 1982. Recognized by the Brazilian government with the honorific Order of Rio Branco, Zanella won the Oscar Peterson Prize at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal in 2011 for his significant contributions to the Canadian jazz scene.

Having released music for 25 years, Antoine Fafard has collaborated with some of the world's most respected and influential players, including Vinnie Colaiuta, Jerry Goodman, Gavin Harrison, Simon Phillips, and Todd Sucherman. Fafard's music has consistently earned praise for its intricacy and originality from his peers.
