Joëlle Léandre
Born:
Joelle Leandre started playing recorder but quickly moved to piano and from the age of 9 to 14 studied both piano and double bass in her home town of Aix-en-Provence. Her double bass teacher, Pierre Delescluse, encouraged her to apply to the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris where she won first prize for double bass. In 1976 she received a scholarship to the Center for Creative and Performing Arts in Buffalo, a time that was to prove particularly influential due to encounters with Morton Feldman, and the music of Earl Brown, John Cage and Giacinto Scelsi. At the same time, she was able to experience the downtown New York music scene and continue her involvement in improvised music. Joelle Leandre has continued to be involved with contemporary 'straight' music, not only as a member of contemporary music ensembles such as 2E2M, Itineraire and l'Ensemble Intercontemporain but particularly through the works of Cage and Scelsi, several of which have been recorded by her

by Libero Farnè
L'indagine sulle case discografiche indipendenti italiane, di cui sono già state presentate due interviste relative a Red Records e Dodicilune, ha lo scopo soprattutto d'individuare le differenze e le peculiarità che caratterizzano queste coraggiose realtà; ognuna infatti ha una propria storia, una sua filosofia, oltre che metodi organizzativi per affrontare i vari aspetti della produzione, distribuzione ...

Zlatko Kaučič: Zlatko Kaučič@70 - Inklings
by Mark Corroto
I am tempted to call Inklings, a tribute to 70-year-old Slovenian drummer, composer, and percussionist Zlatko Kaučič, a celebration of his long and inspirational career. Yet, I hesitate, for much like the indefatigable octogenarians Han Bennink and Louis Hayes, Kaučič shows no signs of slowing down. It would not be surprising if he, like Roy Haynes, ...

I Dischi del 2024 secondo Neri Pollastri
