J. Leandre / N. Mitchell / D. Van Der Schyff: Before After
by John Sharpe
Flutist Nicole Mitchell's strong attachment to the Vancouver creative scene has borne unpredictable fruit. She has been an artist in residence at the city's International Jazz Festival from 2006-2010, but it was only when bassist Joëlle Léandre was likewise featured, in 2009, that the two combined, along with Vancouver native Dylan van der Schyff behind the ...
J. Leandre / N. Mitchell / D. Van Der Schyff: Before After
by Glenn Astarita
One of the preeminent thinkers and bassists within the modern avant-jazz era, Joëlle Léandre shares equal billing on this addition to her voluminous discography.

Bertram Turetzky: Contrabass Pioneer
by Robert Bush
Contrabassist Bertram Turetzky's career is nothing short of extraordinary. He almost single handedly redefined the role of the bass in 20th Century classical music, from one of back row support to that of featured and celebrated soloist.
