Some info on the release: Rare original issue, released in Germany sometime in the 80's on the Intakt Records imprint (Barry Guy, Anthony Braxton, London Jazz Composers Orchestra, Gunter Sommer, Pierre Favre, Han Bennink, David Moss, Eugene Chadbourne, etc.). Side A recorded at the Musee d’Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, April 1987. Side B recorded April 26, 1985 at the Theatre Dunois, Paris. Radio France (Programme Musical de France-Culture). At the crosspoint between improvised free form music and new music. With bass, trombone, piano and alto saxophone.
Joëlle Léandre is a double bassist, vocalist, and composer active in new music and free improvisation. In the field of contemporary music, she has performed with Pierre Boulez's Ensemble InterContemporain, and worked with Merce Cunningham and John Cage. Both Cage and Giacinto Scelsi have composed works specifically for her. She gave an historic solo concert in "Jazz em Agosto" in 2007 (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal). In this same top jazz festival, Léandre performed also in the "Quartet Noir", a quartet with quite rare live performances, with Marilyn Crispell, Urs Leimgruber and Fritz Hauser.
She has also collaborated with some of the preeminent musicians in the fields of jazz and improvised music, including Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton, George Lewis, Evan Parker, Irène Schweizer, Steve Lacy, Maggie Nicols, Fred Frith, Carlos Zingaro, John Zorn, Susie Ibarra, J. D. Parran, Eric Watson, Ernst Reijseger, and Sylvie Courvoisier. In 1983 she became member of the European Women Improvising Group (EWIG), which resulted from former Feminist Improvising Group and in later 1980s she co-founded the feminist improvising Trio Les Diaboliques, with Schweizer and Nicols.
Irène Schweizer is a notable Swiss jazz and free improvising pianist. She has performed and recorded numerous solo piano performances as well as performing as part of the Feminist Improvising Group, whose members include Lindsay Cooper, Maggie Nichols, Georgie Born and Sally Potter. She has also performed a series of duos with drummers Pierre Favre, Louis Moholo, Andrew Cyrille, Günter Sommer, Han Bennink, Hamid Drake, as well as in trio and quartet sessions with others, including John Tchicai, Evan Parker or Peter Kowald. With Yusef Lateef, Uli Trepte and Mani Neumeier she performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1967. One of her most enduring collaborations is with the improvising musician Rüdiger Carl.
Condition: Vinyl lies in mint condition, looks super clean and plays perfectly, while cover lies in excellent condition, with the slightest corner bending.
