Joelle Leandre - Zurich Concert - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Joëlle Léandre is a living legend. It is almost impossible to list all the international greats of free music with whom Léandre has played in her decades-long career. With Zurich Concert, the magician and rebel on the double bass presents an impressive solo statement. InchIt is no coincidence that she once described the bass as her bedrock, her spinal column and the place where she stores her memories. Joëlle Léandre does not play music, she lives it... (she) spins a continuous thread of sound which never snaps. On the contrary, she keeps spinning it onwards. We hear both high energy and quiet tenderness, but the transitions are always seamless and organic. In her bass playing and with her voice. No stopping, no pause within the individual improvisations. Onwards, ever onwards. A true magician of sound,Inch writes Nina Polaschegg in the liner notes. Album Tracks 1. Zurich Concert 1 2. Zurich Concert 2 3. Zurich Concert 3 4. Zurich Concert 4 5.
