V.SESSION#3 - BL!NDMAN


I don't know if you already heard these four Belgian guys ; they always bring some madness along with a personal talent for music playing. Yes, they are going to play Bach on saxophones and I am ready to hear purists shouting ! Actually, I do hope purists will like their way of playing, because you may listen to the saxophones like antique instruments ; they sound like an organ sometimes, or like an old oboe d'amore...

Performing contemporary music is their other core activity. They used to work on some special projects (an Arthaud project with Phil Minton) and with people like Terry Riley or Steve Lacy. Here they will play works of John Cage (Five), Steve Reich (New York Counterpoint) and Eric Sleichim (Storm at low tide), who is the Bl!ndman's leader. Usually, the way they organise a concert program is exciting. I hope you will get excited as well !

If you wish to comment, that's here !
