Weirdness Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I've known about this for awhile, but didn't want to bring it up until it was for sure a done deal, pressed and all that. Anyways, this was a fantastic show, one of the best that I've seen as well as one of the better recordings that I have pulled. It's on a label from Montreal that does obscure Jazz shit called Red Toucan Records. If you see it around, check it out!!! "This is the time for our spring release ; it is a splendid duet from French bassist Joelle Leandre and American violinist India Cooke, recorded live, September 11th. 2004 at the Guelph Jazz Festival." ''FIREDANCE '' # RT 9327 "The music of this performance is no mere accomplishment, but a challenging necessity of survival in its purest form. It is the stuff of life, composition and improvisation. It is the firedance. In this meeting, we are points of light offering the highest good as we strive to touch the pulse of the universe. Our music starts from the spark of a unified spirit, ignited through the channeling of a small group of people, our audience, and represents in some way or another all the basic things we are in this world. It is the embodiment of humanity. What you hear in this offering is what and who we were that day on 9-11-'04, what we all were. It is perfection in and of those moments. Nothing more, nothing less. Music." - India Cooke "Joëlle Léandre and India Cooke performed in an intuitive, moving duet, showcasing their complete musicianship and mastery of their respective instruments. " ( One final note ) "Virtuosic French bassist Joelle Leandre appeared in a beautifully empathetic duet with under-rated violinist India Cooke, both showing how the rigors of classical training and wild improv impulses can be artfully blended, and with humor in the veins." ( Jazz Times Magazine ) Michel Passaretti Red Toucan Records / Cactus Records 720 Fleury ouest Montreal, Quebec Canada, H3L 1W3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdness Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Acoustic show, no PA so it was just the mics placed a couple of feet away or so from the players. I can only guess that it has been fully mastered and touched up but haven't gotten my hands on it yet to listen to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Been there, done that, ho, hum... Congratulations, Weirdness. How did this come about? Was is planned ahead of time, or did you give the band your recording, and they liked it and decided to make it commercial? How much production did they do to it? Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
