about

Today my guest is French contrabassist, vocalist, improviser and composer Joëlle Léandre.

When she first emerged on the european musical scene in the 1970’s, as a young conservatory student, she was quickly recognized as a major figure. She’s gone on to a career which has helped to define the nature of contemporary european music, both as an improviser deeply influenced by American free jazz, and as a sought-after virtuosic interpreter of the works of contemporary composers such as Cage, Feldman, Scelsi, Xenakis, Boulez and many more. She was playing in San Francisco recently after an absence of nearly ten years, at which time she made many friends and fans in the Bay Area with a long residency at Oakland’s Mills College. We started our conversation talking about her early days at the Conservatory in Paris around 1970.
