Need your help: Slava Ganelin

[White Lightning]

A friend of mine is suppose to interview the pianist slava Ganelin.

I'm hoping to collect many fascinating questions for this interview, plus any suggestions for research sources into Galenin's work.

Thanks!

I'd think it might be interesting to hear how first hand exposure to "Free World" culture changed his musical philosophy, if indeed it did. One of the things that made the Ganelin trio so powerful was the context that their music was created in and was reacting to. I'd think that finally being able to get out/away from the environment that forged their esthetic might have resulted in some interesting internal changes.

Or not. But if you don't ask, you'll never know.

Thanks, Jim!

A great Q.

Keep them coming!

[Dmitry]

Wow. Noone gives a damn.

That's what happens if you don't tour the US...

[JSngry]

I saw the Ganelin Trio perform live on the Today show. They played "Mack The Knife".

[Dmitry]

That was during the Carter years?

[JSngry]

Early 80s, if I remember correctly.

[Alon Marcus]

Just out of curiosity, what happened to that interview?

[White Lightning]

It never jappened...

[White Lightning]

Yet...

Early 80s, if I remember correctly.

Actually, in '86 I saw them in Chicago during their US tour.

I thought that I saw them before that in '78 at the Pick Staiger Hall,

but after some thought, I think that I'm remembering Paul and Limpe Fuchs instead

who are also great improvisers that were rarely seen in the US.
