Will forever be grateful for his label of astounding interpretations of really great works: CP². There's about 2 dozen releases and every one is an absolute gem. “Piano Space” - the 3-LP set of contemporary piano music performed by Aki Takahashi changed my life in the mid-70s and I remember loaning it out to anyone that I thought needed to have their life changed as well. Zukofsky and Cage appeared to get along rather well. Zukofsky helped him realize what could be done with the violin - even tho Zukofsky claimed that the first Freeman Etudes that Cage had composed for him were "unplayable." Irvine Arditti, afterwards showed that they were indeed playable (saw him do this in concert - had to pick my jaw up off of the floor). Rod ***** Now Playing: Moondog - Tap Dance from: Moondog |
