I mentioned this over at Funny Rat, but he deserves a topic of his own:

Luc Ferrari produced the excellent series 'Les Grandes Repetitions' for the French TV.

One of the films featured Cecil Taylor and was shot in Paris in 1966 when Cecil Taylor has Jimmy Lyons, Alan Silva and Andrew Cyrille in his Unit.

The Cecil Taylor film is one of the best jazz show ever filmed. Ferrari produced this film which was directed by Ferrari's usual partner Gerard Patris.

Ferrari's death is very sad news.

Sad news. I thought he made some really interesting accoustic-electric music.

[Brandon Burke]

sad news indeed. he will be missed.

I have some photos from last June 17 at La Chaux-de-Fonds

when he was there to premiere a new work

and to introduce a new documentary about himself.

His wife should see the photos first tho. She's been on vacation.

He came to Austin, Texas last year too -

...a highly unlikely occurence that actually happened.

Texas?

sad news indeed...

Wow! Very sad news.

I think I'll spin the Interrupteur/Tautologos 3 CD as I drift into sleep.

[clifford_thornton]

Shit.

RIP.

Wait, you can sleep to that shit?

[alejo]

Yeah, go figure. I find this type of music comforting.

Good think I have headphones or else I'd be sleeping in another state.

[Kalo]

Another innovator gone.

RIP Luc.

Your legacy was both "Presque Rien" and anything but.
