Conversación con Jean-Marie Londeix
Jean-Marie Londeix, one of the most important and influential saxophonists of the last fifty years, discusses with William Street his life as a solo performer, the works which have been written for him, and his legendary saxophone school in Bordeaux. He will talk about the tremendous progress in saxophone technique in the last few decades, and some of the works which demonstrate this. Jean-Marie Londeix is a concert saxophonist and professor, from the Gironde region of France. He played piano and violin, but by the age of fourteen he had obtained a First Prize in saxophone from the Bordeaux Conservatory, and played in his family ensemble. In 1948 he began studying with Marcel Mule at the Paris Conservatoire, from where he graduated with the highest honours. As a concert soloist, recitalist; or conductor he has performed more than 600 concerts and there are over 250 works dedicated to him. |
