In what has to be one of the best interviews we’ve read in some time, Nenad Georgievski of All About Jazz converses with former Japan lead singer and one of the finest avant-songwriters of his generation, David Sylvian.

El Ciclo has a chat, in Spanish of course, with the Madrid-based jazz photographer Sergio Cabanillas. We found this link on the jazz_sp mailing list, so if someone there remembers who posted it, they are due credit for the link.

Andrew McKenzie is one of the most fascinating composers operating today.  He has been the core (and indeed, these days the only member) of the Hafler Trio, a project he has headed (along with former collaborator Chris Watson of Cabaret Voltaire) for over 30 years.  Though in poor health these days, he continues to release seminal music, and his body of work manages to stay in print.  His importance to the world of experimental music is immeasurable.

The video is from an interview for a Brazilian television program.  Thanks to Ivica Smolić for posting this on the h30 Mailing List, dedicated to discussion about Hafler Trio and Andrew.
