In 1967, with percussionist Han Bennink and pianist Misha Mengelberg, he co-founded the Instant Composers Pool (ICP), with which he regularly performed until 1973. He was a member of the Globe Unity Orchestra and the Gunter Hampel Group.

In 1974 he began leading the 10-piece Willem Breuker Kollektief, which performed jazz in a theatrical and often unconventional manner, drawing elements from theater and vaudeville[1]. With the group, he toured Western Europe, Russia, Australia, India, China, Japan, the United States, and Canada.

He was also known as an authority on the music of Kurt Weill. In 1997 he produced, with Carrie de Swaan, a 48-hour, 12-part radio documentary on the life of Weill entitled Componist Kurt Weill.

In 1974 he founded the record label BVHaast. Beginning in 1977, he organized the annual Klap op de Vuurpijl (Top It All) festival in Amsterdam. Haast Music Publishers, which he also operated, published his scores.

In 1992, Editions de Limon published the book Willem Breuker by J. and F. Buzelin in France. Uitgeverij Walburg Pers published a Dutch translation in 1994. BVHaast published the book Willem Breuker Kollektief: Celebrating 25 Years on the Road, which includes two CDs, in 1999.

In 1998, Breuker was made a Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion.
UN LINK catre un disc fantastic, Han Bennink jucand cu Breuker jocul cu margele de sticla, in Japonia anului 1984. fabulos…

presedintele Romaniei la aceeasi masa cu lazlo tokes…interesant! deci pana la urma tot cumparam de la americani f16!
altfel cum s-ar explica curajul refuzului mob republic of kossovo?! prin ce?
alungati-i de la putere!…. si in tara noastra va fi pace + candva, bunastare!

pentru aceasta postare am primit de la ion iliescu un disc rar cu muzica populara romaneasca scos la folkways (in 1951) sub egida lui Bela Bartok.
gasiti inside hore, brau, catece de nunta, doine si bocete. toate trase la fata locului, fields recordings – ca sa traduc pe intelesul tuturor. daca’s vorbi pa tiganeste m’ar intelege toti rumanii!!! ori nu vreau asta, nu’i asa!?

deci: A mare de tipar, a mic de mana

“the romanian national dance is the hora. it is a circular dance with many varieties & 1, 546 known names. the musicains play in the middle of a circle & the dancers sing the verses repeatedly. the dance has become symbolic of national brotherhood & unity.

an important place in rumanian folk music is held by the laments for the dead, the designation for which is boget. the women who are called to the funerals to bewail the dead are called bogitorre. relatives sometimes sing the lament but there are professional wailers who possess a rich repertory of laments. mostly they’re sung sans acompaniment but sometimes the voice is supported by a counterpoint flute.

the professional musician who for centuries has stored & continues to store the treasure of romanian folk music is the laotar or folk violinist who is also his own vocalist. a group of lauotars forms a taraf. these musicians are not to be confused with gypsy fiddlers & although a great them are gypsies. the musique they play is rumanian folk music. the word lauotar is derived from lauta meaning lute. their musicianship is highly developed & the best of these performers are true artists in their field.

the laoutar loves, plays & preserves with deep devotion the folk music of rumania. it was he who gave the collectors of folk music most of the material which enabled composers & musicologists to study this vast treasure of songs & dances which became the foundation of the work of practically every rumanian composer from the middle of the 18th century to this day.”

in opinia mea piesa the treshingfloor este cel mai bun cantec difuzat de mine, pana acum, in nomansland, in acest an.
am precizat termenii, am spus pana acum, noul Tool inca nu a aparut pe nicaieri.
dar tot discul straluceste! asa ca’l aveti aici.
eugene edwards va deschide pentru tool. la concertul asta o sa merg si eu!
nomansland ruleaza toata vara.

este tot ce pot spune despre dezgustatorul mes en place comis de multimea de cretini care s-au exprimat televizual in aceste zile fecaliere.
