Accomplished composer and musician, Lindsay Cooper played in legendary experimental prog-rock bands like Henry Cow and in jazz ensembles like the Mike Westbrook Orchestra. She sadly passed away in 2013 but has left an incredible legacy of experimental jazz and rock music. She also founded the Feminist Improvising Group, scored feature films and wrote for television, dance, radio and theater.
On January 13th, ReR Megacorp will release Lindsay Cooper Rarities Volumes 1 & 2, which you can pre-order now. Make sure to check out other great titles from ReR Megacorp, including the aforementioned Henry Cow, plus critically acclaimed Faust, This Heat, Art Bears and several hundred other releases.
If you're fortunate enough to be highly mobile or live anywhere near London, you can also see an event on November 21st featuring four legendary bands coming together from points halfway across the earth to perform Lindsay’s music as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. Among the four is Henry Cow (1968-1978), who had previously said they’d never re–form. Lindsay's tremendous influence meant enough to change their minds.
