To make the first try-out the orchestra has invited Gunter Schuller, a famous conductor of his time in 1997 that was a later followed by the concert feat. Igor Butman. “Le Club band” leader, in 1999, who joined the “big band” for the international jazz festival. after the show he marked: “Tbilisi Big Band” sounds very contemporary, comprises professional musicians and definitely benefits from the talent of Givi Gachechiladze. In 2000 the big band had an opportunity to work with famous Roy Aires at international jazz event, who at the end of the show marked: “the bog band was fantastic”. In 2002 a joint project together with Bob Mintzer mentioned that the Tbilisi municipality Orchestra was the best among those he had ever worked with and that it has become possible thanks to the efforts rendered by Givi gachechiladze.The big band has entered international jazz space by winning the tittle of the best jazz orchestra of 2006 in Monte Carlo.

Public Health

I wonder what it would be like if my country had not cut funding for music, art,lunch and breakfast programs in public schools? I wonder what it would have been like if access to public health programs were available for everyone? I wonder what my country would be like if it had not wasted trillions in dollars and millions in lives to fund the military to fight wars that made no sense? I wonder if those in my country will ever get it?

TéTé

Performance: Aleatoric/Ambient/Experimental

I don’t have any philosophy, but all my life I’ve dreamt that i can fly, and that I know what it means to fly. In lots of dreams I leave earth. I often dream that I’m in a surrounded by people in tuxedoes, holding drinks in their hands, and I know I could shut them all up in one go. They don’t want me there.Then I’m on tiptoes and I let myself go, I just take off and I end up on the ceiling. And then … I swoop down to the floor and fly up again, and everyone says, “Oh!” Then I turn elegantly at the wall. I dream that the people are all speechless, watching me, a man, fly. Or I dream that I’m flying over mountains. That’s a classic. My Music has shown it from the start. In the studio I close my eyes, I ave my hand on the fader, and I try to form the sounds. I send them through the speakers like a bird flying. That’s not a philosophy, more like primitive dream to make the music fly because I’m flying.

Stranger Things Have Happened?


Tonight I am writing this not knowing if anyone is reading this or not. If so, give me a shout out! I am trying to get back in to blogging again.I am in such a different place than i was two years ago.

Anyway I am sitting in classroom awaiting for class to get out. Which has nothing to do with what I am wanting to write about. many, many years ago I met someone. Needless to say it did not work out. I went on to have a good life. And she went on and had a good life. Then about two weeks ago out of the blue this person emails me and asked it I was who I was. AND I will be damned!

Anyway it is an interesting adventure to catch up. It has been over 25 years. So anyway.

In someways we change and in a moment we are the same… Something to think about.

I do not know about the future but it is fun catching up:)

No not that, too many miles away!
