Hi,

I just heard the same from Linley Marthe after the Zawinul / Syndicate concert
in Århus, Denmark, on april 17. He's supposed to have suggested him to Joe. If
this is gonna be a reality, that would be remarquable on many points:

1) first time for long time that we would see, to take up Miles Davis
footprints, a *white* drummer in a Z rhythm section.

2) more seriously; Stéphane Galland is known as the excellent drummer in the
belgian band Aka Moon; this band has been setting new standards for years now,
partly influenced by Steve Coleman's musical ways but also including many cross
cultural experiences from Pygmeas to India; quite a serious link to be noticed
by Z ! He is furthermore an unavoidable partner on the belgian jazz scene and is
present on so many different projects, from Aka Moon to Octurn (also related to
Steve Coleman's music via trombonist Geoffroy De Masure who worked and played
with him). He has recorded on the belgian labels Carbon 7 and Dewerf among
others.

If anyone wants to check him out, contact me offlist and I will give you all
necessary information.
