About Dickie Landry

Saxophonist and flutist Dickie Landry's story is about as far-flung as one can imagine, moving from white R&B in the American South to improvised and contemporary minimal / process music in New York during the 1970s, all the while hanging around with the primary figures in New York's post-minimal and concept art scene. Though less visible from the 1980s onward, Landry has recently returned to his Louisiana homeland and splits his time between playing in a popular swamp-pop band and reinvestigating what made his playing so desirable to people like Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson. Landry’s own music from the 1970s is a fascinating amalgam of minimalism, free jazz, and psychedelia, indicative of the kind of omnivorous creativity that pervaded Downtown Manhattan at that time.
