Richard Teitelbaum

He was also involved with world music and used Japanese, Indian, and western classical instruments and notation in both composition and improvisational settings.

Born in New York City, Teitelbaum remembered listening to his father (a successful lawyer) play piano while he was a child.

[5] In 1970, he returned to the US to study Ethnomusicology at Wesleyan University; while there he founded the World Band (one of the first inter-cultural improvisatory ensembles) with the master musicians teaching in that program.

[7] Teitelbaum also collaborated with Anthony Braxton, Nam June Paik, Joan Jonas, Andrew Cyrille, Leroy Jenkins, Steve Lacy, Alvin Lucier, and David Behrman, among many others.
