Chez DAMASE

The Unofficial Website of Jean-Michel Damase

"What remains as one of the minor mysteries of the last half-century of musical history is the fact that, for all the immediate attractiveness of his compositional voice, the work of Jean-Michel Damase has remained such a well-kept secret."
Christopher Morley
from his program notes for
Piano Music by
Jean-Michel Damase
