Gaétan Hart

Buckingham ,Québec

Gaëtan Hart (born November 9, 1953) is a former lightweight/welterweight boxer from Canada, who was a three-time boxing champion for his country. He lost his only world title fight against Aaron Pryor in 1980. Boxer Cleveland Denny died 16 days after being knocked out by Hart in 1980.[1]

In 1992, he was featured in a National Film Board of Canada documentary, the Steak, by Pierre Falardeau. He now runs a Gatineau (Hull, Quebec) boxing club.

An article on Hart appeared in the April 1979 The Ring magazine.

Gladys Lazer

NYC / Tel Aviv, Israel

ex-drummer for Yonatan Gat / post-jazz / kraut rock freak-out

Gladys Lazer blends the experimental with the harmonious. Widely known for his virtuosic otherworldly drumming, Lazer creates melodic delights with rampaging drum patterns and flourishing soundscapes. The results are combustible energy capsules of impressionistic, multi-sensory sound paintings.
