Here's excerpts from a recent thread on the Zorn list: - -Lou I stumbled across the following news of Bill Frisell which, oddly enough, ties into the Elvis Costello / Burt Bacharach thread that's been working its way through the Zornlist lately: << For those who have been wondering when Bill Frisell was going to make an appearance in their city anytime soon, we here at Songline / Tone Field, wanted to let you know that he has taken this year "off" from touring and spent the last 6 months (and will spend the next 5 or 6) in a state of hyper productivity. Some of the results of that activity can be heard on the upcoming (next year) Elvis Costello - Burt Bacharach CD on the jazz label Verve which features Frisell's arrangements of the same 12 tunes Elvis and Burt have recorded together on their pop record for Mercury. The Verve record is produced by Lee Townsend and features Bill on guitar, Viktor Krauss on bass, Brian Blade on drums and a horn section comprised of Curtis Fowlkes on trombone, Ron Miles on trumpet, Don Byron on clarinet and Billy Drewes on saxophone. There's rumor that some pretty big name vocalists may contribute their talents to a couple of the tunes, but the cat isn't out of the bag on that just yet. Both records are due to be released in early 1999.>> # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 19:57:46 +0200 From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: other music www address >From: Jane Tunks > >Please, can someone email me the Other Music website address. http://www.interactive.net/~tomc visit the"Shoppinquarium", the Mailorder Links page on my web site: Johan quiet@village.uunet.be | ) / \ | ) / \ | ) / \ | ) / \ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 19:47:36 +0200 From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: Hank Levine, Sing Along With JFK oddity >From: Lou Smith >I think Levine worked on the Sing Along With JFK oddity. does anyone have that lp? i simply _must_ find a copy of it! ;-) i won't find the original, but a cd or MD or DAT copy would be perfect for me. traders welcome!

And as original as his music is, of course there's a lot that's familiar about it too. So I got to wondering if I could make a tape of stuff that reminded me of Lee. So I started paying more attention to all this quasi-country that you see in delete bins and a lot of which I already have in my "collection". All this country from the seventies mostly. Stuff that in its time was sort of the equivalent of "New Country".Stuff that I'm having a very very hard time characterizing or classifying. In any case, I can't say it's country and I can't say it reminds me of Lee Hazelwood but I would like to recommend JOE SOUTH. Not just for the obvious hits like "Games People Play" either. There's something unclassifiable about his "quasi country rock with electric sitar" sound, which makes him a perfect candidate for exoticat rediscovering. I'm not saying "if you like Lee Hazelwood, you'll like Joe South" but I think you have to have a taste for the arcane to like Lee so maybe you would like Joe too. Oh and by the way, I started to make the tape and I put some BOBBIE GENTRY on it, from this album I have called "Touch em with love". And I can't remember what people here were saying about HANK LEVINE but he produced a few songs on this record. The other producer on the record is DON TWEEDY and I just bought an instrumental record by him called "Love theme from Romeo and Juliet" (with liner notes by Quincy Jones) and he does a surprisingly cool version of "Oliver"... which will go on a tape as soon as I can figure out how to finish this "reminds me of Lee Hazelwood" tape.

He was 91. Autry died at 8 a.m. today. The cause of death was not immediately announced, but Autry had been in failing health for some time. Autry parlayed a guitar and a horse named Champion into a career that included 95 films, and then built a financial empire composed of a radio network, television stations, a chain of hotels and the ownership of the California Angels major league baseball team. Autry's films of the 1930s, '40s and '50s were typically packed with action and thin on romance. He always played himself, wore a white hat, never shot first, and never drank, smoked or kissed the leading lady. Although he gained his early fame as a radio singer Autry led the popularity poll of Western stars for several years and is the only Western star to be listed among the 10 top moneymakers in Hollywood films (1938-42). With the baseball team he bought in 1960, Autry turned loose his energies and opened wide his vast financial resources to produce a winner. He poured out huge financial bonuses to untried youths, purchased players left and right, hired successful former Dodger executives to run the show. Yet for 18 years the man who seemingly had everything went without the one thing he wanted to climax his career: a World Series ring. He sold the team to a group headed by Disney. Autry's first wife, Ina Mae Spivey, died in 1980; in 1981 he married Jacqueline Ellam. He had no children by either marriage. LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Gene Autry, who parlayed a $5 mail order guitar into a career as Hollywood's first singing cowboy, died today. He was 91. Autry, who also built a multimillion-dollar fortune in broadcasting and was the original owner of the California Angels baseball team, died at his home in the city's Studio City neighborhood, said Karla Buhlman, vice president of Gene Autry Entertainment. His death came less than three months after the death of his great rival, Roy Rogers. Though a pennant for his Angels eluded him, Autry succeeded at just about anything he undertook: radio, records, songwriting, movies, TV, real estate and business. He first sang on radio in 1928, and then went on to make 95 films and star in a TV show from 1950 to 1956. He also cut 635 records, including ``Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' and his signature ``Back in the Saddle Again,'' which was back on the charts in 1993 as part of the soundtrack to the hit movie ``Sleepless in Seattle.'' Autry hung up his performing spurs in 1956, but continued to own four radio stations, the Gene Autry Hotel in Palm Springs, and several other properties. In 1982, he sold Los Angeles television station KTLA for $245 million. He ranked for many years on the Forbes magazine list of the 400 richest Americans, before he fell in 1995 to the magazine's ``near miss'' category with an estimated net worth of $320 million. Autry, who once turned down a chance to play in the minor leagues, had been the Angels' owner since the team was formed as an American League expansion franchise in 1961. In spring 1995, Autry announced that the Walt Disney Co. was buying a part interest in the team, and the following year Disney took operating control. Recent baseball seasons ended as all seasons have ended for the Angels, with Autry still awaiting the team's first World Series appearance. Disney had an agreement to acquire Autry's remaining share of the team at his death. Throughout his business dealings, Autry collected Western memorabilia and art. In December 1988, the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, built largely with funds from Autry's foundations, opened in Los Angeles' Griffith Park. ``I felt that I owed something. The West has been very kind to me over the years,'' Autry said at the time. He called the museum, which covers the West from prehistoric times to Hollywood, a gift to the world rather than a monument to himself. Among the items in the $54 million museum are an 1870s-era steam fire engine from Nevada, guns owned by Annie Oakley and Wyatt Earp, and costumes of TV's Lone Ranger and Tonto. He first came to Los Angeles in 1934 to appear with Ken Maynard in a movie called ``Old Santa Fe.'' ``I was the first singing cowboy in that picture,'' Autry once said. ``John Wayne had made an earlier movie in which he played a singing cowboy, but he didn't do his own singing.'' It was the heyday of the Western, and Autry was ranked top Western star at the box office from 1937-43, and in 1940-42 he was in the Top 10 of all movie box office favorites. Smiley Burnett was popular as Autry's comic sidekick, and Autry's horse, Champion, also was an audience favorite. Rogers replaced Autry as Republic Studios' top cowboy when Autry took time out to serve as a flier in the Army Air Corps during World War II. After the war, he went over to Columbia Pictures and obtained a new partner -- Pat Buttram. Among his postwar pictures were ``The Last Roundup,'' 1947, and ``Riders in the Sky,'' 1949. After Rogers died July 6, Autry called it ``a terrible loss for me. I had tremendous respect for Roy and considered him a great humanitarian and an outstanding American.'' Autry's broadcasting career included appearances on the ``Melody Ranch'' CBS radio show, beginning in 1939. From 1950-56, he was host of ``The Gene Autry Show'' on CBS-TV, one of the first television series made by a motion picture star. Autry's records sold more than 40 million copies. His first gold record was ``That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine.'' ``Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'' has sold 10 million copies and is a Christmas perennial. He wrote many of the songs he performed. Autry was born Sept. 29, 1907, in Tioga, Texas, and grew up in the small Oklahoma town of Ravia. As a boy, Autry occasionally earned spending money singing at local nightspots and with the extra cash, he invested in a mail order guitar and taught himself to play. By 18, Autry was working as a telegrapher on a St. Louis to San Francisco railroad line. It was here that he met comedian Will Rogers who had heard Autry strumming on his guitar and singing. ``You're good,'' Rogers is said to have told Autry. ``Stick to it, young fellow, and you'll make something of yourself.'' Autry began singing on radio shows in 1928 as ``Oklahoma's Yodeling Cowboy.'' In the early '30s, he was a success on the popular ``WLS Barn Dance'' in Chicago. Among the honors accorded to Autry over the years was the naming of an Oklahoma town for him. Gene Autry, Okla., population 175, is about 20 miles west of Ravia. Autry stopped appearing in the movies and on television in the mid-1950s to concentrate on his businesses. In 1991, a letter written in the '30s came to light that said the performer had no future in Hollywood. The note from producer Al Levoy was found in the Republic Pictures archives. It said the young Autry needed to improve his acting, that a preliminary acting course was ``evidently wasted'' and that the actor needed darker makeup to ``give him the appearance of virility.'' Autry's response: ``A lot of that is true. I got better as I went along. I couldn't get any worse.''

The concert was part of their Raymond Scott Big Band Project. To my amazement only 80 or 90 people showed up for this unique concert, but the performance of Gert-Jan Blom and his 15-piece orchestra was absolutely great. On some occassions it was obvious that some of the pieces were slightly under-rehearsed, but the enthousiasm of the musicians more than compensated for this. The fact that most of the tunes (with titles like 'The bullfighter & his piccolo", "two young lads in a saxophone school" and "Dreary weather on 6th avenue") were never issued on commercial recordings by Scott and never played live since the 40's made this a truly thrilling musical event. And yes, it is great to hear "Powerhouse" performed live! If you ever get the chance to see the Beau Hunks live, don't miss it.

I almost forgot that a couple years ago I bought this vinyl compilation. I thought it was a funk/rare groove/dancefloor jazz comp.: something I like, but also that can wait for a couple of years before careful listening. Boy was I wrong!

So that I can write and tell them to produce more "good groove musik". I guess there must have been at least a vol. 1 out, but never saw it. Anyone knows something more? Pretty sure it comes out of Somewhere, Europe. If someone is interested in having it taped down, I'm ready, willing & able for a tape exchange. Just write me privately.

The Snake Tell It Like It Is (Columbia) - Al Wilson had a top 40 hit with this in 1968 DEL CLOSE How Do You Like Your Love? The Nervous Set (Columbia) - partner of John Brent (How To Speak Hip) and from the beatnik musical, featuring Larry Hagman, among others LALO SCHIFRIN Scorpio's Theme The Dirty Harry Anthology (Aleph) - absolutely chilling!!! THE FREE DESIGN Daniel Dolphin Bubbles (Siesta) - a good example of the odd lyrics The Free Design are known for JOHAN DALGAS FRISCH Sukiyaki Symphony Of The Birds (MGM) - delightful version of 1963 hit of Kyu Sakamoto featuring field recordings of tropical birds RAY MARTIN Thunderball Thunderball And Other Themes (RCA Camden) - have yet to score a Ray Martin LP that is disappointing. Look for "Martin Goes Latin", you'll think it's Esquivel UNKNOWN Eat To Live One Of One: Snapshots In Sound (Dish) - What a concept! Mark Fay and Melinda Simon compiled bits and pieces of "Recordio Discs" (record your own voice) to create this truly unique listening experience. ENNIO MORRICONE Twist Of The Spinsters Malamondo (Epic) THE POPPY FAMILY Which Way You Goin, Billy? A Good Thing Lost: 1968-1973 (What Are Records) - yes, Susan and Terry (Seasons In The Sun) Jacks, The Poppy Family. I never gave them a thought as a 15 year old in 1971. But now, here they are, rediscovered by me and sounding damn good sandwiched between Morricone and Haack. BRUCE HAACK School For Robots Hush Little Robot (Q.D.K. Media) - wowee! have not heard anything this weird since Joe Meek's "I Hear A New World". Highly recommended, but not for the swing crowd. HA HA HA HA! THE T-BONES No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In) No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In) (Liberty) - the alka seltzer jingle. If you are into the NOW SOUND, you may want to give them a try. The LP, "Sippin and Chippin" is full of cool organ, guitar and girly ooos and ahhs. 101 STRINGS Love Is Blue The Sounds Of Love (A/S Records) - some very sexy moans and groans by Bebe and some of the cheesiest spoken word by Joe something, I forgot his name. SAMMY DAVIS JR. Baretta's Theme Barnie's Grooves (Mood Mosaic) LIVING GUITARS Paint It Black Play Songs Made Famous By The Rolling Stones (RCA Camden) - the usually cheap and near mint "Living Series" has a number of very pleasant surprises ANTHONY QUINN In My Own Way In My Own Way, I Love You (Capitol) - great personality record of love and sissy stuff like that LLOYD GREEN The Cassions Go Rolling Along Day For Decision (Lil' Darlin) - steel guitarist going patriotic in theme RALPH PLATT It Took A Miracle The Birds Sing His Praise Volume 2 (Sacred) - on of those creepy religious records I continue to seek out. Platt whistles like a bird and Lorin Whitney supplies the haunting, funeral organ accompaniment. PETE DRAKE Happy Tracks Steel Away (Canaan) - another from the creepy religious record file. this time, steel guitar and I guess that is a sonovox he uses to make his gee-tar talk # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Oct 1998 15:09:59 +0200 From: Johan Dada Vis Subject: (exotica) Re: Shorty Rogers CD reissues "Afro-Cuban Influence" deleted? apparently, this one is already deleted...

There seem to have been albums by many artists with the title a-go-go, and films show people - - not necessarily young people - gyrating in noisy crowds with women in parrot cages around. Was there a distinct gap between the twist and go-go? Thanks, Hugh. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Oct 1998 12:10:38 -0400 From: "m.ace" Subject: (exotica) US TV grab-bag Suddenly, movies are coming out of the woodwork (eastern daylight times). "The Ruling Class" (1972) - Bravo - Sunday night (tonight!) - 9:00pm, 1:00am - An unusual dark satire with occasional song 'n' dance numbers. Peter O'Toole delivers one of his patented bizarre performances as a delusional British nobleman. "Shoot The Piano Player (1960) - Bravo - Monday night - 9:00pm, 1:00am - Noir from Truffaut, with Charles Aznavour as a pianist mixed up with gangsters. "Arabian Nights" (1942) - AMC - Tuesday night - 11:00pm - Another Sabu, Maria Montez, Jon Hall fantasy adventure. With Shemp Howard as Sinbad! "The Third Man" (1949) - AMC - Wednesday afternoon - 3:00pm - Maybe this time they'll really show it. "A Shot In The Dark" (1964) - AMC - Wednesday night - 10:00pm - The second Inspector Clouseau film. Music by Mancini as usual. "The Blue Angel" (1930) - AMC - Friday morning - 6:00am - Stodgy professor, Emil Jannings, makes a goof of himself over bad girl, Marlene Dietrich. Most likely to be the English language version. "Brazil" (1985) - Bravo - Friday night - 9:00pm, 1:00am - Terry Gilliam's wild retro-future fantasy. Supposed to air in letterbox format. "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" (1957) - AMC - Saturday morning - 10:00am - Jayne Mansfield and Tony Randall in another George Axelrod media satire. "Carnival Of Souls" (1962) - A&E - Early Sunday (Oct. 11) 7:00am and Early Monday (Oct. 12) 4:00am - The atmospheric yarn of a woman caught between two worlds. Loaded with spooky organ music. Creepiest part is actually the non-spectral neighbor who keeps trying to put the moves on her. Also, this Wednesday at 8:00pm & Midnight on A&E's Biography - "Wayne Newton, King Of Las Vegas". On a bummer note, Bravo is now interrupting their programming with commercial breaks. They've certainly skidded down the slippery slope from the days when they showed movies uncut and uninterrupted. :oP m.ace ecam@voicenet.com OOK http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #219 *****************************
