Well, I did, and it's highly recommended; very energetic, very groovy and funny. Highlights include covers from Prince, Beatles, and more fun with Macarena alla Berstein. There's an outstanding blues I can't recall the name. Also great playing from Briggan Krauss on alto sax and John Medeski on a couple of tunes. No tracks drag for me. Happy listening!

Briggan is getting better and better and it was really a pleasure to see them being able to mix free blowing on top of a fairly mainstream base. As a result, they caught both types of audiences: the (supposed) demanding one, and the regular one which just came to have a good time. The first set was more challenging, with more free playing and less predictable moments. They ended up to do mainly covers during the second set (and it was becoming a little bit boring to my taste), but the public was so enthousiastic that I could not blame them for switching to more accessible material (and trying to please the public that was really reacting to their music). They had a great success and they deserve it. Patrice. - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 18:51:59 +0000 From: "Scott" Subject: New Naked City?

While many of us are drooling at the prospect of seeing this, it might be good form to check with The Man Himself before posting -- often an author/composer/etc will give something to someone (or let that person copy/tape/etc it) without intending it to be disseminated more widely. Since Zorn tends to be keenly aware of these things, he may or may not allow it, but will almost certainly have a relevant opinion. Also: sending attachments to a mailing list is often a problem, since many people use mail readers that cannot handle them. It would be more useful (and consume a lot less bandwidth) to put the file somewhere Web-accessible and email the URL to the list. - - ---------1---------1---------1---------1---------1---------1---------- |||/ Joseph Zitt ===== jzitt@humansystems.com ===== Human Systems \||| ||/ Maryland? = <*> SILENCE: The John Cage Mailing List <*> = ecto \|| |/ http://www.realtime.net/~jzitt ====== Comma: Voices of New Music \| - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 14:08:07 EST From: Sulacco@aol.com Subject: Re: cobra rules (was Re: Morricone & Trovaioli & Cobra) In a message dated 3/2/99 2:04:46 PM Eastern Standard Time, jzitt@humansystems.com writes: > While many of us are drooling at the prospect of seeing this, it might be > good form to check with The Man Himself before posting -- often an > author/composer/etc will give something to someone (or let that person > copy/tape/etc it) without intending it to be disseminated more widely. > Since Zorn tends to be keenly aware of these things, he may or may not > allow it, but will almost certainly have a relevant opinion. good point. hadn't really considered that. don't wanna step on any toes, that's 4 sure. > Also: sending attachments to a mailing list is often a problem, since many > people use mail readers that cannot handle them.

The groupo was in essence a pick-up band with peter Apfelbaum (reeds), Tom Rainey (d) and a bassist who shall remain nameless. Anyways the bassist seemed to be a frsh-outa-school kid who wasn't too sure of himself, but Bernstein lead him and the other members through the somewhat-unfamiliar material in such a way that the overall impression was of a fine show.

I can only guess it is the guy who wrote that Graveyard of Honour piece, but surely someone out there knows for certain... And while on the subject of T.T. names, I went to a concert a little while ago which featured a work by Toru Takemitsu. It was kind of slow and quiet, not what you would expect considering he was listed on Radio as an influence for Terkmani Teepee.

We should support these publications so that they'll stay around and continue to do good work. But. Let me suggest something a little unhip also. Why not petition the larger publications to cover more interesting artists than whoever's in the top 40 this week? If there were enough people to write in, they would have to take some kind of notice that there was a hunger for this.

I bought it unheard, because of the local connection (Briggan Krause). I put it on, and the band nearly jumped out of the stereo, going for my neck. They REALLY wanted me to listen to what they were doing! I nearly jumped out of my chair. I was really looking forward to their Seattle appearance last Sunday. The music was both substantial and fun. Patrice, you're right - Briggan just sounds better and better. It was a great show, and everyone on the scene was there. There was one thing I was dissapointed about though. Zony Mash was to open the show, but Wayne Horvitz was sick and couldn't make it. I was looking forward to Wayne sitting in with Sex Mob, which certainly would have happened. Also, Sex Mob only did one set. I can see why Sex Mob might have an off night if Steven is not really on. He really dominates, "conducting" the band pretty closely. He encouraged people on a lot, but a couple of times he told Kenny to shut up pretty abruptly. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun on the bandstand Sunday night, but I could easily see it going the other way if Steven were pissed off or something. - - Dave - ----- Original Message ----- From: DR S WILKIE To: Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 1999 7:19 AM Subject: Re: Sex Mob / Herbie Nichols >has anyone out there heard Sex Mob?
