Did anyone in the Chicago area attend the MCA concert this Sunday? It was a double bill of the Sainkho Namtchylak (sp?) Trio preceded by The White Hole. The White Hole is a new music piece composed by Dafeldecker and Kurzmann, and it featured Kurzmann on computer processing, Sainkho Namtchylak on voice, and Stangl, Coleman, Dafeldecker, Jeb Bishop?, and Moser on guitars. I don't really know how to describe the piece -- it sounded like the last two pieces on Stangl's "Recital" multiplied by 5 with Namtchylak adding soft, beautiful sounds every now and then. The audience hated it. Many walked out, talked to their neighbors, and laughed contemptuously. I was very disappointed with Sainkho's set afterwards. It consisted of her singing over hip-hop beats and traditional instruments. Nothing incredibly exciting. I was reminded a little of Sola's "Blues in the East," which is much more successful in mixing different styles. Plus/Minus and Marilyn Crispell will be performing Oct. 1, I think at the Hothouse. Also Tim Berne is giving a free show at the Cultural Center on the 3rd.

Newman uses good people on this disc (like Oscar Brashear and numerous other jazz people), and since he credits Marty Krystall as Martin Krystall, listing Gregory instead of Greg wouldn't surprise me.

If this is what you're loking for it seemns to be on LondonHall do 13, not hatNow. A note at the bottom of the page says : "this four CD set is not likely to be available until October 1999". Oh, and Prevost played great that weekend, both solo and in a workshop with four other percussionists.

I just got back from the Sainkho gig at the Knit and agree with what you have to say here. It started off with three duets with Ned Rothenberg, which were great, but then continued with her band doing the new age world pop stuff. I'm a pretty big Sainkho fan and am really impressed with her determination to explore new musical territory in the face of her native tradition, but her pop projects are a little much for me. Still, I think she is an incredibly strong and powerful human being and was pretty moved by just her presence on stage. -Tom Pratt listening to: Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs (Merge) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Then it's worth mentioning that Frisell is scheduled to play Yoshi's in Oakland on (I believe) November 9th. One day after my birthday and one year after Masada played the SF Jazz Festival. I think perhaps I should not miss this show; it was hard enough missing the Baron/Ribot/Medeski gig. Any other Zornlisters going to the Faust show in San Francisco on Oct. 26th?
