I meant something more like James Brown or Tower Of Power, musically. And
I've never seen someone dance in silence, so I can't say anything about

New Documentary on Free Jazz
2001-05-30
I am pleased to announce the completion of the documentary Inside Out In The
Open. It's an hour-long exploration into the music known as free jazz. I
finished the "fine-tuning" last week with a wonderful editor/technician in
Columbus, Ohio, so it now sounds and looks great.
This has been a project over 3 years in the making and will be an important
contribution to the discussion of the history of jazz music, especially in
light of the January PBS broadcast of Jazz by Ken Burns and the criticisms
of that series.
Inside Out In The Open integrates its subject matter into the form of the
documentary itself, creating a musically-driven examination of this music
through the words and performances of over 20 musicians. It is filled with
insights and surprises. It also gives recognition to important musicians who
were completely left out of the PBS/Burns program. This list includes Sun
Ra, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy, and the later work of John Coltrane.
Interviews with: Marion Brown, Baikida Carroll, Daniel Carter, Burton
Greene, Susie Ibarra, Joseph Jarman, William Parker, Matt Shipp, Roswell
Rudd, Alan Silva and John Tchicai. Performances by: Peter Brotzman, Denis
Charles, Glenn Spearman, In Order to Survive, Other Dimensions in Music, and
many of those interviewed.
Inside Out In The Open is my first major documentary and the first of two
examinations of this music. A second documentary focusing on the New York
Art Quartet is in production. The Art Quartet existed for only a year in
1964-65, but made a major contribution to the development of music. In 1999
they reconvened for a 35-year reunion. That documentary will be about that
group, the reunion, the community of musicians and artists in the early 60s,
and a portrait of these artists to the present.
A premiere showing of Inside Out In The Open is being planned for New York
City in the near future. I will also be entering it in film festivals and
having it shown in other non-commercial venues.
I will be sending out updates and further information on the details and
life of this new work. Feel free to ask questions if you're curious or need
more information. Reply to me at: insideoutintheopen@hotmail.com
Thank You,
Alan Roth

What's the deal with this new 3-CD set from Warner's. Is it Miles lending a
trumpet to Prince or is it Prince lending a guitar/vocals/etc. to Miles. Is
it an entire session or just a couple of tracks? I'm intrigued.

Subject: RE: Miles & Prince
Date: 01 Jun 2001 11:51:34 -0400
The rumors vary, and there have been several bootlegs on the collectors
market for a long time that purported to be the Prince and Miles sessions.
I've got one, and while it's not earth-shattering and doesn't really deliver
on its potential, it's definitely interesting.
Apparently, the truth is that only one genuine Prince and Miles track has
leaked out - "Crucial," I think. Vince, is that right? The rest of what
purports to be Prince and Miles is supposedly actually Prince's demos for
such a collaboration, with the trumpet parts ably played by his own sideman
Atlanta Bliss. (Skip, is he the one you once refered to having conducted?)
The story goes that Prince did submit a lot of material to Miles through
such self-recorded demos, and that Miles chose to re-record a number of them
with his own band. So supposedly among the material being considered for
the upcoming Rhino set - which is not entirely a Prince/Miles set, but a
retrospective of all of Miles' work for the label - is both the true
Prince/Miles session AND the Miles session with Prince's material but his
own band. Added to this, there is always the chance that there is material
that the collectors simply don't know about.
We'll all know soon enough, I guess.

This afternoon I actually wrote an article about their collaborations. I
found a very resourceful website at:
http://users.ids.net/~dmsr/davisthing.html
My piece is in Dutch and can be found at www.wanadoo.nl (I think it will be
placed this weekend)
The website I mention is written from a Prince point of view and cites a
number of situations in which the two of them actually came pretty close to
each other. I also called the European Warner Music press-representative,
but the album wasn't on the European releaselist yet.
On the official Prince-website (www.npgonlineltd.com) there however already
is the next statement:
"UNauthorized
Any track released by TIME WARNER by MILES DAVIS featuring PRINCE is highly
UNauthorized. Final production on master recordings never occurred. Nor were
split points."
Hmm, sounds interesting..

Illuminations is an incredible album. Santana with Alice Coltrane,
Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and others. Very much in tune
with A Love Supreme period John Coltrane.

At one point in the early '70s the Santana band was right up there with
Mahavishnu & Mwandishi as the most interesting jazz rock 'fusion' project on
the spiritual tip. At their best on Caravanserai (where is that remaster?),
Lotus (live from Japan), Borboletta and Welcome. As mentioned Carlos with
Alice Coltrane is essential, as is the slightly overblown Love Devotion &
Surrender with McLaughlin. Thereafter came a long decline into commercial
banality...

This is one of the best books on creative music I have *ever* read. It
deals with the music, but sets it in the context of real musicians
struggling to play creative music, make a living, and survive on an extended

Hemingway SOOOOOOOO much better after readin it. Anyone on this list who

I actually like Santana's recent hit SUPERNATURAL. The pursuit may not be
as lofty, but the band grooves really well and Carlos is plainly playing his
ass off to this day, esepcially live.
Seeing a double bill of him and Los Lobos (at the Greek -- I live in LA) was
110% exciting.

Not to stray to far from the relevant, but I'd like to
give props to OOIOO ("oh-oh-ee-oh-oh"?) for a
terrific, eclectic platter that, IMHO, avoids being
merely cute. It's really bizarre record, though much,
much more accessible than any Boredoms I've heard, and
considerably less, um, boring. Oh, yeah, I mention
the B'doms because Yoshimi from said band is in/behind

recent Boredoms record, VISION CREATION NEWSUN, might
be highly recommended too. Great fun.)

I almost completely agree. The only slight shortcoming IMO is the way
that G. Lock adapts to B.'s astrological and mystical views, at one time
using even a friend's horoscope for Braxton. Apart from that it really
is flawless and a great book.

Yes. An 'auotobiographer should alwaya adapt to his or her own views, or the

Yes, I think a biographer should stay true to his or her views and not
adjust too much to his subject, a stance which is called "critical
distance", because otherwise the outcome will easily be hagiographic.
And yes, I really have a problem with Braxton's leaning towards
esoterics, although I wouldn't call it "rubbish" as you polemically try
to imply I did. Anyway, it's quite astounding that few (if any)
journalists who appreciate Bs music, have questioned his views in this
regard - a fact that has already been discussed here two or three months
ago.

Scratching my head at these comments...certainly if you liked the first 3
Santana records, which I also consider to be essential, it follows you would
have enjoyed his progression into jazzier regions, and if you think Carlos
is 'playing his ass off' now, I'm sure you need to check out his playing on
Lotus. As for McLaughlin, without even considering Miles (Jack Johnson!) or
Mahavishnu, you might want to listen to Extrapolation (certainly one of the
finest records to come out of the '60s British jazz scene), Where Fortune
Smiles, My Goal's Beyond & Devotion. And John is 'plainly playing HIS ass
off' with the new incarnation of Shakti...

I think that first band he had was really special. But I think his jazzier
stuff showed his blues roots less, and I most enjoy CS as a blues guy
reaching that idiom out to other places. In many ways, I feel the same
about Hendrix.
In the case of John McLaughlin, I've never been a fan, no matter how much
I've tried, except JACK JOHNSON and the first LIFETIME album, and I love
both. He's probably a genius, but I think he's speaking a different
language than I speak.

How do you know GL was not staying true to his views?
How is presenting data from a perspective espoused by the subject not in
full accord with critical distance? Since Braxton believes in mystical
reality, to present data from the arena in which he is interested, and about
which he has written volumes, seems fair game. I found the numerology stuff
very interesting regardless of whether or not I am personally into
numerology. It gave me more of an insider's look at how Braxton thinks and
what he thinks is relevant. This is not to say his perspective is above
criticism. But, fully understanding his position must precede such
criticism.

Speaking of CD packaging and storage dilemmas, I wonder if any of you have
had problems with the packaging of Sony box sets? When I bought the "Bitches
Brew Sessions" box it took three tries before I finally got a set without any
glue on the discs. Fine. But a couple days ago I pulled the box out and was
shocked to discover that the glue holding the back of two CD sleeves together
had separated. Two had rolled into the gap formed and the glue left on the
cardboard fused to the CD surface, making the last track(s) on each CD
unplayable. I've called Sony Customer Service to complain but haven't heard
back from them yet. Anybody had to resolve an issue like this with them?
What happened?
All I know for sure at this point is that if/when I replace the set, I'm for
sure gonna use some kind of inner sleeve to protect the discs from such an
occurence in the future.

replaced...only to have the same problem (glue sticking to the discs) happen
again a month later. I gave up and have put the CDs in their own paper

the inner sleeves are messed up and can potentially ruin the discs.

This is obviusly a very shallow article. For one thing, the article hardly
scratches the suface of what europe has to offer, and discusses names that
have been around for some years. It also tries geographically to determine
where the future of jazz lies("The future of jazz" being the phrase that
always cracks me up), which in itself is quite humourous. However, the thing
we have to consider when reading the article in queston is that it is
written by a journalist whos preconcieved opinion is that the reader does
not have a very good overview of neither European nor American jazz history.
Or at least it seems like that.
The truth about the European jazz scene is that the jazz/house(or
whatever)-thing is passè, or to put it differently,it has moved into the
mainstream, and I think THAT is the story here. There are more interesting
things happening in europe, and it revolves more around free improvisation,
which obviously is nothing new, but it is being approached differently than
it has been done before. I feel that the traditions of both American and
European free jazz are being absorbed by a lot of young european players
today and a lot of interesting styles emerges. Again, nothing new, but quite
nice(some of it). I am Norwegian, so my knowledge is mostly based on the
Norwegian scene, but I can say that there is a lot of interesting things
going on with sofa records, the Oslo jazz club blå, and the record label

Justin Broadrick (who has played with Painkiller)is most certainly a
"jazz-freak," as is his close artistic associate Kevin Martin. Check out
the side project _God_ preferably the album "Posession" (with Zorn and
Prevost) to see just how much of a jazzfreak Broadrick is, and the other
_God_ albums "Anatomy of Addiction" and its remix "Appeal to Human Greed"
for electric era Miles Davis comparisons.
Much more detailed information and more at:

Anyway, you've peaked my curiosity with the announcement of the title of the

Their 'thing' is to play long pieces which slowly develop through small
changes. So someone plays an idea, the others eventually join in, and then
the idea might change a bit, etc... and so through these tiny increments,
the piece may be unrecognisable half an hour later... The cds are generally
a different story because they overdub organ, samples, and various other
things. From my experience, your best bet would be to see them live, but if
you really want to hear their stuff first, maybe 'Aquatic', 'Sex' or 'Silent
Night' would be good choices. There is also a live cd 'Piano Bass Drums'
which is ok but it's not really like being there...

I just got my samples from the two

not.
I'm Music Librarian for a local

over 20,000 CDs right now.
Does anyone know if the Tyvek backing
is archival safe? Or do y'all know
where I can learn more about archival
quality storage for CDs.
On first glance the jewelsleeve
looks good, except that the height and
width dimensions are larger than a CD
(the thickness is obviously much smaller).
Which has the side-effect on not fitting
on our current shelves, or in our current
cabinet drawers....so switching would
entail all new cabinetry/shelves. Ouch!
Are there other solutions folks know about
that include storage of the traycard in
addition to the booklet and CD?

I missed this message the first time around and have since purchased a
copy. From some of the packaging, the copy i got looked like part of a set
(it was also a cutout), so it SEEMED like there may have been an earlier
release.
Are those really THE instructions? They seem like a kind of map, but
hardly enough instructions to tell the 'prompter' how to use it. There
must also be 'execution' instructions, no?

Dave still has a contract with RCA. The Witness album will be out on August
21 on the newly revived (God knows why) RCA Bluebird imprint. I know there
were unfavorable reports from Victoriaville, but I've had an advance of this
disc for a while now, and I continue to think that it's one of Dave's
strongest statements and perhaps the most organic unifications of all of his
various interests to date. Maybe he plays too little for some tastes, but I
think the album is a drop dead winner. Plus, everyone will enjoy the guest
vocalist on "Mahfouz" - Tom Waits, in an extended narration not worlds
removed from "what is he building in there?"
Dave's album of dance suites for the Trisha Brown Dance Company - which
features Charms of the Night Sky, another quartet with Greg Tardy, Greg
Cohen and Susie Ibarra, and a final suite with both groups combinesd - is
not going to be available in stores for some months, maybe not even until
next year. But it's already been manufactured, and will be available
exclusively via the live performances at the Lincoln Center Festival and, to
non-New Yorkers, through Dave's website at www.davedouglas.com.
Dave's final album of his four-disc deal with RCA will feature the "New
Quintet" and will most likely be out next spring.
As for the Songlines disc, Tony Reif might want to chime in himelf on that
one. But it wouldn't surprise me if it's been delayed just a tad,
especially given that Songlines is distributed by Allegro, one of the three
distributors that's been frozen out of Tower Records. I'd imagine that that
might account for a substantial portion of that disc's potential market, and
therefore maybe the disc is on some sort of temporary hiatus. But again,
I'm only speculating, and as I said, if he's still on this list, maybe Tony
will want to tell us what's up himself.

Not new recordings, but a new release is the Mosaic Sextet on the GM
Recordings label, featuring some of Dave's earliest sessions with a band
that included Mark Feldman, Joe Fonda and Michael Rabinowitz on (electric!)
bassoon. This is a fascinating 'period piece', and the band show some pretty
diverse influences, including Henry Cow & Magma. Prog jazz anyone?

'Kromoran' is a name of a bird, a 'cormororant', as my polish-english

I've never heard Xenakis, but the discussion about him on this list has
piqued my curiosity. Would the 2CD collection described below be a good
place to start?
Many thanks,
Tom
Iannis Xenakis 1: Chamber Music 1955-1990
This 2-CD collection of Xenakis' works composed 1955 - 1990 contains some of
the early works that people found wild and incomprehensible, among them
'Herma' (1961), for solo piano; 'Nomos Alpha' (1966), for solo cello; and
'ST/4' (1962), for string quartet. It also contains a large enough number of
works from the 1970s and 1980s that we get a sense of the progression of
Xenakis' style: 'Mikka' (1971), for violin; 'Evryali' (1973), for piano;
'Mikka S' (1976), for violin; 'Kottos' (1977), for cello; 'Ikhoor' (1978),
for string trio; 'Dikhthas' (1979), for piano and violin; 'Mists' (1980), for
piano; 'Embellie' (1981), for viola; 'Tetras' (1983), for string quartet;
'Akea' (1986), for string quartet and piano; 'a r.' (1987), for piano; and
'Tetora' (1990), for string quartet. It's a significant collection. And the
magnificent performers are the Arditti String Quartet, which is special in
its performances of 20th-century music, and the excellent Claude Helffer,
pianist.

Not to belabor the state of journalism today, but perhaps some might be
interested in the NY Times piece on the Vision Festival. Not bad but still
pretty amateur, which makes me conclude once again that I'd rather read the
Zorn list than what goes as high punditry in America's premier rag.

This is a great recording, but if you like the idea of
a long electro/acoustic tape piece traversing from
barely audible strands of sine tones to full-on
grinding and screaming, LA LEGENDE D'EER (which I
think was recently reissued [again] by
Montaigne-Naive). For nightmarish e/a
orchestral-spatial bombast, maybe KRAANERG or
PERSEPOLIS. I simply mention these as alternative
inroads to the spiky, angular chamber music on the
double CD.
Does anyone know what kinds of work the man was doing
the last ten or twenty years or so of his life? I
don't think I've heard anything newer than the late
Seventies.

The Times article was an enthusiastic endorsement of this music by a critic who was new to it, and a call to others looking for the real deal to go check it out. She was very complementary about the scene, and I thought said exactly the right things about the spirit with which one should approach it:
"Accessible? These tones were irresistible, though not easily absorbed. They challenged the habits of
listening, rerouting the path that sound travels from ear to mind. Perhaps so many find such music
irritating because, at its core, bewilderment is its gift. The questions it poses are bottomless."
I don't think that "sophisticated" criticism would have improved on that. Sometimes, as an old boss of mine once said, you just have to take yes for an answer.

I agree. I read the article and could not see what Bill's problem with it
was. She was writing as someone who's not familiar with the music but went
in with an open mind. And she was favorably impressed. How much more
sophisticated could/should she have been?

Agreed. Powers showed up for every night at the Knit (something I couldn't do as much as I love VF), ran around to the shows in the differerent rooms and spent hours interviewing the people behind it. She is new to this stuff but, unlike many other writers I've seen, she has the guts and honesty to
admit it. Unlike our friend Mr. Burns, she doesn't then brush it off but makes all-out attempts to embrace it. For a paper like the Times where many of the readers are in a similar position as she is, this kind of thing can only help VF I believe.
Best,

Funny you should mention these, because I just got De Natura Sonorum &

although that does includes the postage from France. The Parmegiani is

The electronic cd issued jointly by INA-GRM and the EMF filled out the cd
with a couple of newer pieces that were definitely not up to the standards
set by Bohor et al. They seemed more interested in actual pitch sets and
had a pretty homogenous timbre, which put the pieces more in the
bippity-boop-boop school of electronics. The great pieces (including the
original Nonesuch lp that was the primary subject of this cd) were layers
of different sounds, much more powerful.
There are also some pieces from the 1980s on the Asphodel orchestral sets,
which as I remember are on a par with his other instrumental works, but
overall I'm more familiar with the electronic pieces (the original Nonesuch
album was my starting point with Xenakis).

Hello Steve,
These news sounds a little bit weird.
Why the musician, who named as the best one in several categories and
for several years cannot release his albums like any other one?
Already recorded and even manufactured CDs are postponed. Why the
companies are treating him like that? I can understand the problems
with Songlines, but what's wrong with RCA? Is there any chance that
Dave Douglas will be able to release his music as fast as for example
Zorn? It would be nice to see his albums published by Tzadik in 2-3
months after recording.
Waits as a guest singer on Dave's album sounds amazing. I don't know
why anybody might think that "Witness" is boring. The concert last
summer was definitely the best one of Douglas I saw. It was so
exciting and powerful that it completely changed my opinion about his
own music, which I thought before was over-composed. It forced me to
listen to all his CDs again and gave me the impulse to understand it
from different level.

Subject: Miles and Plunderphonics
Date: 07 Jun 2001 08:38:57 +0100
I am not sure how many people on the list like the work of John Oswald. I
have seen that several people have got copies of the new Plunderphonic 69-96
set. I just wanted to say that I think that Oswald has been doing a
fantastic job. Until I heard this set I had no idea how thoughtful and
complex his music is (I had only heard Plexure and Grayfolded). I had seen
him as a kind of gifted prankster but this seems to place him in the realm
of the true avant garde. Each piece appears to have a careful plan adapting
and preparing his armoury for precise aims. The range of music across the 2
CDs is extraordinary. The whole thing is backed up by a real desire to take
the big record companies and the whole copyright issue head on. His samples
are never hidden, the whole point is you recognise them.
That said, let's not get too serious about this, there are some great funny
moments and the whole project is haunted by a wonderful sense of humour.
(The inside back cover pic of the licencing document going up in flames is a
finger to the industry.)
Oswald has clearly been taking great risks, but is determined to get his
work and its guerrilla assault on the music industry into the market place.
One way to attack the new world order is to plant viruses in their music.
However, the recent moves over the release of this set beat everything.
From Oswalds fONY music site he states:
prerecorded message:
The bad news is that my record label FONY, will not be releasing the
PLUNDERPHONICS box set after all. We've been unable to secure certain key
licensing deals. Rather than put out an emasculated version of the set,
we've decided not to publish it at all.
The good news is that my associates in Negativland, upon hearing of my
decision, have decided to liberate, or steal, depending upon your point of
view, the complete package, and release it on their label SEELAND. Several
months ago we sent them test pressings and a PDF of all the text and art,
for their perusal, and they will be using these materials, which are
digitally perfect replications of the masters, for manufacturing.
Since the new release plans do not entail licensing fees, the suggested
retail list price will, according to Negativland, plummet to one third of
the our original projected list price - the new retail list is $33.33 USD.
Negativland has made good on their promise that the box set will not be
changed or compromised in any other way. The package looks great.
I am happy to do nothing to prevent them from following through with this
scheme. Get it while you can!
: John Oswald
and Negativland put the following:
message from Netativ/Seeland:
In reference to the Plunderphonics box: Negativland has taken several steps
to insure that our release of this monumental work will not be hindered. We
have closed our formally undefendable mailorder box and moved it to Olympia
(P.O. Box 7218, Olympia, Wa. 98507) where we are now able to guard it with
private security. NO registered mail will be allowed to be dropped into this
box (DON"T attempt to contact us via registered mail!) and if they figure
out they need to use normal mail, we'll simply deny we ever got it. To
further protect our wrongly deligitimized art endeavors, all of
Seeland/Negativland has temporarily moved into alternative live/work
facilities at least until this product is out and on the shelves. Do not
contact us at our former addresses as we wont be there. We have already
retained what you might call a cadre of local renegade lawyers who are ready
and willing to immediately thwart any cease and desist orders, should they
actually get through to us.
I am sure there are people on the list who are well informed on this issue.
Is it really as serious as these message indicate or are the pranksters just
ratcheting up the game?
On a completely different point does anyone know when the new Miles Davis
Live at Filmore East, March 7, 1970 is released. Exceptional reviews in the
UK. Sony.com, Tower and Amazon don't seem to have it listed.

Well, as you probably know Mike, meaning is largely determined from context.
I got no problem with a neophyte who drops her jaws at her first
avant-garde jazz fest. We can all relate to that. Been there, done that.
But this article comes on the heels of several fairly uninformed pieces on
jazz and avant-garde jazz in America's premier newspaper. I'm wondering
when the paper's going to invest in a writer that's been to more than a
couple of gigs. It seems to me that NYC is an important enough place for
this music so that they'd hire someone who knew something about it. If I
want to follow the latest on the intifada in the middle east, I don't feel
quite satisfied with a newby who hasn't gotten his feet wet or who doesn't
appreciate the political context. Why should I be here, whatever niceties
are thrown around? To be honest, I'd rather read you guys. You know more.
I mean that as a compliment. I'm not simply satisfied when a paper does
something it should be doing anyway. By the way, I did say the article
wasn't bad. It wasn't. But it would have been better if the person had had
more experience with the music. I mean that seriously. But yes, favorable
open-mindedness is a good place to start. I wish the writer well.

well, of course they still have Ben Ratliff (one of my best friends, despite
our huge differences in musical opinions), and Ben is one of the best jazz
writers around, when given time to write and some inspiration from the music.
you should understand that the Arts and Leisure is essentially a separate
entity from the daily paper, with different editors, and much of the writing
is done by freelancers (including most of the uninformed pieces you refer
to.) as you also know, David Toop just wrote his first piece for them, and
will hopefully write more in the future. his initial experience with them was
not ideal, but I've been imploring him to persevere, because they could
really use him.
it's easy to complain about the music writing in the Times, but trying to
actually come up with someone they should hire is much more difficult. the
person needs to be a good, insightful writer who lives in NYC and is willing
to cover concerts 3 or 4 nights a week, then write up reviews on a short
deadline, many of which will never run in the paper. it's very hard to do
that for a while, coupled with all of the outside pressures you face as the
Times critic, and not burn out creatively. imagine trying to come up with
something original and/or interesting to say about the Lincoln Center Jazz
Orchestra the tenth time you write about them.
the other thing to keep in mind about specifically covering the Vision Fest
is that if you're knowledgable about the music, you tend to fall into one of
two camps. either you're a huge fan, in which case it's very hard to summon
up the necessary perspective and not end up writing a Steven Joerg-like press
release, or you think the whole "ecstatic jazz" scene is remarkably boring,
and you'd rather be strapped down like Alex in A Clockwork Orange than have
to sit through a whole week of it. a fresh, inexperienced perspective works
well in this specific circumstance, I think.

Point well taken. Nevertheless....maybe I'm just cynical about daily
newspapers, but I don't think that those who are interested in in-depth
analysis need to bother looking in the New York Times for it. When I need
it, I can get it elsewhere. And despite its lack of sophistication, the
article did a lot more for the music--I wouldn't think that William Parker
and Patricia Nicholson are complaining about it--than some of the other
dreck we've seen in the Times (and the New Yorker) lately. It was
essentially advertising, which, as you know, is the American media's primary
cultural function.
A measure of our disillusionment with the mainstream media is that we can be
quite pleased simply by the fact that someone is paying any attention at all
to the music.

Intriguing subject line, though I don't know of any work by Oswald on
something by Davis (though I haven't listened through or read through
all of the Plunderphonics set yet, so I could be wrong.)
The closest thing I know of is the final section of Carl Stone's
Nyala which brings together Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, an east Indian
(?) singer (at least someone in a kind of Bauls of Bengal style) &
one or two other sources. This was released on Em:t, so it's out of
print & probably not readily available now. Carl also had a couple of
much less interesting (to me, they were at least much less complex
than the Nyala work) Miles Davis pieces at an MP3 site a while back.
I don't know if they're still around.

Hey!
The Tzadik website has been updated. Zorn has a new playlist, and quite
amazingly, I have actually heard about some of the stuff he mentions.
Especially one thing caught my eye: A ten CD boxset of Ennio Morricone's
"pop" (!?) music called "Chronicle". This looks absolutely incredible!! Does
anybody here own this beauty??
Is it worth the almost 300 US Dollars, or would I be better of buying ten of
the original soundtracks by themselves?
I'm looking for websites with reviews of it, pictures of the artwork etc.
Any help would be great!
All I could find was this:

no specific details, but I know that Polygram/Universal/whatever large
corporation owns the rights to the Velvets material these days has been
planning a series of official bootlegs of VY material since the box set was
released a few years ago. I also seem to recall that Robert Quine, who ended
up Lou Reed's guitarist in the seventies, recorded many VU shows in the late
sixties, so I'd guess that's what this is drawn from.

I'm just coming back from Hans Tammen's concert at le 102 here in Grenoble.
The show was scarcely attended, but Hans's performance was very well
received. He played two long pieces which I guess are related to his
"endangered guitar" work (the guitar looked in danger indeed -- at the after
show dinner, we were talking about Derek Bailey's track "George" on the "Play
backs" CD where he says that all his guitars are named George, when Hans said
that his guitars did not last long enough to be named anything), and a short
and very quiet encore. Marvellous stuff indeed, but I didn't get any of his
CDs since I think seeing the man perform (with his two amps and his
powerbook) had a big part in my liking it. Anyway, besides the CD you
mentionned, he was also selling a duet CD on Potlach with a guy playing
"hyperpiano", whereas he is credited with "endangered guitar". Sorry about
the lack of details -- had too much Chinese liquor at the dinner...
I also got a copy of John Oswald's 69Plunderphonics96 from Jerome Noetinger.
It looks splendid, with a thick booklet, and of course the music is a must!
Jerome told me he had about 50 copies in stock, so European readers may be
interested in ordering it from Metamkine.

Excellent point. Trying to aesthetically enjoy a show while you have to
write about it and think of interesting, thought-provoking things to say is
a demanding task. Try doing that for ten nights, even for something as
high quality as the VF, and you'll see what I mean.

I was very impressed by Ok Computer and then Kid A and felt that Radiohead
was going somewhere. That's confirmed with Amnesiac. They're leaving
behind a lot of the "rock" aspects of their sound and incorporating more
free form compositions and of course techno. I've read some nasty reviews
of Amnesiac which I think are unfounded. I stayed up until midnight to get
a copy of it with my girlfriend at Tower (she's actually the bigger fan,
though). I'd like to know if anyone likes the shift in style or feels, as
many critics do, that they should revert to the classic Radiohead sound.

oh man. the experimental attitude that radiohead exposed to mainstream rock
is what brought me around eventually to john zorn. from radiohead to
portishead, from portishead to miles davis, and so on. so called classic
radiohead first of all was more a product of their environment than anything
else. they were britpop punks when they started out. ok computer totally
blew me away, and though theyve left alternative rock almost completely
behind, i think it's unfounded to call their more recent sound really
surprising or unexpected or much of a total diversion. theres no spontaneous
jump from creep to national anthem, ok computer is a perfect transitional
album, and the twins (kid a/ amnesiac) are just the next evolution. i love
what theyre doing now, theyve freed themselves from the confines of single
instruments, theyve removed the pop filters from their fingers and stopped
looking to please the commercial public. the best music comes from the
players only trying to satisfy themselves. and god, i thought ok computer
was a height, totally blew me away, changed the way i even thought about
music. wait 3 more years and see what they come up with next.
and critics always hate when an established band does something we aren't
used to hearing from them. every good band in history was like ripped on
when they first showed up. why are we listening to critics now anyway?
plus, i think it's fair for us to say that there's no such thing as "the
classic radiohead sound." pablo honey was explosive alt.punk, the bends was
melodic folkrock, ok computer was, well, ok computer, i think we can all
agree on this. im really looking forward to their next few albums, in ten
years when they start playing god knows what, critics will be crying "what
happened to the jazz savvy technofreaks we've come to know and love?"

I like Radiohead, but I don't feel any emotional ties with them or their
music. Plus their stuff reminds me of Miles, Robert Wyatt, etc. Plus the
Apex Twin - and I think the original sources are much more interesting.
Saying that I think their recent records are good - I am just not that
knocked out and dragged away with their music.

i came to radiohead through kid a. my friend was
dissing on it so i borrowed it to see what he was
talking abuot...then i bought it from him. i like kid
a more than Am as of now...but all things need time to
grow....
after Kid a i got ok PC.
funny...the same guy now loves the album now..
but also intersting, me and his drummer both thought
that each of the amnesiac songs were good ideas, but
they only took them so far...
they could have expanded they ideas farther...
but if you knew that band/group of people, then this
would be self explaining...
they have the same brilliance that has kept fans since
...whenever..
but where are the strange "paranoid android" epics..
of course i have my bitches brew and my progrock
side..
speaking of..
is anyone into tool?
their latest is a hardcore challenge for radio/pop to
get into...full of off rythym and well, toolness.
like radiohead, their current location isn't a
surprise..they have always been moving...
there are some really great moments in lateralus...
they cover all the sides of their sound...except
without as many segues as before (which isnt bad..just
less trying).
amor fati,
thomas

radiohead should have stayed exactly as they were with 'the bends' and never
changed. change only confuses people.
no, as perfect an album as 'the bends' is for what it is (and i do still
listen often and genuinely enjoy it), i like where they are now far more.
the thoughtfully layered motivic electronic/rock/composition things on 'kid
a' consistently floor me, and i'm just getting into 'amnesiac' now. hearing
the evolution from one album to the next is nice as well.
what amazes me is that they're still as popular as they are, it gives me
hope...
questions: on the electronica side, what do people hear as influences? i'm
not so into that and keep seeing, say, aphix twin refered to. (aphex

no justification for not owning aenema. so i went out and grabbed it and its
brilliant, it's hard to find bands in the liek dark/industrial metal genre
who really write beautiful complex albums, and aenema is not a singles album
any more than lateralus. any 1 song is just an incomplete piece of the

I think It is great that such a famous band as Radiohead is turning in the direction they are, It should do good for popular music. But I also think there are many other bands that have been doing what Radiohead is doing now for a while, and have done it better. I am reminded of Spacemen 3, Slowdive, Mogwai, and many other ambient etheral space music.
Also can anyone tell me where/when I can see John Zorn/Glenn Branca/others live?

Not that I've been asked, and I would also like to have from the man
himself an elucidation of his last posting, but I was under the impression
that generally Mr Parry's messages you are referring to, have actually been
obstinatedly very focused.
1. someone will make an elitist statement about "how things should be",
presenting his views from an authoritative standpoint and as objective
(while they aren't) and 2. Mr Parry would step in and say "not necessarily

them and their "groundbreaking" new recording. so, after reading so many

i still don't see how people can deem them the best rock band in the

The mass appeal of Radiohead is Thom York's voice. I love Kc, but belew is

I agree. Thom York does have an amazing voice, and I think he uses it quite
effectively in the music. It is sort of used (the voice) as another
instrument in the band. In many ways they remind me of Robert Wyatt. And
saying that I like Wyatt much more than Radiohead.

I've heard all of Radiohead's work, and like then quite a lot in a Pink Floyd

Stereolab: I'd say start with Dots and Loops, then Emperor Tomato Ketchup, then

While I'm not a big Radiohead fan, I definitely think they're a good, solid
rock band, pretty inventive, and they just ooze charisma. I saw them during
the "Creep" tour (1994? 1995?) backing up Soul Asylum and they just kicked
major ass. Thom Yorke was an excellent frontman. Plus, Yorke worships Elvis
Costello, so he's got a lot going for him taste-wise too. :)
Finally, I saw them performing on MTV this past weekend and I found the songs
(none of which I had ever heard before) unique and passionately performed.
My two cents,
Tom

The only edition of RAP ATTACK I can find in print is
RAP ATTACK 3, ISBN #1852426276, June 1999, also
referred to as "3rd revision" or "3rd edition". Is
this simply a third edition, or is it a third volume
in a trilogy? It's the title that's throwing me off.

I agree. Thom York does have an amazing voice, and I think he uses it quite
effectively in the music. It is sort of used (the voice) as another
instrument in the band. In many ways they remind me of Robert Wyatt. And

pretty good w/ some fine extended song structures, but I think it's

O'Rourke co-produced Stereolab's "Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The
Milky Night ," which is the most Zornlisty of their albums. "Dots and Loops"
is a great album, but a cheap intro to Stereolab (and one that seems to
sound like the various musical phases of their career) is the "First of the
Microbe Hunters" ep.

Rock Bottom is obviously one of Wyatt's essentials. After recommendation on
this list (thanks again), I could strongly recommend "Ruth is Stranger than

you can try anything by Sonic Youth. Everything is just amazing. IMHO, one

Some good albums to begin with: "NYC Ghosts& Flowers", "Experimental Jet Set

In fact, whether "aesthetical enjoyment" is part of the professional
listener / critic's job, is questionable. The professional listener /
critic might be expected to write intelligently about things that he may,
or may not, like. What he likes or dislikes is a matter of preferences, or
opinions, and is irrelevant.
Also, at another level: whether or not "aesthetical enjoyment" is part of
the professional critic's job may be a matter of preferences, or opinions,
on what one considers the function of musical criticism.
But, for the sake of clarification, I am certainly not saying that "to
enjoy" and "to like" are synonymous, and I am certainly not saying that
Jason did either...
Now, to answer your post, I never referred to Jason's message specifically,
but to Roger Parry's short messages, as I received them over the past few
months i.e. with a smile when he reminds us that a biographer's or a
musician's performance should perhaps not be measured by the audience's
expectations - otherwise known as "wishful thinking" in some benign cases,
or "marketing" in more severe ones (an example of which is to be found in
this weekend's NY Times article: What New York Deserves in a Jazz Festival,

former, which includes the best example of late Wittgenstein's theory
of meaning in practice (the ways of explaining the word 'plex' - if i
remember the translator's comments correctly, as I read the book in
polish) . very funny. the other one was also quite impressive.

I decided to subscribe to Mojo after those excellent series of articles on
the Smiths and the Pixies recently; since then a book excerpt on "Strange
Fruit" and an article on the making of Nirvana's "In Utero" have been well
worth the price of subscription. It's a lot more literate than the puff
pieces about boy bands and starlets that Rolling Stone and Spin keep
cranking out, and a lot less highbrow (and furrowed-brow) than the Wire, for
instance. (Mojo's album reviews seem pretty iffy, though.)

Hey, I happen to be re-reading this right now! I read the original back
when it first appeared, around 1975, and I remmeber being both
fascinated and confused by it. I've since read a decent amount of his
stuff (anyone read "Mad Man"? Zorn CD art pales in comparison!) and it's
interesting how much "Delany" there is in "Dhalgren" that I didn't pick
up the first time. I'm only about a third of the way through its 800 or
so pages, but my impression is again of a fascinating world created,
though th actions have become a bit banal and everyday. But we'll see.

i read "dahlgren" 15-20 years ago....it was intriguing, enigmatic, and at
800 pages, far too long. i suppose there are fans of it's complexity and
obfuscatory plot (or non-plot), and it IS interesting in places. afterall,
i did make it to the end, which is also the beginning. if i knew then what
i know now, i would have read "brothers karamazov" or "absalom, absalom"
instead.....now THERE is some real reading.
someone mentioned TOOL a while back. i have not been a major fan, but
bought "lateralus" based on some reviews and can't stop listening. it's
perhaps a guilty pleasure, but i find it compelling listening. much more so
than the new radiohead, which seems to just drone on and on. i hope that's
because i haven't listened to it enough. that's the downside of buying vast
quantities of cds, i guess.
ok, to make this a legit post, i saw masada in minneapolis a couple months

I'll put bands like Djam Karet, Secret Chiefs, Mojave 3, or 5UU's against

Most commonly for Stereolab people would recommend Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I also like Dots & Loops. I think It takes alot of listens of steeolab to appricate it more. What a like about it is the mellow sound and the could noises they make, really good electronics, and good sining too. Its fairly standard sounding, but Its good listening.
My favorite Sonic youth is Daydream Nation, but That is the one I,ve listened to the closest. I also would recommend the goodbye 20th century just because there are many cool covers like Steve Reich,s pendelum music. and other experimental composers.

With Radiohead I have never understood what all the fuss was about,
especially when it came to "O.K. Computer" and "Kid A" (I liked "Amnesiac"
better), they always seemed to me like another good pop rock band, but
nothing special apart from Thom Yorkes voice and a tendency to take some
risks -although not many. There are so many good bands out there that
deserve more credit, I think it all comes up to a tendency amongst rock
writers to praise "angst-filled" pop as if it were a sign of maturity or
intelligence. The truth is they end up sounding whiny to me.
Now Robert Wyatt, there's someone I respect and admire, "Rock Bottom" and
"Shleep" are two of my favorite albums of all time.

my favorite Sonic Youth and Stereolab are individual tracks, rather than full

and Diamond Sea, the epic centerpiece of Washing Machine, are both superb, as
is Hits Of Sunshine (For Allen Ginsberg), from A Thousand Leaves.
all three have held up remarkably well through dozens and dozens of
listenings for me, which I can't say about anything else from either group's
catalog.

Welcome to the vast minority! Somehow I just know that in 3-4 years used CD
stores, and thrift stores for that matter, will be full of Radiohead
'product'...
Incidentally, the 'boys in the band' sat down with their label a couple of
years back to draw up a 10 year plan to make Radiohead the next Pink Floyd
(obviously post D.S.O.T.M.), with a detailed strategy re: promotion, release
schedules, musical direction, performance venues, etc. As I said before,
this band sure reminds me of Supertramp...
np: my grandmother
Sorry! Why are we even discussing this band on this list???

some interesting points, Benjamin, but I still have one major problem with
your argument...
<< whether "aesthetical enjoyment" is part of the professional
listener / critic's job, is questionable. The professional listener /
critic might be expected to write intelligently about things that he may,
or may not, like. What he likes or dislikes is a matter of preferences, or
opinions, and is irrelevant. >>
do you realize how few critics there are who get paid well for music
criticism? even prominent magazines like Signal To Noise and Cadence, to cite
two examples, pay nothing to their writers, at least in most cases. if
aesthetical enjoyment isn't part of their job, there's not much left. your
point seems much more idealistic than realistic.

Hello Zornatics,
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum will be performing with
Cortex Bomb in Tucson AZ. Tues June 19th at Solar
Culture. Both groups play music you all on this list
might enjoy, and if you for some unconceived reason
happen to be stuck here in the desert on a tuesday
night, i would certainly encourage you not to miss
this show. it will be eventful. Some of you may or may
not be familiar with Cortex Bomb from our last cd, we
have another "Fist or Finger" pretty much done, just
finishing the cover art. The new one is less jazz,
more filmesque insanity(?). We have posted one song
"hello kitty/korn against the machine" from the new cd
to our mp3 site,
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/64/cortex_bomb.html
check it out immediately or be forever wondering what
is is you are missing out on in life *note sarcasm*.

Mojo, over all, is a very good magazine. Good writing and their subject
matter is usually interesting - plus it seems that they go out of their way
to find unusual photographs, etc. I have been subscribing to Mojo for the
past 4 or 5 years and I am rarely disappointed. If one is to nip-pick, I
am sure you can find something wrong with them - but overall they have a
good sense of direction in what they want to do. It seems that there
magazine is rooted for people in their Thirties and over - so it really
features good writing and an interesting gasp on music's history, etc.
The reviews are so-so, but in the end so what!

Hi
I was off list for the first part of the year, so I'm not sure if SGM has
been discussed recently. Just in case...
I caught there midnight sat at Tonic Friday accidentally after seeing Marc
Ribot's new project _The Crackers_. I was blown away by their show,
particularly the precision on all of the home made instruments and
dulcimers. It's also quite heavy for you metal fans.
The sound was exceptional too - you could hear everything from faint
whispers to blaring industrial crunches. After the gig, they were
soliciting a NY area gig as one had been cancelled on them, and said
"...we've even got our own PA and soundman." "No shit!" was the reaction of
the folks I was with. I won't go into the visual aspect. They really have
their act together.
Just wanted to put in a recommendation in case they come through your town.

Jon >>
11 June 2001
Dear Jon,
No condescension intended - but how I write is a matter only for me!
You seek elaboration in a tone that intimates you may feel threatened by the
observations occasionally posted by me.
The attempt is made using, as ever, that language known as 'English.' Of
course, 'elaboration' is not considered by us to be synonymous with
'understanding' or 'communication.' Perhaps you are one who subscribes to the
view that a 'word,' once recognised as such, has some inherent absolute
meaning rather than being (as we like to think) some thing to which you - as
the individual recognising the thing as a word - donate your 'meaning'. My
friends and I subscribe to the view - taken consequent upon years of
experience - that language is, at best, but an impoverished attempt between
individuals to reach some common, mutual understanding of some matter.
Misunderstanding is just as likely to be the result of attempts at
'communicating'.
Gigi's position, nut-shelled, is this:
To secure a future physical environment upon this planet that can continue to
support human life (other than at the extremes of unpleasant existence) means
that, of our own volition, we will eventually come to 'exercise our
discretion not to'. Thus, we will relinquish many of the actions and things
that we currently consider essential to our well being. I will not waste time
enumerating even one of these. You are familiar with the plethora of
'overlardings' with which we have weighed ourselves down.
Gigi extends this proposition to the environment of the imagination, that
interior physical process arising within almost every one of us as a
consequence of our existence in a physical world of process of which we each
have a unique awareness. He foresees the day when individuals may conclude
that - being in a state of unique awareness - it may be less damaging to the
processes of appreciation in others to let them come to their own conclusions
about their own experiences.
As a practical illustration, Gigi remembers very well the day, many years
ago, when he bought, as a visitor to some remote corner of the State of
Washington in the United States of America, an LP record of a performance of
the Sibelius Violin Concerto. He recalls that the sleeve note was all or
partly written by one Rollo Myers, a noted American 'critic'. Gigi says that
he made the error of reading this note before he auditioned the material on
the LP. In it there was reference to how a certain part of the music reminded
Rollo of a romping polar bear. Now, armed with this image, his capacity to
listen to the passage concerned was forever marred. He has never been the
same since! He says that Rollo should have exercised his discretion not to
say that. On the other hand, Gigi has no problem with Sibelius saying that,
or anything else, or with Rollo reporting whatever Sibelius may have said
about his concerto (or anything else), good faith between parties being a
principal we have adopted for the time being.
As a rule of thumb, we like to have information (in a form as objective as it
can be) about what has occurred and what is planned to occur, what has been
released and what is to be released by way of recordings. We like to listen
to a variety of sound-based events both live and recorded. We like to listen
in a 'non-linguistic' way for we think that language gets in the way of
listening ('deep listening', some might say). We are aware of the
physiological differences of process associated with language assimilation
(written &/or spoken) and the assimilation of sounds. Those palpabilities,
the hemispheres of the brain, could make an entry here. Sounds can, of
course, be expressed in language comprehensible or otherwise to a certain
listener and thus is their nature determined (from the point of view of
internal processing.)
The express quotation that initiated your response was: 'aesthetically
enjoy...
(what, we wonder, would be the 'meaning' you would donate to this term?)[*]
...a show while you have to write about it and think of interesting,
thought-provoking things to say'. We hope we have been successful in our
elaboration.

One of the problems with music journalism is that something that should
essentially be music reportage that should let a consumer or potential
consumer draw his own conclusions is too often sabotaged by someone feeling
the need to prove he can "write".
I worked for a bit as a music journalist, and was frequently being lectured
by editors about how I let the musicians' quotes take up too much of my
articles. I got in even worse trouble by saying, point blank, that critics
are a hell of a lot less useful than consumer advocates. I decided after
years of having this argument that I was better off making my living as a
player than trying to be both a journalist and a reporter.
The writers who seem to excel with editors are generally stylized as all
get-out and in posession of a viewpoint. Quite often, they have snappy
things to say but not always that much deep knowledge about the subject they
are purporting to cover. I have too often seen adjectives so perplexing
that I had no idea whether or not the critic in question respected the
performance. Also, I have seen things written that were just plain wrong,
because someone had an elaborate philsophical thesis they had to back up.
I shouldn't complain. I've been treated kindly by the people who choose to
write about me. But I've seen people I know make fine music only to have it
dumped on by a critic who wants to flex some weird muscle that has nothing
to do with music (re: Christgau's review of Dave Alvin's last record). And
do get the feeling many critics sit there at a show, thinking of some witty
shit to write, instead of paying attention to the music. I guess they're
thinking about what they'll do when they get to "perform", as if being a
critic is on par with being a musician. Trust me -- playing music well is a
hell of a lot harder than reporting accurately. I respect anybody who does
annything well, but the people I respect the most are the ones who improvise
well as a livelihood, whether it be Ryan Stiles or Keith Jarrett or Doc
Watson.
Personally, I think every critic should study LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI by
Mark Twain. It's a remarkable document wherein he takes something close to
his heart -- steamboat piloting -- and at once captures the magic of it AND
takes an intensely technical subject and actually manages to explain it in
civilian language, all the while communicating that, beyond the technnique
that goes into piloting, there's a certain magic that witholds itself from
words. Jazz, for all its technical requirements, needs magic to make it go.
Sadly, we have too many critics and not enough Mark Twain's dealing with the
subject.

His latest, "Schleep" is quite good, and features such
diverse musicians as Evan Parker, Paul Weller and Phil
Manzanera(whose latest "Vozero" was recorded around the same time,
and features Wyatt prominently)
I'd also recommend "Ruth is Stranger Than Richard" There's
also a new Matching Mole live disc, that I have yet to check out.

British pop group (pretty martian all in all). All
their albums are recommendable.

Subject: two british jazz-related questions
Date: 12 Jun 2001 17:44:27
First, thanks to Mr. Parry for posting that link to the
Hession-Wilkinson-Fell live performance; those guys 'rock.'
Which leads me to my first question, which is I have heard bits and pieces
of that group, but was wondering what anyone might recommended as a good
album to get. I know they have one on Ecstatic Peace and a couple on Bruce's
Fingers ... Anyone?
Second, I was flipping through the recent Alternative Press at the newsstand
(emphasis on "at the newsstand," ok???, cut me some slack!) and saw mention
of an album that included guest appearances by Steve Beresford and Derek
Bailey. The album is by a (DJ?) Panic_______ (that's a blank to be filled in
by the second part of his name, which I can't remember; Panicmaster,
maybe?). The very brief description made reference to a noisier Aphex Twin
or something, w/ some improv going on. This type of thing doens't always
work but it could be worth tracking down. But does anyone know exactly what
it might be called?
WY
P.S. This statement by Skip Heller is a very wise and very true one (based
on my first-hand experience...)
"One of the problems with music journalism is that something that should

This is my absolute favorite novel. Some find it off-putting, but if
you hold on through the first fifty pages or so it gets pretty
accessible. Just don't try too hard to figure out what is "really"
going on in the book -- part of the point, IMHO, is how one carries on
in a world that doesn't make sense.

The main one I know is "Registered Firm" on Incus with guest Joe Morris. It
definitely "rocks" as you say, but the sound quality is terrible. Alan
Wilkinson is so far up front in the mix that the rest of the band sounds like
they're in another room.

I would imagine translating Babel-17 to be quite difficult, since so
much of it hinges on the details of language that the various

Yep, my local library has a copy. If all you wanted was to read it your library can borrow it through inter-library loan; if you want your own personal copy (and avoid the looks of librarians who may have thumbed through it) there's always out of print searches (best place is bookfinder.com).

Thanks to all for the Wyatt dope.
Has anyone ever heard Zorn pundits or Zorn himself make a (more than
passing) connection between his music and Zappa's? There are so many FZ
pieces off the orchestral/collage/synclavier albums and guided improvs the
Mothers of Invention did in the 60s that remind me a lot of Zorn's

Very good. Interesting compositions, great playing from all -- Ochs reminds me of Braxton a bit too much in places, but Wadada Leo Smith is in fine form. Lindgerg is his usual virtuosic self, can't remember who's on drums.

Haven't heard the Lindberg in question, but while we're on the subject,
Lindberg's longtime group with guitarist James Emery, the String Trio of New
York, is back after a period of inactivity and/or lower profile. They
recently recorded a new disc live at the Jazz Standard, for release on
OmniTone sometime not too far off. The new violinist is Todd Reynolds, who
should prove an interesting match - he's a downtown "new music" specialist
who I know more from the avant-classical side of things, but not too long
ago I heard him ripping shit up live with Gregg Bendian's Mahavishnu
Project. Should be good. I note that the recording was to include a new
piece written for the Trio by Dave Douglas.
Unrelated, but another fine bassist, Drew Gress, has just put out a new disc
on the Premonition label (distributed by Blue Note!). It's called 'spin &
drift' and the band features Tim Berne, Uri Caine and Tom Rainey. Look for
that one at a nice store near you. Gress doubles on pedal steel guitar,
which I know will turn some folks way on.
I also got an advance today of a new Threadgill Make a Move CD due out in
September on a new label, but I'll tell you more about that one later...
One thing, though - no accordion or harmonium, but vibraphone...

Subject: SY live
Date: 13 Jun 2001 11:34:37 +0200 (MEST)
To contribute to the recent talk on SY, I just saw them live last night
and the night before I saw a trio of Moore,O'Roorke, Winant.
The trio performance first: it was an event in the frame of Holland festival
with several people performing in a relatively small theater in De Balie in
Amsterdam. They started very quietly, creating a mesmerising atmosphere with
very slowly developing themes. In a really great way the room was slowly being
filled with guitar sound, not noise just sound. Winant made great use of his
percussion setup. The climax was a really impressive full power blast.
Last night at Paradiso, the "rock" concert of SY, who appeared as a sextet,
augmented by Winant and his percussion set. Having seen them twice in the
last 3 years i was hesitating about going there. Oh, I am glad I did!!! This
was the SY I had always expected to see on stage. Somehow in the past they seemed
a bit held back, not releasing the beast in them. Yesterday though, I was
completely blown away. They really went for it, all the way to the stratosphere.
They started with late material in a very noisy fashion, with all the essential
feedback and drumstick-on-the-guitar, guitar-on-the-floor, etc tricks, to
then go back to some old classics that still today sound so fresh... They didnt
forget to go through more psychedelic part, with a piece from "a 1000 leaves"
(sorry forgot the title), to come back for an encore in the exact mood
of SYR3 with Kim on trumpet (using it to play the guitar most of the time).
They also seemd to have a really great time, with Thurston crawling on stage,
Jim sitting on his back etc. I the sound surprisingly good and even at its
loudest peaks was clear enough to catch the details. Simply amazing.
Can't wait to say goodbye to the 20th century tonight!!!

Such a good album. Not as edgy as I expected but from
the middle section of the record on it really
takes-off. The performers are all in excellent shape,
specially Smith and Lindberg himself, IMHO -maybe is
personal predilection, don't know. Someone asked about
the drummer: it's Andrew Cyrille.
I'll always like "Bounce" much more.

I have never read anything in this regard by Zorn.
Just a mention Zappa & the Mothers in the Spillane
album liner notes (if I'm not wrong) but just a
passing.
I think that more than a direct relation between the
two composers, they shared many common influences,
being Varése and Stravinsky some of the most
commented.
In fact, I heard a gossip that was supposed to have
Zorn criticize Zappa when the former presented Masada
in Barcelona. He was supposed to have talked about
Primus despectively (they played the same day as his
quartet)connecting them to Zappa in such a negative
way. Just a gossip anyway.

Probably my two favorites are:
Bogey's (Bruces Fingers) -- I remember getting this on cassette when it was
first released and being blown out of my chair by it. The recording quality
is OK (I haven't heard the CD so I don't know if they cleaned it up any) but
the playing is relentless.
The Horrors of Darmstadt (Shox) -- The title says it all. Another live CD
that really blow through like a hurricane.

I really like this a lot. Lindberg's compositions are strong, but what
really makes it for me is Leo Smith's playing. He has really been on a roll
lately and I have found that he adds a real depth to the music. Not, of
course to slight Ochs or Cyrille who all fit together with a taught balance.

Yes that makes sense. I think Zorn's musical universe (in my limited
exposure) tends to be 'arty' and 'serious' in a way that would have drawn
Zappa's scorn. Zappa's dada gestures are comical, light hearted and even
silly and Zorn's seems to relate more to 'cathartic' energy and yet
somehow remain cool (hearted). Somehow i don't think Zorn ever feels the
need to entertain, as Zappa does (even if it's only entertaining himself).
Zorn's avant gardism is more of a philosphy.
I'm not trying to pidgeon-hole them! By 'dada' above i just refer to a
quality of absurdism in their music, which is not to value it or devalue
it in any way -- it's just a kind of exhuberance i'm trying to identify.
> In fact, I heard a gossip that was supposed to have

It doesn't surprise me of that kind of thing between these two, who to me
overlap in quite precise, and possibly competative ways. There was the
ancient bad blood between FZ and Lou Reed/VU as well, and Zappa had few
good words for anyone alive except Nicholas Slonimsky, so i doubt he said
anything interesting about Zorn, if he payed attention at all.

It's probably because their last names end with Z that
they turned out to be great artists. They had more
time to create while they were waiting to be called on
in school.
Another possible piece of the puzzle????

Some time in the last couple of years, Zorn did a lecture/Q&A if I
recall correctly, and it was reported here on the list that he called
FZ's Uncle Meat the "best album ever." Even taking JZ's penchant for
hyperbole into account, that's pretty fannish. (And hard to argue with,
IMHO.)

The one I'd like to attend the most is Jazz em Agosto,
in Portugal. I think I can provide a website address
for that. Let me check at home.
Some names of last year's edition (from the top of my
head): Anthony Braxton, Misha Mengelberg, Han Bennink,
Peter Brötzmann, Bruno Chevillon, Ellery Eskelin...
and the list went on!

Meaning it was FZ's best album ever? That's _easy_ to argue with, but i
don't know if there'd be a clear winner. Best collage album? Maybe
that'd be easier to defend.
The orchestral pieces that came out of the late Mothers and 200 Motels
period (UMeat was before that), like Pedro's Dowry and Bogus Pomp are a
"movie for your ears" (or "music for your eyes") kind of thing. While not
strictly in Zorn's sense of Musical Optics, i think the whole
program/cartoon/pastiche approach was really FZ's strength carried on with
the sense of the theatrics of performance (some might say hamming it up)
that came through Varese, Stockhausen, Cage, and from his early success
playing the bicycle on the Steve Allen's show.
I realize that Zorn's lineage is more 'downtown' and Zappa's is more
'garage band' but what i like in common is this theater aspect.

For fear of starting another pro- vs. anti-Zappa thread (please don't let it
happen), here are the things I have noticed/read/observed regarding
connections between the two:
-Zorn has mentioned listening to Zappa when he was growing up in the
sixties, after getting into rock with the Doors, Beatles, but then quicly
geting into "the weird stuff."
-Zorn mentions Zappa on a positive note in the Spillane liner notes, both
the original and the reissue.
-Zorn also said something like "he was really special" in the JazzTimes
interview from a year and a half ago, although he also made a point of
saying how the two were different (well, one way that the two were
different), in that Zorn didn't have the motivation or interest to go after
all the political issues as Zappa.
-someone on the list a while back mentioned seeing Zorn at a
questionnaire-type session in NYC and Zorn said that _Uncle Meat_ was
Zappa's best (the more I listen to it, the more I tend to agree, but that's
another story...)
-I do think Lumpy Gravy or even Greggary Peccary (which I really don't
enjoy) could be considered precursors to "Spillane" and "Godard" in at least
some small sense, and I think someone else on the list has mentioned this,
even if there are some pretty fundamental differences, too. I need to listen
to it again, but I could have sworn I heard some little sample from
"Greggary Peccary" in "Godard" -- Billy the Mountain laughing, very briefly.
>There was the ancient bad blood between FZ and Lou Reed/VU as well
Not to mention VU/Lou Reed FANS vs. Zappa fans ... but I think this problem
w/ the musicians originally came up in part because they were on the same
record label at the time, and even had the same producer, Tom Wilson.
>Zappa had few good words for anyone alive except Nicholas Slonimsky, so >i
>doubt he said anything interesting about Zorn, if he payed attention >at
>all.
I doubt he was even familiar with Zorn, since he didn't pay much attention
to new music from what I gather. But I do remember reading him (Zappa)
praising Mr. Bungle at some point. (Although, despite the misconception,
there are far fewer connections between Mr. Bungle and Zappa than between
Zappa and Zorn).
Also, Zappa had few good words about many living people in music at all,
unfortunately, whether in rock or classical. BUT, he had a lot of nice
things to say about Pierre Boulez, for one, who is certainly in the "art
world" (as opposed to entertainment).
Being a once-obsessive fan (in various stages of recovery) of Zappa, Zorn,
VU, and Mr. Bungle, I keep track of this stuff, which is why I still
remember specific wordings and such. I have problemes, I know.

Oh shit: i didn't know that was possible (or historically a pastime) on
this list. I CERTAINLY don't want to enter into that either. What a

Although IIRC the liner notes for the half Boulez-conducted album (The
Perfect Stranger) explicitly state that it is NOT "art."

3rd and final night of SY in Holland, with a fantastic performance based on
SYR4... If you thought the record was good (or very good as I did), go see
them!!! Amazingly nice performance, totally coherent and inspired. In the city
theater of Amsterdam, a very nice setting, full of people of diverse styles and
ages who seemd to really enjoy the event. Amazing to have this big, old styled
theater filled with SY's massive sound. Nice lighting also.
They played Cage (Six, Four.Six, the latter with help of locals Cor Fuhler
and Ab Baars), K. Boehmer's Echelon, Yoko Ono's scream trilogy, Terney's
"having never written a note for percussion", a piece by George McKane(?)
called "Carpenter piece" which was mainly nailing the keys of a piano,
a C. Wolff a C.Cardew a Higgins and a S.Reich piece. Sadly no pendulum.
Plus a couple of their pieces, incl. a fiery version of "NYC ghosts
and flowers".
A small discussion was organised after the concert with T.Moore, L.Ranaldo,
J. O'Roorke, W. Winant, K. Boehmer about the tour, the music the composers,
etc. Pretty interesting even though a better prepared interviewer would have
made it better.
Highlights from the discussion:
>guy from the public: You live in NYC, where also John Zorn lives. Where you
ever asked to participate in one of his game pieces?
>TM: Well, John is a very nice guy ...(blah blah)... he asked me once to
participate in a game piece but I told him: "John, I dont play games."
At some other point, while discussing reaction from the public to their
20th Century concerts, TM said that often the public just yells old song
titles. And Jim went further saying that they will keep playing this
until the public starts asking them for different pieces of John Cage.
All in all, after 3 nights in a row of SY experience, tonight I will miss them.

Date: 14 Jun 2001 12:41:51 -0400 (EDT)
Hi,
I was writing a paper on Zorn and what I call is
political aesthetic so I read a lot of interviews and
stuff. Anyway, here's all I know of Zorn on Zappa.
From Bill Milkowsi (2000) One future, Two Views.
Conversations with Wynton Marsalis and John Zorn.
Jazztimes (march). p. 28-35, 118-121.
Q: You've traveled a lot with Masada and spread the
word by taking the music to the people, much in the
same way that Frank Zappa spread his own message.
A: Zappa was a very special person. He was very
articulate; he really cared about politics. He had a
lot of things going for him. I can't step in Zappa's
shoes. I'm not politically aware. I don't read
newspapers; I
don't read magazines; I don't watch television. So I
have no idea. Zappa was on top of everything, man. He
was really amazing. I'm not really an articulate,
politically minded, forward thinking person with goals
that wants the world to be this way or that way. I'm
not an interesting interview in that regard. I wish I
was. I wish there was someone who could be there in
Zappa's place. I'm not the guy. For me it's more about
doing
things than babbling about it. (...)

Delany's "Equinox" (originally published in the late 60s as "Tides of
Lust") is pretty disturbing. It was reissued a few years ago by
RhinocEROS. If you've read Delany's memoir, this is the book he worked
on only while sexually excited, even the parts other than the sex
scenes.

Boy don't get me started! First of all I think Zorn's current list of his
favorite reads are really good. For instance, I loved the Raymond Roussel
biography. Fascinating wacky (and great writer - of course most everything
by him is out-of-print) personality.
I would also like to recommend someone who is actually very popular but I
feel that she doesn't get the credit she deserves - and that's Patricia
Highsmith. Her work is totally amoral creepiness.
And of course anything by Georges Bataille (Story of the Eye - my personal
favorite of his) and works by Patrick Hamilton. Very disturbing insight
into the British working class during the WW2 years. J.G. Ballard's Crash
is another great.
And if I may give myself and TamTam Books a little plug: Serge Gainsbourg's
Evguenie Sokolov and Boris Vian's I Spit on Your Graves.

To be honest, I haven't read anything by Hogg - wasn't even familiar

But I did finy Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho" quite disturbing to

Hi everyone!
I've owned Sonic Youth's "Lost Tracks" album for many

through which company they released it. Unfortunately,
my copy (at least) doesn't feature any credits

date...). Anybody knows where this record came from?
BTW, I seize the opportunity to recommend it.
Thanks.

I like the collection a lot. It's a good introduction to a lot of Cage's
work and to the artists on it. And "Georgia Stone" is my single favorite
Yoko recording.

Hi,
Can anyone offer a brief review of Supersilent 5?
I don't know if this is necessary since most people on this list seem to
despise ECM, but I feel I should warn against the Trygve Seim release,
"Different Rivers". It's a very nice disc, but unfortunately it doesn't
deviate from the traditional ECM fare. I was hoping that the presence of
Arve Henriksen (Supersilent) and Stian Carstensen (Farmers Market) signalled
a new direction for their jazz recordings.
Regarding the discussion on disturbing books, the most disturbing book I
have read has got to be Peter Sotos' _Tick_ (or was it _Pure_?). It's a mix
of sadism, kiddie porn, and (just a little) art criticism interspersed with
newspaper clippings about people arrested for abusing children. A very
depressing read.

Martin Davidson just sent the list of upcoming records on his label,
and I have barely recovered. Three with Evan Parker, including the reissue of
the mythic CHALLEGE (with extra material including Parker!).
Patrice.
Available around June 26:
SPONTANEOUS MUSIC ENSEMBLE Challenge (1966-7) EMANEM 4053
The long overdue reissue - the first since 1966! - of the first SME LP
reveals their free jazz roots with only hints of what was to come. KENNY
WHEELER (flugelhorn), PAUL RUTHERFORD (trombone), TREVOR WATTS (alto sax),
BRUCE CALE (double bass) and JOHN STEVENS (drums) improvise on pieces by
Rutherford, Stevens & Watts. (JEFF CLYNE replaces Cale on a couple of
tracks.) In addition there is a previously unissued performance from 1967 by
TREVOR WATTS (piccolo & alto sax), EVAN PARKER (soprano sax), CHRIS CAMBRIDGE
(double bass) and JOHN STEVENS (drums). Reissue of Eyemark EMPL 1002 with
extra material. 67 minutes.
HOWARD RILEY TRIO verground (1974-5) EMANEM 4054
Graphic scores interpreted by pianist Riley with BARRY GUY on amplified bass
and TONY OXLEY on percussion and electronics. Recorded a year or two after
SYNOPSIS (EMANEM 4044), these two sessions reveal further developments,
ending up with all three musicians using electronics. As well as three trio
performances, there is also a Riley/Oxley duet, and an overdubbed two-piano
piece. 68 minutes - previously unissued.
EVAN PARKER The Ayes Have It (1983 & 1991) EMANEM 4055
Two performances by one-off groups, both featuring EVAN PARKER (saxophones)
and PAUL ROGERS (double bass). There is a 1983 trio studio recording with
percussionist JAMIE MUIR, and a 1991 quartet gig with percussionist MARK
SANDERS and visiting trombonist WOLTER WIERBOS. Both sessions are quite
unlike anything else in the Parker canon. 68 minutes - previously unissued.
CHRIS BURN ENSEMBLE The Place 1991 EMANEM 4056
A concert performance by the eight-piece group, with JIM DENLEY (flutes),
JOHN BUTCHER (saxophones), PHIL DURRANT (violin), STEVIE WISHART (violin &
hurdy-gurdy), MARCIO MATTOS (cello), JOHN RUSSELL (guitar), MATT HUTCHINSON
(synthesizer) and CHRIS BURN (piano & percussion). They interpret three
scores by Burn, and one each by Butcher and Keith Rowe, as well as performing
a free improvisation. EVAN PARKER is an added guest on one of the Burn
pieces. 72 minutes - previously unissued.
SYLVIA HALLETT White Fog (1998-2001) EMANEM 4057
Three aspects of this remarkable musician's work: Wheelsongs is a 6 minute
cycle featuring four original songs appearing within an improvised setting
created solely with bowed bicycle wheel and digital delays. There is also a
violin and voice improvisation (without any electronics), and a tape collage
soundtrack made for a dance film. 64 minutes - previously unissued.
Emanem 4025 & 4026 are being repressed.
This means that all Emanem CDs will then be available,
except for 4004 which will be reissued later this year.
See www.emanemdisc.com for further details.

I'm usually in Australia, however, for the last 2
months I've been in the U.S.A, including the last 2
weeks in New York. Over that period I've had the
pleasure of seeing Joe Maneri perform one heck of an
amalgam of modern classical meets Brooklyn cool, Other
Dimensions in Music showing that their style of bebop
colliding with ecstatic style is pre eminement, a
beuatifully spirital set by JoeMc Phee occasianally
marred by his rhythm section trying to be superheroes,
Yo La Tengo showing that even though they'd Like to be
cool free jazzers have no idea, Masada although being
slowed down by their reliance on reading from charts
become one heck of a live act purely through Joey
Baron's incredibly diverse drumming and even better
smiles, Sexmob's fun cover versions despite Steve
Bernstein's lame dwarf jokes, and a beautiful set by
Daniel Carter at DMG. However, this was partly spoiled
by a lame set by James Chance at the Knit. James was
big in Australia for a while in the late 70s and was
responsibe for turning a few heads to Ayler, Coleman
and James Brown. However, this was one of the lamest
and stupidest gigs I've been to in a while. James
tried but the band was leaden, stodgy and stank.
I'm looking forward to Bruce Gallanter's birthday bash
at the DMG this Sunday evening to recover from this
deep funk.

Perhaps it is global warming, but the recent deluge from Emanem, that seems

Dear Mr. Parry,
I read with great interest your partial transcription of the play "Zornlist".
I'm not sure, however, why you chose to leave out the structural development
that has the entire theatre world abuzz.
as I'm sure you're well aware, per the playwright's instructions, every ten
minutes the stage goes dark, the actors sit in silence, and the house lights
go up. on cue, in unison, the audience rises to their feet, turns to face
east, and reads together from their programs:
"thank you for enlightening us! before you came along, we were content to
wallow in our ignorance, but now, with your help, we hope someday to
understand the world just a wee bit better."
the audience then retakes their seats, and the play resumes.
critical reaction to this stunning innovation has been mixed thus far,
ranging from one who wrote, "what a brilliant play! this is the most exciting
development in the 77 years I've been covering the theatre.", to the graffiti
spray-painted on the walls of the theatre after opening night, which simply
read, enigmatically and inexplicably, "WOT A WANKER".

"Blood and Guts" is far from her best, and is really only necessary for
completists. If you really want to explore her best, try _Empire of the
Senseless_ or _In Memoriam to Identity_.
Lance Olsen's short fiction can be pretty disturbing. His collectoin
"Sew Shut My Eyes" is still pretty available (and has a bi-line by
Delaney for extra insentive).
The Mugwump books by Doug Rice are probably the most disturbing things
I've read in recent months. Not knock you flat disturbing, but creeps
quietly into your brain and gives you strange dreams disturbing. Paul
Bowles still frequently frightens me, esp his short work, and M. Gira
from the Swans has a collection called "The Consumer" that, while not
brilliant by any stretch, has some good, dark content.

Expect to hear nothing from before 1980. I know that they have some new
material, but, until set lists start popping up from their run this
weekend in Nashville, don't know what they are.

House of Glass, by Mark Danielowski. Very well done horror story in the

typographical effects I've seen in a long time.

>>>'Fixations (14).' This is a record of some of John Butcher's recent

His peregrinations last night in the Atrium of Ventura's City Hall were
sublime. Butcher's use of extended technique to create such carefully
crafted beauty is above reproach. Such techniques in the hands of others are
often laced with humour and/or bombast, but John visits every corner of the
dynamic range, and the music reminds me more of sacred music than Spike
Jones. Exquisite performance. And a delightful gentleman as well.

Over on the Fred Frith list there was the occasional
obsession over connections between Frith and Robert
Fripp, probably mostly because of their names. Kind
of funny I thought but maybe not. And in Guitar
Player magazine I read that Henry Kaiser said that
Fripp had "ripped off" the idea of tuning the guitar
in fifths from Frith and they called it the "great
Frith Fripp fifth froth". Now that is funny isn't it?
(and a good tongue-twister)
Unrelated, but maybe someone could recommend some
Louis Sclavis recordings for me, particularly
something with Bruno Chevillon at his best (if he
isn't always at his best).
thanks,
Ryan N.

The answer isd simple: Yes, and write us (or me at least) what was it

Fripp, Belew, Gunn, Mastelotto. Gunn uses various touch basses and an

recently)
> C: what songs are frequently on the recent set-lists?
They tend to play recent stuff, in US they played a few songs from
'80s. They do a cover of Bowie's 'heroes' They should be playing new
material now.
The current lineup s very strong live. Mastelotto-Gunn section is very
powerful. Compared to the previous 'double trio' version it's more
'power rock': in fact, the band is not unlike primus + bitches brew +
ornette. Exciting, long, improvs. Belew is great. I'm getting tired of
Fripp recently, as i find his solos predictable, but the band is a
wonder live.
You can see what they're worth by checking the 'heavy construction' 3
cd set that includes material from their last euro tour. The 3rd cd
contains improvs.

I saw the recent version of Massacre few years ago at the Moers festival and
it rocked. I'm curious how they might have changed in those years.
Personally, I think it would be interesting if they started composing a bit
for the group, but I don't think Bill Laswell is too interested in that.
So please, reviews would be nice!

I saw the first of Kc's four warm-up shows in Nashville last thursday
evening. I can't remember the exact set list. They did play FraKctured,
VROOOM, The ConstruKction of Light, Into The Frying Pan, Cage, The World's
My....., Dinosaur, ProzaKc Blues, an amazing version of The Deception of The
Thrush, David Bowie's Heroes, Elephant Talk, Frame by Frame and some newer
tunes that have yet to be released as well as some older tunes that i can't
remember. The show was really good even with a few mistakes from Belew as
far as remembering lyrics, and messing up the guitar part on FraKctured.
Belew's lead solos were great--if only all vocalists could handle lead guitar
parts as well. Fripp was flawless. Gunn's solo on Deception of The Thrush
made the evening as far as i'm concerned. Mastelotto nailed everything. The
show was good enough that on the way home I put in a Kc cd--and it doesn't
happen often that i'll want to listen to the same group on the ride home that
i just finished seeing for two hours.
If you've never checked them out before, seeing them live is probably the
best introduction.

Possibly because most of his solos now are written out? He only took one
improvised solo when i saw them in Nashville as far as i could tell. It gets
hard to count individual notes when he plays that fast, but as far as i could
tell, all his solos were note for note what they are on Heavy ConstruKction
with the exception of his solo on The World's My... (i think, which ever song
it was that i thought was different, it wasn't far off the solo on Heavy

are composed out?

Just got back from the gig, which was hugely enjoyable - they played for
about an hour, mainly doing several long improvised pieces, with a couple of
shorter thrashier pieces thrown in. I imagine most of it is improvised,
although a couple of the pieces seemed to start with "heads" or some
pre-arranged idea of how to begin. Frith had two guitars - one laid flat on
a table which he occasionally plugged into & used some sort of pickup to
amplify the objects he pushed & scraped up the strings - a bow, a metal tin,
metal chain etc etc. He mainly played his other electric guitar in a more
conventional fashion, although using it as much for percussive effect as to
pluck. He used a lot of effects pedals to loop various sounds & bits of
feedback which he then improvised over. Laswell varied between very melodic
playing (similar in style to on his Tzadik album, "Invisible Design"), jazzy
runs, dub & funk riffs which anchored the pieces down & often led the way
they progressed. It was enjoyable to hear him throwing Bootsy-style fuzzbass
lines into the mix as Frith splintered out free-guitar noise over the top.
Laswell also quoted riffs (I think) from Funkadelic's "Cosmic Slop", Sly
Stone's "Thank You For Talking To Me Africa" & Trane's "A Love Supreme".
Charles Heyward provided a powerful rhythmic charge - he also played
melodica on a couple of the quieter sections. The band were really well
received - they got a standing ovation, and Laswell even smiled, shockingly.
Their playing reminded me as much of the backing for Percy Howard's
"Meridiem" album as it did for the last Massacre one - it'd be great to hear
some live releases from this line-up. Are they playing anywhere else in
Europe?
Chris Cutler's set was a lengthy improvised piece using a conventional drum
kit & a load of electronic gear - samples were triggered pretty much
constantly. It was kind of impressive to watch, but the lack of any melodic
elements meant I wasn't unhappy when it finished.
Just my tuppence's worth...anyone else see the gig?

I know that much of the material (such as the entire third disc of
Heavy ConstruKCtion) is completely improvised. He may be working with
composed solos in the written-out songs, but that's far from the
complete show.

Hey all:
I'm two years late jumping on this particular bus, but since some of you
might not have checked this out, I beg of you a moment for a brief plug...
About two years back, I asked my/our friend Jon Abbey for his
recommendations regarding a "starter kit" for the new electro-improv scene
of which he plays such a great part with his Erstwhile label. He supplied
five titles, but given the difficulties in finding some of these things, I
was slow in reacting. REAL slow.
But I found myself in Mondo Kim's with some cash to burn on Friday
afternoon, and finally acted on a few of his recommendations. I've not
listened to the lot of them yet, but after one in particular, I felt that I
had to share in public.
To wit: The self-titled release by Dafeldecker, Kurzmann, Fennesz, O'Rourke,
Drumm and Siewert on the Charizma label is just one of the best things I've
heard in recent memory. It's more than an exceptional electro-acoustic
improv disc - it's just a damn fine disc, period. I spent last night
thoroughly engrossed in it. Go, go, get this.
Thanks, Jon.

Love your 2 and ... many others.
Very Very Circus and Carry the Day also from the 90's in a similar mood:
2 guitars, 2 tubas, etc .... Wonderful arrangements with a "world"
touch.
Jazz purists will probably prefer the 80's Sextett (7 pieces indeed),
not as catchy (?) as 90's stuff. I love especially "Just The Facts and
Pass the Bucket", on About Time. Cadence should still have it on cd and
LP.
No recent Threadgill cd but 8 Bold Souls' Last Option is very much in
the Threadgill style and it is a wonderful cd.
And AIR, the quintessential 70's free bluesy sax-bass-drums trio,
Threadgill, Fred Hopkins & Steve McCall.

It gets
That's only a part of the story. I think he got too limited by his
style of uncommon intervals, lots of sustain, etc.He could play some
normal stuff from time to time. Look at what frisell plays: he's much
more versalite. On the other hand, Scofield commits the same sin as
fripp: his solos are great and very refined, but all are the same in
some sense.
I think that being composed is not a problem, I like some of them very
much - for example 'elephant talk'. By now, all fripp solos consist of
ultrafast notes, and his sound got too artificial. As to his sound, it
was the best at fripp sylvian 'the first day', the sound oon 'vroom'
is grreat also. More natural and dricher then the later, very
synthetic sounds.

This is the basson/sopranino player and composer Lindsay Cooper, the woman,
not the bass player.
Yes, it has happened a few weeks ago but I just learnt it a few days ago and

Just picked up today's new Zorn release 'Songs from the Hermetic Theater',
about which I have mixed feelings. The electronic/computer pieces American
Magus & The Nerve Key are pretty unexciting, generic, somewhat cliche. The
others, In The Very Eye Of Night & Beuysblock are more engaging, my feeling
is the maestro should stick to composing and performing on 'traditional'
instruments and objects...
As for another thread, Fripp's guitaring, for me he peaked around Starless &
Bible Black, his best solo is without a doubt on Eno's 'Baby's On Fire'. He
lost his 'edge' when Belew came on board, that seemed like a cop-out
bringing in another guitarist, so Fripp could fade back...the most
satisfying Fripp I've witnessed in the last couple of decades has been his
Frippertronics opening on the Vai Satriani tour...he should get the
mellotron out of storage!

Yes, this is a great CD to be certain. There's a certain narrative
dimension to a lot of the electro-acoustic stuff. This one to be sure as
well as Jon's "Schnee" perhaps the best one on jon's label. Another great
one is Poire Z with Muller, Erik M and Voice Crack. Just got this and would
just as strongly recommend it.
I've learned a lot from Jon. And I'm happy to report that I'm the proud
owner of all but the most recent two releases of the Erstwhile catalogue, a
catalogue that never ceases to challenge and intrigue. And the most
intriguing and challenging to date is by far Nakamura and Sachiko's "Do,"
which will certainly be one of my top two or three favorites of the current
year.
PS--I'm really enjoying the two box sets of Pierre Henry these days.

Subject: Fripped out [was RE: Hermetic Theater]
Date: 19 Jun 2001 12:54:59 -0400
I can see your point in re: Fripp, but to be honest, I've heard massive
chunks of the guitar style you're missing in performances by ProjeKct Two
and last year's shows by King Crimson, and in both cases he was clearly
enjoying himself tremendously. It was good to hear him just wail. The P2
show, in particular, is probably the best Crim-related performance I've ever
seen, Belew's mostly merely serviceable drumming notwithstanding.
I didn't see the arrival of Belew as any kind of cop-out, really. It mostly
enabled Fripp to realize those interlocking minimalist tunes he was suddenly
writing in '81. Neither Fripp nor Belew truly wailed the way we know they
both can (I still think Belew reached his personal stunt-guitar-hero peak
with Talking Heads 'Remain in Light,' but don't begrudge him for what he's
done since). They were both rather restrained, and remain so to a degree
aside from the improvs. The reintroduction of large stretches of improv in
the current quartet is the best thing to happen with Fripp and Crimson in
decades. I think that after years of self-negation within the Crimson
context, Fripp is just now beginning to have fun and let loose with some
serious shredding again, if only from time to time. He's magnificent on the
live Sylvian-Fripp disc, 'Damage.'
If Fripp were to be accused of bringing someone in as a cop-out, that charge
might more accurately have been leveled in regards to Trey Gunn in his
earliest days, when he really was a Fripp clone so accurate it was eerie, if
not appalling. Since then, Trey's really become his own man, but I still
suspect that many folks might think it's Fripp soloing on "Deception of the
Thrush."
Sadly, Fripp sold his Mellotrons - at least two of the three, anyway.
During "Dinosaur," he uses a digital Mellotron patch triggered by his
guitar, but it's not the same. For the real thing (along with lotsa burning
guitar), might I recommend Djam Karet's new one, 'New Dark Age' on
Cuneiform? I think it might be my favorite of all of their single albums -
the duo of 'Suspension and Displacement' and 'Burning the Hard City' remain
special, of course, but 'New Dark Age' is a fantastic starting point. Hope
to be able to see them at the Knit next week...
There's also a rumor afoot that the four remaining original Crims (Lake,
McDonald, Giles and Sinfield) are considering hitting the road soon with
Steve Hackett on the guitar stool - with Fripp's blessing, at that. Rumor
has it they'll be called simply "Crimson." Don't know if I can be bothered
to see that or not. Perhaps it's better to cherish old memories than to see
an embittered singer past his prime trying to recapture the glory days, all
in the name of proving he was the prime mover of that band's sound (which,
of course, was more McDonald and Fripp, anyway).

Don't know that one, but I noticed the other day when re-watching _Ninja

Does anyone know of a list floating around of Zorn's music for

I wish I still had the tape of Trey auditioning for my band in Brooklyn
in the mid-80s -- the resemblance was uncanny. As I recall, he agreed
to join, but I was trumped when he got a Call from the Master to come to
England. Ah, well...

Anybody got the two new Tzadik releases? Frith: "Clearing", Zorn: "Songs of
the hermetic Theater"
I'm extremely curious about Zorn's computer music. Judging from the cover
photo, this CD relates to the "Theater Of Musical Optics" idea, which I fear
might be an "excuse" for very very bad music... So some comments?
Frith ought to be incredible. I thought it would be one long track, like his
solo concerts normally are, but it isn't. Is this kind of a "new thing" for
him?

Last night we rented Wim Wenders' recent movie Million Dollar Hotel, sort
of an existential thriller. The best thing about the movie was the music,
played by an all-star band including Bill Frisell, Greg Cohen, Jon Hassell,
Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and some guy named Bono (who also produced and
wrote the story) on occasional vocals. Amazon has the soundtrack listed,
but it looks like they included all of the songs and not much of the
wonderful atmospheric instrumental music. Can anyone confirm or comment on

It's not that bad, but the whole sotry for the movie was stolen by Bono from
Nabokov's "The Real Life of Sebastian Knight". It's about a man, who is
trying to recreate the life of his dead brother - Sebastian Knight - an
unknown writer. One of Knight's novel was about a pension, occupied by a
crowd of weird residents (not the band though!), the story starts with a
suicide of one of the residents. Investigation is performed by a akward
policeman, who is constantly in trouble. He soon find out, that all
residents are related to each other... etc, etc, just see the movie and you
will know Nabokov's story. But for Nabokov, this story was an example of
bad, modern, thriller type of literature. Bono's "genuine" story is just a
bit different from the original, the difference is usually subject of all
complaints about the movie. Recommended reading though.

Yes, I think it is. I saw it at it's grand premiere at the filmfestival in
Berlin and you would think that atmosphere alone was enough to save it. But
no. Rather dissapointing.
The soundtrack disc is for Bono and U2 fans, not Frisell fans. (U2 fans will
love it though)

We had never heard of it and didn't read bad reviews until after we saw it.
On the plus side, the music is great, it's an interesting footnote in Mel
Gibson's oeuvre, and the leads both do pretty well. The down side is
pretty well covered elsewhere, but the fifth beatle was really irritating
for us. My companion bagged it half way through, but I'm glad I finished
it, if for no other reason than because I think Wenders' filmography has
been interesting to follow.

I suspect that some mailbox somewhere is bouncing things back to the
list.
It seems less of a problem than happened when someone caused a
bounce loop on a list that I ran, causing some 700 instances of a
message within an hour (of course, the hour that I was out at lunch
and not paying attention). Fortunately, that time a listmember was able
to contact the postmaster at the bouncing site and shut it off.
This proved that having list messages' Reply-to: value set to loop back
to the list is a Bad Thing.
