He has three discs under his own name... "Parallel Worlds" from 93 on Soul Note, "The Tiny Bell Trio" from 94 on Songlines, and "In Our Lifetime" from 95 on New Worlds. He is also a key member of two ensembles outside of Masada, each with one disc to their credit... with New And Used he released "Souvenir" on Knitting Factory in 92, and with the Mosaic Sextet he released "Today, This Moment" on Konnex in 93. Playing in other people's outfits he has appeared with Vincent Herring on "American Experience," with Don Byron on "The Music Of Mickey Katz," with Michael Formanek on "Low Profile," with Mark Dresser on "The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari," with Myra Melford on "Even The Sounds Shine," and with Orange Than Blue on the double disc live set "While You Were Out." Of all of those titles, the only one which I would not suggest that you rush out and pick up is the session with Herring, unless of course you are a fan of the style in which Herring plays (something that is not completely in tune with my tastes). Other than that, I know that he has some recordings available with an outfit called Dr. Nerve, but I have yet to hear them myself. -Egg 1000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From jonathan@CS.McGill.CA Mon Jul 31 10:06:56 1995 Subject: new Masada material I was in NYC on the weekend and stopped into the Downtown Music Gallery. The owner of the store (who incidentally helped with the writing of the Zorn discography and seems to have seen an incredible number of Zorn shows) informed me that Zorn et al would be back in the studio in a couple of months to record Masada discs hey (5) and vuv (6). Also, 4 live discs are expected to be released from the recent Masada tour, including one which was recorded live in Jerusalem. I am not sure about the former 2 discs but the live material is supposed to be released through an American company (meaning cheaper prices!). I hope this guy wasn't just pulling my tail because I sure thought that this was great news. jonathan feldman jonathan@cs.mcgill.ca http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~jonathan "I just bring out in people what's in them." - Miles Davis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From jeffs@bgsuvax.bgsu.edu Fri Aug 4 12:44:22 1995 Subject: Giant Robot My copy of Buckethead's Giant Robot CD arrived from CD Now today. So, you can get it there. I like it a lot better than Bucketheadland, but not quite as much as the Praxis albums. Lots of wacky vocal snippets, but much more playing from Bucket and Bootsy than on Bucketheadland. I'm not sure if it's worth the $30+ they charge, but it's pretty neat. Also, for Buckethead fanataics, he appears on one tune of MCM and the Monster's CD Collective Emotional Problems. Brain drums on the whole CD. Bucket has a pretty long solo, but in general, the CD is just late 80s Bay Area Chili Pepper wanna-be-ness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
