Subject: (exotica) Costello/Bacharach ... and Frisell

It's funny how discussions on one list can mirror parallel discussions on
other lists. Here's excerpts from a recent thread on the Zorn list:
- -Lou


I stumbled across the following news of Bill Frisell which, oddly enough,
ties into the Elvis Costello / Burt Bacharach thread that's been working its
way through the Zornlist lately:

<< For those who have been wondering when Bill Frisell was going to make an
appearance in their city anytime soon, we here at Songline / Tone Field,
wanted to let you know that he has taken this year "off" from touring and
spent the last 6 months (and will spend the next 5 or 6) in a state of hyper
productivity.  Some of the results of that activity can be heard on the
upcoming (next year) Elvis Costello - Burt Bacharach CD
on the jazz label Verve which features Frisell's arrangements of the same 12
tunes Elvis and Burt have recorded together on their pop record for Mercury.
The Verve record is produced by Lee Townsend and features Bill on guitar,
Viktor Krauss on bass, Brian Blade on drums and a horn section comprised of
Curtis Fowlkes on trombone, Ron Miles on trumpet, Don Byron on clarinet and
Billy Drewes on saxophone. There's rumor that some pretty big name vocalists
may contribute their talents to a couple of the tunes, but the cat isn't out
of the bag on that just yet. Both records are due to be released in early
1999.>>

Subject: (exotica) Exotic country

Somebody sent me a Lee Hazelwood tape.
And as original as his music is, of course there's a lot that's familiar
about it too.  So I got to wondering if I could make a tape of stuff that
reminded me of Lee.
So I started paying more attention to all this quasi-country that you see
in delete bins and a lot of which I already have in my "collection".
All this country from the seventies mostly.  Stuff that in its time was
sort of the equivalent of "New Country".Stuff that I'm having a very very
hard time characterizing or classifying.
In any case, I can't say it's country and I can't say it reminds me of Lee
Hazelwood but I would like to recommend JOE SOUTH.  Not just for the
obvious hits like "Games People Play" either.
There's something unclassifiable about his "quasi country rock with
electric sitar" sound, which makes him a perfect candidate for exoticat
rediscovering.
I'm not saying "if you like Lee Hazelwood, you'll like Joe South" but I
think you have to have a taste for the arcane to like Lee so maybe you
would like Joe too.

Oh and by the way, I started to make the tape and I put some BOBBIE GENTRY
on it, from this album I have called "Touch em with love".  And I can't
remember what people here were saying about HANK LEVINE but he produced a
few songs on this record.
The other producer on the record is DON TWEEDY and I just bought an
instrumental record by him called "Love theme from Romeo and Juliet" (with
liner notes by Quincy Jones) and he does a surprisingly cool version of
"Oliver"... which will go on a tape as soon as I can figure out how to
finish this "reminds me of Lee Hazelwood" tape.

From: Lou Smith <[e-mail]>
Subject: (exotica) Gene Autry obit

    LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Gene Autry, the legendary singing cowboy of
radio, television and movies who became a wealthy radio and TV station mogul
and major league baseball team owner, has died at his Los Angeles home. He
was 91.
    Autry died at 8 a.m. today. The cause of death was not immediately
announced, but Autry had been in failing health for some time.
    Autry parlayed a guitar and a horse named Champion into a career that
included 95 films, and then built a financial empire composed of a radio
network, television stations, a chain of hotels and the ownership of the
California Angels major league baseball team.
    Autry's films of the 1930s, '40s and '50s were typically packed with action
and thin on romance. He always played himself, wore a white hat, never shot
first, and never drank, smoked or kissed the leading lady.
    Although he gained his early fame as a radio singer Autry led the
popularity poll of Western stars for several years and is the only Western
star to be listed among the 10 top moneymakers in Hollywood films (1938-42).
    With the baseball team he bought in 1960, Autry turned loose his energies
and opened wide his vast financial resources to produce a winner. He poured
out huge financial bonuses to untried youths, purchased players left and
right, hired successful former Dodger executives to run the show. Yet for 18
years the man who seemingly had
everything went without the one thing he wanted to climax his career: a
World Series ring.
    He sold the team to a group headed by Disney.
    Autry's first wife, Ina Mae Spivey, died in 1980; in 1981 he married
Jacqueline Ellam. He had no children by either marriage.

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Gene Autry, who parlayed a $5 mail order guitar into a
career as Hollywood's first singing cowboy, died today. He was 91.
    Autry, who also built a multimillion-dollar fortune in broadcasting and was
the original owner of the California Angels baseball team, died at his home
in the city's Studio City neighborhood, said Karla Buhlman, vice president
of Gene Autry Entertainment. His death came less than three months after the
death of his great rival, Roy Rogers.
    Though a pennant for his Angels eluded him, Autry succeeded at just about
anything he undertook: radio, records, songwriting, movies, TV, real estate
and business.
    He first sang on radio in 1928, and then went on to make 95 films and star
in a TV show from 1950 to 1956. He also cut 635 records, including ``Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer'' and his signature ``Back in the Saddle Again,''
which was back on the
charts in 1993 as part of the soundtrack to the hit movie ``Sleepless in
Seattle.''
    Autry hung up his performing spurs in 1956, but continued to own four radio
stations, the Gene Autry Hotel in Palm Springs, and several other
properties. In 1982, he sold Los Angeles television station KTLA for $245
million.
    He ranked for many years on the Forbes magazine list of the 400 richest
Americans, before he fell in 1995 to the magazine's ``near miss'' category
with an estimated net worth of $320 million.
    Autry, who once turned down a chance to play in the minor leagues, had been
the Angels' owner since the team was formed as an American League expansion
franchise in 1961.
    In spring 1995, Autry announced that the Walt Disney Co. was buying a part
interest in the team, and the following year Disney took operating control.
Recent baseball seasons ended as all seasons have ended for the Angels, with
Autry still awaiting the team's first World Series appearance. Disney had an
agreement to acquire Autry's remaining share of the team at his death.
    Throughout his business dealings, Autry collected Western memorabilia and
art. In December 1988, the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, built largely
with funds from Autry's foundations, opened in Los Angeles' Griffith Park.
    ``I felt that I owed something. The West has been very kind to me over the
years,'' Autry said at the time. He called the museum, which covers the West
from prehistoric times to Hollywood, a gift to the world rather than a
monument to himself.
    Among the items in the $54 million museum are an 1870s-era steam fire
engine from Nevada, guns owned by Annie Oakley and Wyatt Earp, and costumes
of TV's Lone Ranger and Tonto.
    He first came to Los Angeles in 1934 to appear with Ken Maynard in a movie
called ``Old Santa Fe.''
    ``I was the first singing cowboy in that picture,'' Autry once said. ``John
Wayne had made an earlier movie in which he played a singing cowboy, but he
didn't do his own singing.''
    It was the heyday of the Western, and Autry was ranked top Western star at
the box office from 1937-43, and in 1940-42 he was in the Top 10 of all
movie box office favorites. Smiley Burnett was popular as Autry's comic
sidekick, and Autry's horse, Champion, also was an audience favorite.
    Rogers replaced Autry as Republic Studios' top cowboy when Autry took time
out to serve as a flier in the Army Air Corps during World War II. After the
war, he went over to Columbia Pictures and obtained a new partner -- Pat
Buttram. Among his postwar pictures were ``The Last Roundup,'' 1947, and
``Riders in the Sky,'' 1949.
    After Rogers died July 6, Autry called it ``a terrible loss for me. I had
tremendous respect for Roy and considered him a great humanitarian and an
outstanding American.''
    Autry's broadcasting career included appearances on the ``Melody Ranch''
CBS radio show, beginning in 1939. From 1950-56, he was host of ``The Gene
Autry Show'' on CBS-TV, one of the first television series made by a motion
picture star.
    Autry's records sold more than 40 million copies. His first gold record was
``That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine.'' ``Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'' has
sold 10 million copies and is a Christmas perennial. He wrote many of the
songs he performed.
    Autry was born Sept. 29, 1907, in Tioga, Texas, and grew up in the small
Oklahoma town of Ravia.
    As a boy, Autry occasionally earned spending money singing at local
nightspots and with the extra cash, he invested in a mail order guitar and
taught himself to play.
    By 18, Autry was working as a telegrapher on a St. Louis to San Francisco
railroad line. It was here that he met comedian Will Rogers who had heard
Autry strumming on his guitar and singing.
    ``You're good,'' Rogers is said to have told Autry. ``Stick to it, young
fellow, and you'll make something of yourself.''
    Autry began singing on radio shows in 1928 as ``Oklahoma's Yodeling
Cowboy.'' In the early '30s, he was a success on the popular ``WLS Barn
Dance'' in Chicago.
    Among the honors accorded to Autry over the years was the naming of an
Oklahoma town for him. Gene Autry, Okla., population 175, is about 20 miles
west of Ravia.
    Autry stopped appearing in the movies and on television in the mid-1950s to
concentrate on his businesses.
    In 1991, a letter written in the '30s came to light that said the performer
had no future in Hollywood. The note from producer Al Levoy was found in the
Republic Pictures archives.
    It said the young Autry needed to improve his acting, that a preliminary
acting course was ``evidently wasted'' and that the actor needed darker
makeup to ``give him the appearance of virility.''
    Autry's response: ``A lot of that is true. I got better as I went along. I
couldn't get any worse.''

Nope, 2 different movies:
Young Girls of Rochefort = Les demoiselles de Rochefort
Umbrellas of Cherbourg = Les parapluies de Cherbourg

Francoise Dorleac was a wonderful actress. I warmly recommend Roman
Polanski's Cul de Sac, and Philippe de Broca's Man from Rio (L'homme de
Rio). Both are easily available on video in the US, so probably even
easier to find in Europe.

I just got the new Japanese (as opposed to their Emperor Norton release)
CD by Fantastic Plastic Machine, Luxury. Lorraine Bowen sings Eurythmics'
"There Must Be an Angel". As sexy as "Julie Christie": I'm in love!
Apparently she has 2 CDs out: Greatest Hits 1 and 2.

The rest of the FPM CD is excellent and should appeal to exoticats who
enjoy the mix of computers and easy listening or bossa. Other guests of
note include Yukari Fresh, Simon Fisher Turner (aka The King of
Luxembourg) and Andreas Dorau.

The software is very cool, and very minimal (200k, I think)
It was originally written for the Commodore 64. These guys are
real geeks! when I saw Man or Astroman Gamma Clones, they were running
ORI back to basics on an old IIci or IIsi. It will run on the very excellent
7100 66MHZ (a machine
I SWORE would be fast enough for the next ten years) with
no problem at all. It does not have any ability to manipulate sounds,
so you will need some kind of soundediting application - there are some
fine shareware ones around - I use the commercial program Soundedit 16.

The back to basics software is found at www.reinfromation.com. from
there, go to the ORI mart. You can download the full version, but it's
crippled untill you register (can't save your work) I'll send my reg code
to hold you over untill they get your money order and send your own
code. (PROMISE to buy it if you think you will use it!!!)

Subject: (exotica) Beau Hunks play Raymond Scott

Hi everyone,

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

Marco Kalnenek

Subject: (exotica) The Melting Pot, vol. 2

Hi y'all,
Didn't write a line for a while because I spent some time
a) listening to all the tapes I got from you friends in
exchange to my "Italian 6ts Girly Pop" tape (thanks for
the massive feedback);
b) reorganizing my records, and actually LISTENING
to some I passed on for the reason that I have realised that I buy
more records than I can listen to (anyone shares this frustrating
sensation?).

I almost forgot that a couple years ago I bought this vinyl
compilation. I thought it was a funk/rare groove/dancefloor jazz
comp.: something I like, but also that can wait for a couple of years
before careful listening. Boy was I wrong! It's all solid groovy
easiness that blows my mind off!
Tracklisting:
- - Lalo Schifrin: Ape Shuffle
- - Richard "Groove" Holmes: Ain't No Trouble On The Mountain
- - Gustav Brom Orchestra: Waldmadchen
- - Big Jim H & His Men Of Rhythm: Jungle Fever
- - Diwan Paigankar Group: Karma Sitar
- - Nelsinho: Upa neguinho
- - U.S. Airforce Band: Papa's Got A Brand New Bag
- - Dimenzio: Bamba
- - Percy Faith: First Light
- - Hard Meat: Freewheel

The label says nothing but:
"GGLP002 -
Good Groove Musik
Box 2058
16121 SOLNA"

Does anybody know where the hell Solna is? So that I can write
and tell them to produce more "good groove musik". I guess there must
have been at least a vol. 1 out, but never saw it. Anyone knows
something more? Pretty sure it comes out of Somewhere, Europe.

If someone is interested in having it taped down, I'm ready, willing
& able for a tape exchange. Just write me privately.

basic hip playlist:

FRED LOWERY   Walking Along (Kicking The Leaves)
Walking Along Kicking The Leaves   (Decca)
 - blind, whistling virtuoso

TOOTS THIELEMANS   Wives And Lovers
A Whistler And His Guitar   (ABC Paramount)
 - with Dick Hyman on organ

JACK MONTROSE   Meet Mr. Gordon
The Jack Montrose Sextet   (Pacific Jazz)
 - Bob Gordon IS Mr. Gordon on baritone sax

GEORGE DUNING   This Is The Naked City
The Naked City   (Colpix)
 - a "musical portrait" of a city

SHORTY PETTERSTEIN   Telephone Therapy
The Wide, Weird World Of Shorty Petterstein   (World Pacific)
 - encyclopedia salesman gets more than he bargined for

ROGER ERICSON   If I Only Had A Brain
Disney Meets The Wizard   (Richmond)
 - Disney and Oz tunes, heavy on the percussion

OSCAR BROWN, JR.   The Snake
Tell It Like It Is   (Columbia)
 - Al Wilson had a top 40 hit with this in 1968

DEL CLOSE   How Do You Like Your Love?
The Nervous Set   (Columbia)
 - partner of John Brent (How To Speak Hip) and from the beatnik musical,
featuring Larry Hagman, among others

LALO SCHIFRIN   Scorpio's Theme
The Dirty Harry Anthology   (Aleph)
 - absolutely chilling!!!

THE FREE DESIGN   Daniel Dolphin
Bubbles   (Siesta)
 - a good example of the odd lyrics The Free Design are known for

JOHAN DALGAS FRISCH   Sukiyaki
Symphony Of The Birds   (MGM)
 - delightful version of 1963 hit of Kyu Sakamoto featuring field recordings
of tropical birds

RAY MARTIN   Thunderball
Thunderball And Other Themes   (RCA Camden)
 - have yet to score a Ray Martin LP that is disappointing.  Look for "Martin
Goes Latin", you'll think it's Esquivel

UNKNOWN   Eat To Live
One Of One: Snapshots In Sound   (Dish)
 - What a concept!  Mark Fay and Melinda Simon compiled bits and pieces of
"Recordio Discs" (record your own voice) to create this truly unique listening
experience.

ENNIO MORRICONE   Twist Of The Spinsters
Malamondo   (Epic)

THE POPPY FAMILY   Which Way You Goin, Billy?
A Good Thing Lost: 1968-1973   (What Are Records)
 - yes, Susan and Terry (Seasons In The Sun) Jacks, The Poppy Family.  I never
gave them a thought as a 15 year old in 1971.  But now, here they are,
rediscovered by me and sounding damn good sandwiched between Morricone and
Haack.

BRUCE HAACK   School For Robots
Hush Little Robot   (Q.D.K. Media)
 - wowee!  have not heard anything this weird since Joe Meek's "I Hear A New
World".  Highly recommended, but not for the swing crowd.  HA HA HA HA!

THE T-BONES   No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)
No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)   (Liberty)
 - the alka seltzer jingle.  If you are into the NOW SOUND, you may want to
give them a try.  The LP, "Sippin and Chippin" is full of cool organ, guitar
and girly ooos and ahhs.

101 STRINGS   Love Is Blue
The Sounds Of Love   (A/S Records)
 - some very sexy moans and groans by Bebe and some of the cheesiest spoken
word by Joe something, I forgot his name.

SAMMY DAVIS JR.   Baretta's Theme
Barnie's Grooves   (Mood Mosaic)

LIVING GUITARS   Paint It Black
Play Songs Made Famous By The Rolling Stones   (RCA Camden)
 - the usually cheap and near mint "Living Series" has a number of very
pleasant surprises

ANTHONY QUINN   In My Own Way
In My Own Way, I Love You   (Capitol)
 - great personality record of love and sissy stuff like that

LLOYD GREEN   The Cassions Go Rolling Along
Day For Decision   (Lil' Darlin)
 - steel guitarist going patriotic in theme

RALPH PLATT   It Took A Miracle
The Birds Sing His Praise Volume 2   (Sacred)
 - on of those creepy religious records I continue to seek out.  Platt
whistles like a bird and Lorin Whitney supplies the haunting, funeral organ
accompaniment.

PETE DRAKE   Happy Tracks
Steel Away   (Canaan)
 - another from the creepy religious record file.  this time, steel guitar and
I guess that is a sonovox he uses to make his gee-tar talk

Go-go
Was this a 60's dance craze in the same way that disco came
along in the 70's?   There seem to have been albums by many
artists with the title <artist> a-go-go, and films show people
- - not necessarily young people - gyrating in noisy crowds
with women in parrot cages around.  Was there a distinct
gap between the twist and go-go?

Thanks, Hugh.

Subject: (exotica) US TV grab-bag

Suddenly, movies are coming out of the woodwork (eastern daylight times).

"The Ruling Class" (1972) - Bravo - Sunday night (tonight!) - 9:00pm, 1:00am -
An unusual dark satire with occasional song 'n' dance numbers. Peter O'Toole
delivers one of his patented bizarre performances as a delusional British
nobleman.

"Shoot The Piano Player (1960) - Bravo - Monday night - 9:00pm, 1:00am - Noir
from Truffaut, with Charles Aznavour as a pianist mixed up with gangsters.

"Arabian Nights" (1942) - AMC - Tuesday night - 11:00pm - Another Sabu, Maria
Montez, Jon Hall fantasy adventure. With Shemp Howard as Sinbad!

"The Third Man" (1949) - AMC - Wednesday afternoon - 3:00pm - Maybe this time
they'll really show it.

"A Shot In The Dark" (1964) - AMC - Wednesday night - 10:00pm - The second
Inspector Clouseau film. Music by Mancini as usual.

"The Blue Angel" (1930) - AMC - Friday morning - 6:00am - Stodgy professor,
Emil Jannings, makes a goof of himself over bad girl, Marlene Dietrich. Most
likely to be the English language version.

"Brazil" (1985) - Bravo - Friday night - 9:00pm, 1:00am - Terry Gilliam's wild
retro-future fantasy. Supposed to air in letterbox format.

"Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" (1957) - AMC - Saturday morning - 10:00am -
Jayne Mansfield and Tony Randall in another George Axelrod media satire.

"Carnival Of Souls" (1962) - A&E - Early Sunday (Oct. 11) 7:00am and Early
Monday (Oct. 12) 4:00am - The atmospheric yarn of a woman caught between two
worlds. Loaded with spooky organ music. Creepiest part is actually the
non-spectral neighbor who keeps trying to put the moves on her.

Also, this Wednesday at 8:00pm & Midnight on A&E's Biography - "Wayne Newton,
King Of Las Vegas".

On a bummer note, Bravo is now interrupting their programming with commercial
breaks. They've certainly skidded down the slippery slope from the days when
they showed movies uncut and uninterrupted. :oP
