Hmmm... Could be. I thought I heard the name Kahimi, but Kahimi, Karie and Karin
all sound alike... Let's check what the others have to say who were at the
concert. Be back in a day on this.

So sweet! I love this man. His concert 3 years ago in Circus Krone on his
60th birthday was a top 5 highlight of all concerts I have ever seen. It

Subject: (exotica) [obit] Edvin Biukovic

Cartoonist Edvin Biukovic passed away Sunday morning (Dec 5). Here's a note from
friend and collaborator Darko Macan (taken from TheForce.net):
- ---------------
A moment of silence for someone who has departed far too soon....

Edvin Biukovic died early on Sunday morning, 5th of December, from a
heart failure and the resulting collapse of the lungs. All the
reanimation attempts were unsuccessfull. At the time he was
hospitalized at "Rebro" clinic in Zagreb, Croatia, after being
diagnosed with brain tumor two weeks ago. He was awaiting an operation
and no one expected an outcome like this.

Edvin Biukovic was best known for his work on Grendel Tales, Human
Target and a couple of Star Wars series. A brilliant artist, he was
awarded a Russ Manning Best Newcomer award in 1995.

Eddy, an only child, has left behind both of his parents, many a
shocked friend and even more admirers.

Spare him a prayer, folks.

Welcome back, Oh Jane!

This is more like Christmas smoldering but "Dave's True Story" has a new EP
 out with 3 winter/Christmas songs:
 Winter Wonderland,  Let It Snow,  and This Christmas, a DTS original.

http://www.davestruestory.com/
The web page is a little confusing. They seem to be listing the songs
separately but they must all be on the same disk. That is what I have.
One of the songs has a low-key "wow" in it that just knocks me out.

Just ask Thinkmatic, I'm the LAST person to be recommending a Christmas CD.
 but the 2 winter songs are so cool I'm hoping it will snow like heck just
so I can play the songs to death on my show.

Lead singer Kelly Flint is described as a Joni Mitchell type singer.
Guitarist David Cantor has writes beautiful songs. Some of them have sexual
 themes and so his music  has been described as "kinky".  I blushed when I
heard a few. Not since discovering Tom Waits have I been smitten by such
melody and lyrics.

Laid back, late night, acoustic lounge with a twist.  DTS is showing up in
NE and Boston in January. The wife and I will be there and trying out
"Kelly's Pink Belt Martini ".

>>i think you should get it Nat, especially if Kenyon is your man.

BasicHip did an excellent job of describing this LP and movie.  It's not
really crime jazz but has more of a Southern sound.  It has more strings than
your typical crime jazz or Hopkins LP.  It's moody in the same way as a good
crime jazz LP with lots of seductive sax bits.  It's a good score.  If you've
caught the Hopkins bug, you should get it.

>>Best bet for acquiring Michel Magne's Tropical Fantasy it is the bootleg
paired with The Markko Polo Adventures that came out a few years back.

Yes, these two recordings pair up quite well.  They're both rooted in the
Denny sound but have a little more drama to them.  The Magne CD sounds like
Martin Denny threw a wild party and Andre Popp showed up with a few of his
friends (and maybe Yma Sumac was there to throw in a few screams).

Lyman's album was reissued by Ryko as "With a Christmas Vibe". And is
highly recommended!

You will also find a link to a site a I highly recommend, SHOW AND TELL

site's creator, Will, was kind enough to lend me his Flight Final LP for this

BasicHip wrote: <And whotta cover!  This movie still sizzles (without so

IMO one of the top 10 record covers ever! That remaindered soundtrack
book some of us bought from Daedalus recently has a nice full page pic,
but the album glossy is nicer. I left the record sitting out in view for
a long time, finally realized that looking at a woman's eyes turned
sideways while she's lying down can be quite, er disconcerting. Baker,
Malden, and especially slimeball extraordinaire Eli Wallach are all
outstanding. BasicHip's review of the music is on the money.

I'm soooo torn up that CBS did not give Kathie Lee Gifford a Christmas
special this year - Rosie OD and Amy Grant specials won't cut it, cuz
wacky KLG never failed to deliver the goods. Thus, this Saturday it's
time to wallow again in the surreal train-wreck wonderfulness of Debbie
Reynolds as the Singing Nun. God bless TCM! And just think, I just saw
Souer Sourire's LP on eBay, only $15.99 with NO RESERVE!  This LP along
with the TJB's Whipped Cream are the Yin and Yang of thrift store
records. Ubiquitous, cosmic, universal truths available at each and
every Goodwill.......

>what were yours?

Not necessarily the best shows, but these are all shows I remember fondly
as being something special. I know you will never have heard of a number of
these artists. Some years are better guesses than others.

1976 - An unknown free jazz ensemble played as part of a multi-media event
after-hours at my high school. Maybe called The Spiritual Energy Collective
or something like that. I'd been listening to free jazz on college radio
and records, but it was real fine to *see* musicians blasting it out live.
My first sighting of auto brake drums as percussion instruments, and
they've followed me ever since.

1980 & 1981 - The Stickmen - Egads, Allentown - A post-punk-funk combo from
Philly. Sort of like The Contortions, only, er, wilder.

1982 - Etron Fou Leloublan - basement of a closed-down department store,
Allentown - A unique post-rock-avant-etc combo from France, that gently
rewired normal expectations of a "rock performance."

1983 - Skeleton Crew - small basement theater in a hotel, Allentown - Fred
Frith and Tom Cora pulled loaves and fishes from their ramshackle
collection of instruments and noisemakers.

1983 - Pylon - Zadar's, New Hope - They picked up the room and just gave it
a spin for the duration. Even I danced.

1983 - Dead Milkmen - Harleysville Youth Center - Their first show ever.
What a racket.

1983 - The Drum Dorks - barn party, Hilltown - A silly
noise/comedy/performance percussion duo. You had to be there, probably.

1988 - Glass Eye - forget the club name, Philadelphia - An unjustly
overlooked band from Austin, TX. Hard to describe -- art pop maybe? I saw
them a couple of times and both shows were amazing, but this one (circa the
"Bent By Nature" album) was a really transcendent performance.

1988 - Frank Zappa - Muhlenberg College, Allentown - His last tour. The
most amazingly hi-fi live sound I've ever experienced -- and this in a
cavernous gymnasium. Also the most intimate feeling "big show" I've ever
seen. Such a strange mixture of extreme virtuoso-ism and offhand goofing.
And the most wildly diverse audience I've ever seen.

1989 or 90? - Baby Flamehead - Khyber Pass, Philly - Eclectic, non-folk,
acoustic rock band, or something like that. Swell covers of both the Sesame
Street and Speed Racer themes (the latter very slow and low-key).

1992 or so? - The Autumn Carousel - Khyber Pass, Philly - Tongue in cheek,
harmony vocal soft pop. Actually an offshoot from Nixon's Head.

1999 - Burn Witch Burn - The Trocadero, Philly - The warmup set in their
dressing room. Acoustic Celtic/Gypsy/etc in a dark vein.

1999 - Butterfly Joe - The Trocadero/Fergie's Pub, Philly - Classic pop
songs. I mean, new classic pop songs. Two very different shows. The Troc
set included horn and string backing from Big Mess and was simply
beautiful. Two months later, the show in the upstairs room at Fergie's
featured the core quartet (under rehearsed and tired to the point of
silliness) and was a total shambles. But a very friendly and entertaining
shambles, and I laughed more than I've laughed in years. Brake drum used in
both shows.

Geez, how can you people remember all this stuff?  I can remember a few
shows and vaguely how old I might have been at the time but nothing like
this kind of detail.
But I'll take a shot at a few names and some vague eras.

In my teens and twenties, Jefferson Airplane live concert.
Oh here's one with an actual date...
Summer of 71 - free live concert at Hyde Park in London (the year AFTER the
Blind Faith free concert)
Heads, Hands and Feet and Humble Pie opening for Grand Funk.
Another one with a date:
Xmas season 75 - Springsteen for the first time at a smallish hall.

As a teenager, Johnny Winter at some rock festival, Grateful Dead and
Joplin at that festival where they took a train cross-country.  "Festival
Express"?

Also as a teenager, The Flock.  Nobody showed up and after playing their
hit, they launched into a free-jazz jam.  I thought it sucked but I also
thought it was cool.

In my twenties, the two greatest live club performers, who I saw a number
of times were Houndog Taylor and Wayne Cochrane.

Towards the end of my twenties, Rockpile and Elvis Costello.

Somewhere in the mid-twenties.  A totally unknown and unannounced Tom Waits
opening for Maria Muldaur.  Subsequently saw Mr.Waits a few more times and
he was always great.

I can't think of anything that even comes close to lounge or exotica.  Oh
wait, I saw Johnny Mathis when I was about 13.  Around the same time, I
also met Joe Williams and Oscar Peterson, just sitting around in the
livingroom of my friend's house.

Believe it or not, I saw an amazing Gino Vanelli show once.  In a small
club, it was him, two guys on a massive bank of keyboards.  (One was his
brother and the other one might have been this local guy Fred Mandel who
played with Alice Cooper.)  And the drummer was Michael Shrieve from Santana.
It was a tour-de-force.

I'm a bit embarrassed about this one but around 1972, I saw Harry Chapin in
this very small (legendary) club here called the Riverboat and I was blown
away.

I can't end with Harry Chapin.  How about something more recent?

Okay, about 12 years ago.  John Zorn with Naked City.

Subject: Re: (exotica) Good morning, good shows, bad memory

my top concerts/performances:

1971 - Procol Harum with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
? - k.d. lang at the edmonton folk fest. i think it was soon after she signed
with sire records. she wore a tuxedo and opened with an electrifying
"Thunderball." also saw k.d. in a play at a small edmonton theatre before she
was famous (before she was even k.d. -- she was "kathy" at the time). it was
an all singing role, she was country singer styled after patsy cline, part of
a C & W "greek chorus." i was much more enthusiastic about another actress in
the same play.
?? - Jane Siberry. Several memorable concerts including an outdoor one
downtown & one at the edmonton folk fest in the pouring rain.
1988 - Leonard Cohen - my favourite of the lot. it was the start of Cohen's
north american tour, he played for 3 hours, was in fine voice (relatively
speaking, of course) and had a great band including an oud player.
1991 (?) - Kate and Anna McGarrigle at the folk fest. with Kate's children
Martha and Rufus Wainwright (who was 17 and absolutely adorable).
1998 - Stompin' Tom Connors.

best concert i missed: Tom Jones on his last tour. Couldn't afford the 50
bucks at the time. regret it now.

best concert i hope to see. Tom Waits. Been waiting about two decade for him
to make an appearance in these parts.

best fantasy concert: The Three Toms: Waits, Jones & Connors.

Those are the ones I'm jealous of.  Actually I used to go to this bluegrass
festival in North Carolina every summer in the mid-seventies but don't
think I saw anyone famous.  Not that it mattered.  Everyone was amazing.

Only for their version of "Cast Your Face to the Wind"(intended typo).  I
also saw them in "Go Go Mania".  Quite the lively crew!

Okay, tell us the story.

That would have been nice.  But how about Boston bands?  Or bands that were
marketed under that "Boss-Town" sound moniker?
Did you ever see the Beacon Street Union for instance?  I can imagine they
might have sucked live but I don't suppose I would have cared.

Gershon Kingsley and Moondog in the same show! I say...!
But if you want to hear the definite Kingsley album, please try "Much =

Subject: (exotica) [obits] Kenny Baker, I Roy

    LONDON (AP) -- Jazz musician Kenny Baker, who performed for
sellout British audiences in the 1950s, has died. He was 78.
    Baker died Tuesday in a hospital in Felpham in southern
England, his manager Jim Simpson said. He had been hospitalized for
 three weeks suffering from a viral infection.
    Baker is best known for his work with the band, Baker's Dozen,  and for his numerous performances on film and television
soundtracks. A session musician, he performed with many stars,
including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Bennett. His work
can also be heard on James Bond movie soundtracks.
    ``Everyone regarded him on a different level to any other
trumpeter in the British Isles,'' said British jazz musician John
Dankworth. ``He was a world class performer.''
    Born in Withernsea in northeast England, Baker briefly played  piano, violin and accordion before settling on the cornet, a brass
instrument similar to the trumpet.
    At 17, he headed to London where he became a popular session
musician. During World War II, he left the professional jazz
circuit to serve with the Royal Air Force and help put on shows for
British troops.
    After the war, his reputation as a soloist grew and he shared  top billing with comedy acts such as Benny Hill and the duo
Morecambe and Wise.
    In the 1950s, Baker started playing with the Baker's Dozen, a  jazz band that packed in crowds throughout Britain.
    Earlier this year, Baker was awarded an MBE, or Member of the  Order of British Empire, from Queen Elizabeth II. He also was named
the best trumpet player at the British Jazz awards, the third time
he won the honor.
    Baker is survived by his wife, Sue, and daughter, Julie.
Funeral arrangements were not available.
