Just so you can see what I was babbling about, here's a quickie comparo of
the We Five cover and the Com Ed tray photo:

http://www.voicenet.com/~ecam/comed_wefive.html

The human poses are rather different, but the composition is similar.

The We Five cover is an especially bad looking scan because it comes from a
tiny image on an A&M dust liner, not an actual cover.

Subject: (exotica) Finds and a concert review (Long, but you know me...)

I must admit, this wasn't an easy post to write.  It's about my usual stuff
and a friend of mine.  Thanks to my wife for editing it.  I have been very
busy, so this post is very late.  Hope you find it interesting.

I just got back from Los Angeles and Park City, Utah (Madame has always
wanted to go to a film festival) where we attended the Sundance Film
Festival.

I will leave out the Film review stuff, save for the fact that one of the
Festival trailers for Sundance featured an excerpt of "Close Your Eyes" by
none other than Don Tiki!  These trailers were played before many movies, so
quite a few heard it.  Bravo Mr. Tiki!  [Ed. note: I posted this bit already
and he knows.]

Finds:

Didn't have much time to do much shopping, so I made a beeline for Bagatelle
Records.  Nice Exotica, reasonably priced.

It was a stereo celebration:
The Three Suns - Movin' and Groovin', in the original Stereo Action sleeve.
This was my first time seeing this record.

Latin-Esque - Esquivel.  Also in the Stereo Action, but a second issue.

The Eloise Trio.  This features the wonderfully ear-splitting "Chi Chi
Merengue" (isn't that right, Mr. Lobue?), although there is an alternate and
wilder take of the same song on the "Showtime at the Drumbeat" compilation.
Eloise Lewis (guitar and vocals), along with Bucky and Bert sing "Goombay
and Latin rhythms", according to liner notes (Goombay is a celebration, not
a genre).  It is a rather pleasant collection of Calypso music, featuring a
weird version of "La Bamba" (spelled "La Bomba" on the album) credited to
Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger so one can only guess who made it to the
publisher first with a old Mexican folk song in their hands.  Firstly, the
Spanish is off ("Arriba La Siba?"), it is decidedly slower than other
versions I have heard (the speed prize is still held by Bud and Travis, who
have a nice fan page at http://eserver.org/home/tom/budandtravis.html ),
however, it is still pleasant.  Although King Kini may disagree with me (he
has a picture of the album on his site!), I don't know if I would recommend
this to someone as a must-have Calypso album, but as a nice-to-have Calypso
album.  I would recommend the "Real Calypso" album on Folkways, with the
forewarning that none of it dates from the fifties and does NOT sound like
Belafonte (not that I dislike his Calypso, it is just different).

Concert:

Warning!  Not quite Exotica.  Repeat, not quite Exotica!

Glenn Horiuchi and Friends, January 22, 2000

I will confess to being a bit biased, as Glenn Horiuchi is a friend of my
wife's and mine.

What is his music like?  Well, I thought he was a Jazz musician, originally.
Yes, he is, but that would be limiting the scope of his art.  His music
reflects his Asian heritage, avant-garde influences and his political
leanings.  While some artists have written political songs, without taking
any action (hello, Ian Hunter)or some have taken political stances and
claimed that they were merely entertainers when challenged (how are you,
Rush Limbaugh?), Horiuchi has most certainly gotten involved, working with
the Redress and Reparation movement for Asian concentration camp survivors
of World War II (that would be the U.S. camps, not Germany's).  So with
regards to his politics, it may be said that he has not only composed, he
has campaigned!

The concert (no I didn't forget!) started out with "San Mi" (3 tones), which
he played on the Shamisen, a three-stringed Japanese instrument (it looks
like a banjo), with the San-Mi Shamisen Ensemble.  This group features a
Shamisen virtuoso, Lilian Nakano, who, as he later said, got him interested
in playing this instrument.  The piece was well-played by the ten-person
ensemble, even though Horiuchi himself said to the audience he was worried
about throwing them off (!).

Next was "Issei Spirit".  This was a solo piano piece, played by Horiuchi in
what we would consider to be good old Ferrante & Teicher style; in other
words, after sitting down to play, he immediately stood up and started
plucking the strings!  After that, he then began to play (perhaps attack
would be a better word) the piano, alternating note clusters with chords,
played notes and even shouted at the strings, reminding me of Stomu
Yamashta.  A fiery and disturbing piece.

"Celebration" from his Poston Sonata (Poston was a concentration camp).  It
featured Lilian Nakano on the Shamisen, Francis Wong on the Saxophone and
William Roper on the Tuba.  While I am reasonably certain that this is one
of the few pairings of Shamisen and Tuba, the problem of balance never
intruded.  The Shamisen (amplified) and the other two instruments played off
of each other well.  Roper coaxed many odd sonorities from his Tuba, even
knocking the side of it.

"Oxnard Beet" (a solo piano piece dedicated to the 1903 sugar beet strike by
Japanese and Mexican farmworker in Oxnard, CA) was played most energetically
by Jon Jang.  This was my favorite piece of the night (admittedly, the most
Jazz-based).  It is both melodic and percussive (the composition is based
partially on taiko drum rhythms, according to one of his albums' liner
notes).

The last piece, "Dewdrop" was yet another pairing of Shamisen and Tuba,
featuring Horiuchi on Shamisen, Roper on Tuba and Wong on Saxophone.  This
was a most challenging piece, that went on rather long.  Many sections of it
were quite interesting and some, I must confess, were in a different musical
language, which is good, as it keeps listeners on their toes, as it were.

All in all, a fabulous program, including a Classical Japanese Dance (with
vocals and Shamisen by Ms. Nakano).  Quite literally, something for
everyone.

Horiuchi has played with many musicians, including Joseph Jarman and Wadada
Leo Smith and  released twelve albums under his own name, starting in 1988.

What is he doing now?

According to the program, "His present project is his battle with colon
cancer, which was diagnosed in August 1999."

Glenn Horiuchi is in stage four of the disease, which is considered
terminal, however, as he rightly pointed out during the concert, "We're ALL
terminal!".

This concert was not only a great evening of music; it was also a testament
to this man's resolve, faith and humor, since it was doubtful that he was
going to be able (well enough) to PLAY (he attended the reception
afterwards, part of the time laying on his stretcher).  His condition is
sadly resonant for me since he is the same age as my brother (44) and
suffering from the same disease that took my father from me in 1992.

Glenn Horiuchi is taking all of it with inner strength and fortitude that
humbles me.  Had one not read the program, you would have heard a fellow
explaining his music and his journeys, while laughing out loud at times.
Referring to his rather hermetic dedication to his music, "...I was
politically active for some years, then I got into music full-time,
HAHAHAHA!  I used to have friends, HAHAHAHA!"  Later, one would be surprised
that the reason he stated for his being tired during the concert was due to
his cancer.

America has no great love of it's composers, whether it be helping new ones
or supporting current ones.  Yes, there are programs of study and yes, we
have more record companies than anyone else, however, compare this with
Italy, who does no less than support music with government funds.  Music is
a part of the budget.

In the USA, you can get grants, on occasion, or you can hope that your music
charts and does well.  However, Horiuchi's various milieus are not Billboard
chart-topping, MTV heavy rotation, cool tour t-shirt stuff, so he reaped the
occasional harvest of the modern American composer:

The occasional festival or concert.
The albums on small labels.
The recognition of few.

Through all of this, Horiuchi composes great music and his great spirit
persists.

It was good to attend this celebration of his music, for as my Cousin Sarah
used to say, "It's good to get flowers while you can still see them."

I got my copy yesterday, directly from Basta and I was thinking the same
thing: this has to be one of the most beautiful releases (I don't think
you can really call it a reissue) of the year. Even Basta will have a hard
time releasing something more impressing. A follow up to this double CD is
already in the works by the way.

What a coincidence! A friend from Japan just sent me a CD-R of it. In
fact, I received it only yesterday, so I have only played it once. Heavily
EZ indeed, but well worth your time. The cover of Quiet Village is very
good.
There are 2 other interesting releases in this series: 'Good night Tokyo -
a collection of Japanese clubpop music 1967-1972' and 'Midnight Tokyo - a
collection of Japanese clubjazz music 1966-1981'. Very groovy indeed. I
have no idea if these are available outside Japan.

WM, I'll mail you offlist about how to contact my Japanese friend, so he
can tell you more about Okazaki Hiroshi.

I was just doing a Yahoo search on the movie Skidoo and it brought up the

I really think there is some "collector gene"--and I definitely have
it--but when Casa Mambo's own femalely sexuated spokesperson has
collections of 50 vintage pop-up toasters*, 750 postcards, 150 retro
cookbooks and pamphlets, and 25 mixers. . . I don't believe that gene
is on the Y chromosome!

So I asked her, why do you think there tend to be more male record collectors?

Possible theories:

1) Fussing over records as an extension of hi-fi equipment fetishism.

2) Less social acceptance of violently opinionated connoisseurship in
women (this is related to what Cheryl was saying)

3) Hoarding of factual trivia is more of a Guy Thing ("This is the
same bass player who played on the first two Persuasive Percussion
LPs!")

Any other ideas?

"The Cowboy & The Lady"

Cat. No.: SLR030 Label : Smells Like Records

Bonus Tracks: 12. Sleep in the Grass 13. Chico 14. You Turn My Head Around
15. Its a Nice World to Visit (But Not to Live In)

* * * * * *

Smells Like Records continues its LEE HAZLEWOOD reissue series with perhaps
the strangest of Hazlewood's recordings: his album of duets with actress
Ann-Margret (star of Tommy, Carnal Knowledge, Speedway, and The
Flintstones). This odd gem, originally released in 1969, was the first
full-length LP on Lee's fledgling LHI label, following several singles by
Ann-Margret & Lee, Honey Ltd. and others.

Taking a break from the frenzied pace of his late 60s songwriting work,
Hazlewood recorded this collection of country-tinged and Hollywood-soaked
songs about both the sweetness and loss of love. The duo perform cuts such
as "Dark End of the Street" and "Only Mama That'll Walk the Line" in their
own utterly inimitable style: only natural for two personalities as
inimitable as Lee and Ann-Margret. In addition, Lee performs Tom Rush's "No
Regrets" solo, taking a cold, hard look at the aftermath of love gone wrong,
in typical Hazlewood fashion.

Also included as bonus tracks are four extremely rare songs, which
constituted the first two singles on LHI. "Sleep in the Grass" and "Chico",
a pair of Hazlewood originals performed as duets with Ann-Margret, produced
on a par with his most baroque masterworks, were first released as LHI-2.
"You Turned My Head Around" and "It's A Nice World To Visit (But Not to Live
In)", two slices of Nuggets-era psych-pop sung by Ann-Margret solo, are
possibly two of Lee's rarest and strangest productions. These four songs

Subject: (exotica) BJ's Wu-Name

You're not going to believe this but BJ's Wu name is:

Psycho Bitch from Hell!



No way, how cool is that?

In all seriousness, and with no disrespect to any Wanderley fans, I
forwarded BJ's Wanderley Website to several people in the office as an
example of major obsessiveness. That site is far too detailed and thorough
to be the work of anybody sane.



I know, its all a bit stale by now.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet,  being on the digest and you
were busy bees at the weekend,  but Fear is the Key is on UK TV tonight
twenty past midnight.

Interesting to hear Roy Budds soundtrack in context.

So,  is it Jazz?
Sounds like Jazz.
Roy Budd was a Jazz musician.
was anyone there,  did you see any improvisation going on?

Tunbridge Wells - a great place in deepest Kent, probably full of people
who have nothing better to do. In fact, I should probably take a trip there
for a bit of chairty shop shopping, its probably full of the discarded
record collections of old biddies.


Invite Mr Angry to join the list so we can all dis his ranting.

Subject: (exotica) Strange Truths

Ages ago I found a record that I thought to be from
the late 50s, early 60s called Strange Truths as told
by Tom O'Neil (Petal Records). It has sort of a glossy
dark acqua cover spotted with floating nabobs with
cut-out eyes - thought it wouldbe good for framing if
nothing else. I pulled it outlast night and put it on.
The narrator deliver such pieces as "He Could Not Be
Photographed", "Witch Doctors of East Transvaal", The
Psychic Donkey", "Poltergeist Activity" with a halting
Rod Serling type of brogue. Very amusing stuff - but
as I was half-listening I noticed that the eerie
background music for some of the tracks was from
Attileo Mineo's Man in Space with Sounds.

That's all.

Looks like SLR is on its way to reissue all Lee Hazlewood LPs sooner or later.
The best songs of this album were part of a reissue on Lee's own label LHI put
out a few years ago, also containing his duets with Nancy Sinatra, Nina Lizell,
Suzie Jane Hokom and Ann-Kristin Hedmark. A very good compilation, called The
Cowboy & The Ladies! Somebody just sent me a scan of yet another apparently new
re-release, Trouble is a Lonesome Town, on LHI. So I guess that one will not be
put out again by SLR.

Speaking of it: Here's a bit of an off-list question: Does anybody know the
name of the font that was used to write the name Lee Hazlewood on that album
cover and if it's available for computers (i.e. Macs, to be precise) ? Have a
look: http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Moritz.Reichelt/ebay/lee_trouble.jpg

Xylos Inc "Pretty Percussion" on Polydor.
The best cuts are classics.  The version of Aquarius reminds me a bit of
Martin Denny.  The version of "Walk on By" reminds me a bit of Mongo
Santamaria.  "Summertime" reminds me of Dick Schory and Mongo both.
Good record!!

I've got that Trouble is a Lonesome Town and really, really like it.  I'm
hardly a LH expert and have heard very little of his stuff aside from the
Nancy duets, but this one was very enjoyable.

What I found unique and interesting about this recording is that the entire
record is a story about a sleepy little town called Trouble.  Each track
begins with LH doing a sixty second or so spoken word intro which sets up the
song.  You meet a few of the towns locals, like the undertaker and that
woman, who is all "soft and gooey lookin".

Nice job on the CD reissue too - the liner notes contain the spoken stories.
The original LP (1963 I think) is a tough find.

Mo's URL reference shows a different LP cover than the one I've seen.  Same
title tho.  Anyway, check it out...
