You should watch the WW2 Frank Capra documentaries 'Why We Fight.' One of the 6
volumes, 'The Battle of Russia' is one hour of endless praise to the brave people
of the Soviet Union.   I watched this episode in amazement -- its a great WW2 era
propaganda film - one of the best I've seen, but so strange because of its
pro-Soviet slant approved by the U.S. gov't.  (also odd is seeing other WW2 era
films with children saying the pledge of allegiance before the words 'under God'
were tacked on)

You can now buy the entire 6 volume 'Why We Fight' series at musicgraveyard.com
for only $4.  They also carry Enoch Light's 'Spaced Out' CD for $4, and a CD
called 'Invasion - Sound Effects from outer Space' (99 in all) for $2

Also, back to the Soviet front, I would recommend the 1990 out of print book 'Rock
Around the Bloc: A History of Rock Music in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union'
by Timothy Ryback.   A well written review of this book is located here

    hmm, almost all the liner notes are in english except for a small bit at
the very bottom. but i can't find isaac hayes name anywhere.  which of
course doesn't mean it was not him. someone on the p5 list talked about it

As has been stated before Midler's husband, Martin Von Hasselberg is/was
half of the Kipper Kids.  They were in one cable special that Bette Midler
did called "Mondo Beyondo", in which they trash a rest room and she cowers
in a stall.  I have also seen a video in which they, in full strange makeup
sing a cockney-accented version of "Eight Days a Week", with ukeleles (now
THAT'S Exotica, babay!).

Speaking of which, I started the long and unenviable task of rearranging my
albums and I found that I had about 50 or so vintage "Exotica"
and  somewhat related releases.  To think, all I was looking for was
information on Moondog and Yma Sumac when I joined the list two years ago.

I hope to put up the sound clip I mentioned on my web to-night.

No, I didn't much care for the Kipper Kids either, which may just be the point,

Subject: (exotica) [obit] Sandy Baron

 January 29, 2001
Sandy Baron, Veteran Comic Who Antagonized Morty Seinfeld, Dies at 64
By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
Sandy Baron, the stand-up comic, actor and songwriter perhaps best known in recent years for his recurring role on "Seinfeld" as Jack Klompus, the nemesis of Seinfeld's father, Morty, died on Jan. 21 at a nursing home in Los Angeles. Mr. Baron, who lived in the Van Nuys section of the city until entering the home recently, was 64.

He had been suffering for many years from emphysema, said a friend, Treva Silverman of Los Angeles.

Mr. Baron's career took him from nightspots like the Copacabana and Upstairs at the Downstairs in New York to the Broadway stage in "Tchin-Tchin" with Anthony Quinn, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next" with Kirk Douglas, "Arturo Ui" with Christopher Plummer, "Generation" with Henry Fonda and the title role of "Lenny," the Lenny Bruce story.

On the the screen Mr. Baron appeared in films like "Birdy," "The Out of Towners," "The Grifters" and Woody Allen's "Broadway Danny Rose," in which he played one of the narrators gathered around a table in the Carnegie Delicatessen.

On television Mr. Baron starred in "Walter and Emily" with Brian Keith and Cloris Leachman, and "Hey, Landlord." He was a regular on "That Was the Week That Was" and the Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin shows. He also played roles on shows like "The Defender," "Naked City," "Law and Order," "Crime Story" and "Starsky and Hutch."

As a songwriter, he co-wrote "A Natural Man," which was a hit for Lou Rawls.

He wrote and performed on popular comedy albums like "Out of the Mouths of Babes," "Hip Fairy Tales," "Sick Along With Us!" and "Presidential Press Conference." And he opened concerts and appearances for performers like the Fifth Dimension, Della Reese, Vic Damone, Neil Diamond, Bobby Vinton and Sergio Mendes.

Mr. Baron, whose given name was Sanford, was the son of Max Beresofsky, a house painter, and his wife, Helen, a waitress. Mr. Baron graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn.

In a 1966 interview as he was preparing for the premiere of NBC's "Hey, Landlord," in which he played a bright, fast-talking college graduate who wants to become a comedian, he recalled his youth in Brownsville.

He said that at 17 he was the leader of a street gang and, upon the death of his father, the head of his household. But despite the temptation to run with the gang, he studied hard and won a scholarship to Brooklyn College.

After graduation in 1958, he became a teacher, but he said he and the school system were soon at odds, and he was eased out of the profession when his schedule was cut.

"I then and there decided to become a comedian," he said. "I immediately changed my name, my clothes and my nose."

He served an apprenticeship in little clubs and the Catskills, where he made $250 a week, and later sharpened his skills with award-winning improvisational troupes like the Premise and Second City.

"Those were my commedia dell'arte days," he said, recalling them in 1964 when he was appearing on NBC's pioneering political satire, "That Was the Week That Was." Discussing comedy, he said, "A comedian should use his face, his body, his gestures, not just his mouth."

Mr. Baron is survived by his sister, Roz Asherman, of Brooklyn.

Once, recalling his first job as a stand-up comedian in a dive, Mr. Baron said he had finished his act, breathless and terror-stricken, when the owner, who appeared to be a mobster, walked up to him.

"Kid," the man said, "I hope you don't take this personal, but you stink."

Check out this LP.
"The golden age of british dancebands" 1936-1938
World Records Limited SH 365

Track 5. "Free" Billy Cotton and his band

I quote:
Free...
Everything we want in life is free
Things we couldnt buy with LSD (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mother can confirm =
this)
Someone put them there for you an me
Free...
Who would pay to hear a symphony
Listen to the songbirds in the tree
Songbirds sing a lovely melody
We got the archers and the alleys
Who shelter us from winter's cold
We got the green hills and the valley's
when summer is spreading her gold
And its free
Noone could be luckier than we
Nature hasn't got a lock or key
Isnt that the way it ought to be

Then listen to track 6. "When my dreamboat comes home" Bram Martin and =
his band

I just noticed it and I started cry. And cry. Because it gave me such =
hope.

See you
Magnus

This might be a slang expression for something but it clearly doesn't refer to the drug which wasn't invented until 1943.

Noooo! You are probably right in this... Sic! :(
But I preffer to live in a dreamboat :) Whats wrong with hope? Why
anyway did I pick that LP, and why did it sound like this to me? To me
anything's possible, and music is messages. All that man produce is
part of the truth. In another reality time doesnt exist, and I have
been there. It is because of moments like this I continue search for
music. And, the lyrics was nice, even if you hear pounds, shillings and
pence.

Warning- the first one will probably be pretty sloppy.
Also, the new album "Uh-Oh" will come out March 6.

LSD used to stand for Pounds, Shillings and Pence. In latin as far as I
remember. And no, I have no idea how many of each there were in a pound.
LSD was actually synthesised in 1938 (sorry to be picky!) but Albert didn't
try it out till '43.

Libri, Solidi and Denarii in Latin.
12 d (pence) in 1 shilling, 20 shillings in one pound (L)...
Until the UK went decimal in 1971...

That's also why the symbol for pounds used for measuring mass is 'lb',
for Librum.

Subject: (exotica) score hunting

I'm trying to find out whether the original score and/or parts of John
Lewis's score to the film "Odds Against Tomorrow" still exist. One way to
find out the whereabouts of original materials used in recording sessions is
to ask the recording engineers who worked on the date; unfortunately, Sony's
1991 reissue of the original soundtrack (which I own) omits this
information. (It does contain a list of all the musicians in the orchestra,
at least.) Does anybody out there have the LP version of the OST, and if so,
does it have any useful information about the recording place, date, and
staff? Any other insights on/experiences of tracking down film scores would
be appreciated, too.

Thanks

Phil

Subject: (exotica) The mysterious Exotica files from waaay back...

These may be as simple as Yma Sumac and or Les Baxter (paging Lounge
Laura), but if you look at ftp://ftp.mindspring.com/users/hagar/incoming/
there are two mp3s there.  One is the complete song, the other is about 17
seconds long due to the fact that I didn't have enough time to upload the
rest of the file.

When I downloaded them myself, it renamed them to *.au files, but it played
through Windows Media Player fine.  If I changed the extension to mp3 it
played through WinAmp fine as well.  Thanks in advance to any and all who
know the name, artist and/or album on these tracks.  This will solve a
sixteen year-old mystery for me.

Standard apologia:  Old tape, low fidelity, some hiss.  Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Terry Jacks is better served in earlier groups such as the Gypsy Trips

Have we talked about Rod McKuen's "Beatsville" lately on the list?

After seeing the cover in the Research books I always wondered what it
sounded like. Was expecting a jazz beatnick lp....sort of over-the-top Ken
Nordine with bass and bongos but it turned out to be too mello and
introspective for my taste.

Domenic
Give me Jazz beatnik and bongos!

I'm not sure if you caught it but those of you awaiting some mention of
West Coast Jazz got it last night.  Nat Hentoff mentioned it and then
dismissed it with two words "pretty bland".

His album 'Zounds! What sounds' will be reissued on CD by Basta Audio
Visuals later this year. See http://www.bastamusic.com
You can also hear his music in a couple of Tom & Jerry cartoons from the
sixties.

Anyone who has watched Dr. Seuss cartoon specials has grown up with
Elliott's music!  I don't know of any soundtracks in print, but there's
always the videos.  His album, "Zounds! What Sounds" is a wonderful, wild
affair, but I saw a price of 40 dollars on a copy.  Hasn't this been booted
or re-released?

I have Zounds!, but it's mono.  I'm glad to have it, Stereo or Mono.

Well, I was able to look past this, along with the requisite 10 minutes
of fawning over Louis Armstrong (Tonight: Louis singlehandedly decodes
the Human Genome!) seeing as some relatively favorable coverage of
Ornette Coleman was forthcoming. I was particularly happy that they
clearly expounded on the link between the Free Jazz movement and the
Abstract Impressionists. They also managed to keep their Drugs Are Bad
For Jazz Musicians lecture fairly short in this episode.

But then there was that long, lingering, worshipful shot of Wynton
Marsalis at the end of their piece on Art Blakey...almost made me drop
my nickel bag of heroin.

West Coast jazz was mentioned in greater detail in a episode last week. This
was in the segment where they were focusing on Dave Brubeck and the recording
of his 'Take Five' lp.   I recall someone mentioning that because of the mild
climate and the presence of the Pacific ocean, west coast jazz had a much more
laid back and mellow sound than what was happening on the East Coast.  This
episode probably spent 10 minutes max on Brubeck and west coast jazz combined.
I didn't feel they were deriding it at all - until I heard Hentoff's comment in
the next episode.

Well, while I have taped all of it, I have only seen parts of the first and
all of the last episode.  HE LEFT OUT THE FORTIES...oh, wait, I'll watch
the others, too.

I think that one of the things that most EVERY Jazz documentary, book,
genome inscription (Thanks, Mr. Armstrong!) fails at is Fusion.  Yes,
Burns' documentary mentions it, but quickly drops it.  Now, I don't care
for much of it, but I'll be doggoned if I didn't work all da.., I mean, if
it doesn't sell.  When I worked at Tower, I could move all sorts of George
Howard, David Sanborn and Najee, but with some exceptions (Dexter Gordon,
because of the "'Round Midnight" film), the straight ahead stuff
languished.  So, the larger audience has moved toward it, but the scholars
by and large pass it by.  While they mentioned Fusion, they didn't mention
Hancock's "Headhunters", the Mahavishnu Orchestra or Weather Report (as far
as I can see).  Kofsky's book Black Nationalism and the Revolution in Music
does make mention of the fact that the African-American audience tends to
move in the direction it perceives as forward and doesn't look back and
Fusion is "forward".  Tom Lehrer perhaps said it best about what gets
studied and what is bought when he said that folk songs are usually of bad
quality because they are written by "the people".

Oddly enough, the CD does include Weather Report.  Oh well.


Whatever the case may be, I am still glad someone tried to do this
series.  I am still one to go for the less well-known (I dig Herbie Nichols
and Mary Lou Williams), but that's me.

And for the fawning over Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong, perhaps they
felt it couldn't be said enough.  It's overkill for us, but for others,
it's "Hey, maybe we should look at these people".  In a world where
Armstrong and Ellington didn't receive Pulitzers and should have and Wynton
Marsalis did (more power to him, but that is more of a reflection of racism
relaxing in the nominating committee than relative worth), etc., etc.

It really clears your throat when you say, "Etc! Etc!",
