I've been in Chicago for the last 4 years, and I try to hit every show
that any of the 'New York' musicians play here. They are never packed,
usually not even crowded....
Not that many of Zorn's group ever come here. I don't think Zorn himself
has been here in 5 years.
The Knitting Factory did it's Loud Music Silent Film festival here a few
years back, 2 nights, and there were probably about a hundred each night.
I was one of about 15 people who went to the Jazz record mart to see Zony
Mash this summer (although it was hardly promoted at all) I didn't see
their show that night in a club (the Melvins were in town), but I doubt it
was crowded...
There is a temple in Oak Park (a suburb) that is starting to host alot of
avant g. stuff. In the last year there, I've seen Sun Ra Ark. Bill
Frisell Quartet (playing the most moving music, I almost cried) and Matt
Shipp. All these shows had about 50-60 people.... Tiny Bell Trio is
this sunday (woohoo)

I wasn't there, but according to Kato Hideki, it was Bailey, Zorn,
Kramer (piano, voice, noise), Kato Hideki (bass), Robert Dick (flutes),
Dave Douglas (trumpet, CD player), Ikue Mori (drum machines), Andy Haas
(digeridoo). Bobby Previte was supposed to play but did not.

I put this on at work last week just before our manager sauntered into
the room (a bullpen of engineers). The opening lick of the album is a
roar of Bailey and drum machine rolls, and the manager broke out
laughing, turned around and left without saying anything else. So on
the basis of manager-repellant alone, it's worth the price.
Seriously though, Bailey plays his spidery lines on electric with
pretty much the same tone throughout, no acoustic guitar here. The
beats on their own might not be exceptional, but in combination with
Bailey the album is not like anything else. It's a little short,
under forty minutes if I remember, but very high energy. Sometimes
Bailey and Ninj seem to be playing to different rhythms, but that
accounts for a great deal of the energy, and the contrast between
Bailey's free form lines and Ninj's very fast beats makes for powerful
listening.
Downtown Music Gallery (dmg@panix.com) has it listed for $20 US if
that's any cheaper.

It depends. If you're a drum'n'bass fan, DJ ninj is going to bore you .
If you like it when Derek Bailey plays the electric guitar at you, He's
going to make you happy.
It's a really interesting juxtaposition of styles, but I can't help
thinking that all of the breakbeats sound stunningly similar.
