Subject: Knitting Factory/Albright Incident
That fairly recent incident at the Knitting Factory where Zorn told
Secretary of State Madeline Albright's party to "Shut the f*&$ up and
listen to the music" got a spot in the latest Rolling Stone magazine's
Random Notes section (Issue 764, July 10-24, 1997, page 23). Evidently
Albright's party included not only Czech president Vaclav Havel, but
Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson.

i had the great fortune this weekend to come upon a copy of the zorn radio
hour cd at a stoop sale (brooklyn's equivalent of the suburban yard sale)
- -- and for only $4 too (what's the going collectors price on it anyway?)
it's a great show with zorn talking about influences and playing tracks by
many of them (blood ulmer, parliament, napalm death, beach boys, etc.,
etc.) and it also includes the version of "the good, the bad, and the ugly"
he did for an asian cigarette commercial which was never used.
i'd love to trade a tape of the show for some live naked city. if anyone's
interested, let me know.

Here's some news I picked up off Birdland's new release page
(www.magna.com.au/~birdland/index.html) you might be interested in:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TZADIK new release cds - in stock around July 15th .
John Zorn Duras : Duchamp Tz 7023
Mark Feldman,Cenovia cummins, Erik Friedlander, Anthony Coleman, John
Medesky, Christian Bard, Jom Pugliese.
DURAS - Premier livre, deuxieme livre, triseme livre, epilogue.
ETANT Donnes - 69 paroxyms for Marchel Duchamp
Duras is a major new composition inspired by the writings of Marguerite
Duras and the mystical music of Olivier Messiaen. Seductive, elusive,
ritualistic Duras is a hypnontic work of startling clarity and
complexity.
"Etant Donnes" is the perfect companion piece to Duras : a provocative
noise trio inspired by the enigmatic last masterpiece of Marcel Duchamp,
one of France's greatest conceptualists.
John Zorn Filmworks 1986 - 1990 Tz 7314
This original installment in the Filmworks Series presents three scores
ranging from punk- rockabilly
( featuring the nasty guitars of Bob Quine, Marc Ribot and Arto Lindsay
) ; a jazzy Bernard Herrmann fantasy ; to a quirky
classical/improv/world music amalgam for Raul Ruiz's bizarre film "The
Golden Boat". Zorn's infamous one minute arrangement of Morricone's
classic " The good, the bad and the ugly ", is included as a bonus
track. Out of print for several years these classic recordings are made
available here with the original cover art intact.
John Zorn Filmworks VII Tz 7315
Cynical Hysterie Hour
The holy grail of Zornothologists is finally available in a newly
remastered definitive edition. Released in Japan for only a few short
months in 1990, this is the original music Zorn created for a series of
four shorts by one of Japan's most endearing cartoonists : Kiriko Kubo.
A long time champion of Warner Bros. cartoon composer Carl Stalling Zorn
considers this to be his finest and most personal take on cartoon music
to date, a genre that has influenced him deeply.
The all-star band includes Bill Frisell *, Marc Ribot, Arto Lindsay,
Robert quine, Wayne Horvitz, Bobby Previte and Cyro Baptista.
* Check out Bill's 2 latest cds "Nashville" and "Quartet" - both are
exceptional .
David Slusser Delight at the end of TZ 7024
the tunnel
Composer , performer, one of the foremost sound esingers on the West
coast, the mad genius of David Slusser has enhanced the films of David
Lynch, George Lucas , Francis Ford Coppola and the music of John Zorn,
Mike Patton and Angelo Badalamenti.
Drawing inspiratin from sources as diverse as 1950's mood
music,industrail deomos, early musique concrete and beer commercials,
Slusser takes us on an exotic trip through his insane sound world via
sound efects, thremins and other rare electronic instruments that have
bee or should have been long forgotten.
Yasunao Tone Solo for wounded Tz 7212
A founding member of the Fluxus Movement with Takehisa Kosugi, Yoko Ono
and George Maciunas, Yasunao Tone has been doing experimental sound
pieces since the early 1960's. For the past ten years much of his work
has centered on extending the possibilities of Cds as a performance
medium.
With this new cd , Tone has created a new noise music for the 21st
century : a symphony of digital errors that reaches a new extreme in
intensity and musicla energy.
Nana Vasconcelos Fragments : Modern Tz 7506
tradition
The world's foremost Brazilian percussionist, Nana's stunnig virtuosity
is matched only by the originality of his compositional vision. The
music here ranges from his trademark solo music to ensemble pieces
featuring some of his favorite collaborators, among them Cyro Baptista
and Egberto Gismonti, including a lovely piece for string orchestra.
Nana's seductive voice and percussion is on the forefront throughout
weaving in and out of this delightful collection of award-winning film
scores.

From what I understand, _The Parachute Years_ is gonna be a reissue of 3
double vinyl LPs, and it was gonna be on 3 CDs (which would mean some of
the material was going to be left off for timing constraints). I'd think
it would fit comfortably on 4 CDs, unless the 6 CDs are going to
correspond to the slabs of vinyl. Does anyone know if that's going to be
the case or if there's going to be extra material (and the box it's going
to come in is not gonna be a regular size box either, I guess)?
Just wondering (and hoping I'm not gonna have to pay out the butt for 6
CDs)...

Zorn plays with the Ken Butler Trio on the second day of the Tzadik Fest at
the Knitting Factory on July 26. Ken is a New York musical instrument
creator and musician... anyone who's visited the Knitting Factory has seen
his incredible looking creations hanging in the Front Bar and may not have
know they were all playable.
The next Masada run here will be September 25-27.
And of course he's always filling in the random holes in our schedule...

Well, I wasn't there but I would be willing to venture a guess that it was
Miya Masaoka. An incredible musician from out in the SF Bay Area. This
sort of cues into a forthcoming Tzadik release I'm mucho excited about:
Ben Goldberg - 'Twelve Minor'
Ben Goldberg - clarinets; Miya Masaoka - koto; India Cooke - violin;
Rob Sudduth - tenor sax; Trevor Dunn - bass; Kenny Wollesen - drums.
I've heard it roughly explained as "a New Klezmer Trio concept expanded
for sextet." Anyone heard any more about this one? Sounds like a
blast (admittedly, the koto might seem an odd instrument to inject into
a klezmer record, but I've been listening a lot to some early, pre-klez
Jewish instrumental music lately and after hearing their use of the
dulcimer I can definetly hear it working...).

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything,
but they're not exactly relevant to the
charter of the zorn-list, so that's probably
why Critters Buggin haven't been discussed.

That's strange you say that Mike, because I am ready to bet that Skerik is
the closest sax player to Zorn. In fact, with Sadhappy (the group he played
in before), I could swear it was Zorn. Also Sadhappy had Bill Frisell as
a guest. Skerik has played a lot with Wayne Horvitz and Eyvind Kang. And
to tell you the truth, Critter Buggin's music is as much at its place
on this list that any other "rock" projects from Avant/DIW/Tzadik. In
fact, I see only one reason why not talking about him/them on the list:
they have no record yet on Tzadik or Avant :-).
Where you saying that because you had some bad experience with them?
Patrice.
PS: I forgot, Skerik plays on the amazing Mark Eitzel solo (and there
is also some connection there :-).

Hmmm, I didn't know that. Even though it's a

Douglas, Cuong Vu, Anthony Coleman, Mark Dresser, Chris Speed, et al.
Also, Sean Lennon "begins each show with a short set of new songs."
Well, does anyone have any info on the Douglas release, which is
"extended piece of eight electro-acoustic" improvisations, and why

The sax player is Skerik, a very exciting young musician from Seattle.
He used to play in the band Sadhappy up to 1995, I believe (there are at
least three CDs of the band with him). After that, he joined (founded?)
Critters Buggin, which is a rock band with an interesting experimental edge.
Being in Seattle, he has played a lot with Wayne Horvitz, Eyvind Kang and
also Bill Frisell.
There was even at one time a Previte/Horvitz/Skerik noisy trio that
unfortunately never got recorded.
Recently, he got some more visible job by joining Tuatara, the all-star
band with Peter Buck (REM) and members of Screaming Trees, Young Fresh
Fellows, and Luna.
You can also hear him on the last (and wonderful) Mark Eitzel record.
There is a good compilation from Seattle with Skerik all over:

Well, Sanctuary is a very interesting project, I've heard one performance
of the group, with the same instrumentation as should be at this upcoming
gig. It's a really intense mix of free improv from some (or all) players
while other might or might not be setting up somewhat defined
backgrounds. For instance, I can recall one portion with both trumpets
wailing and bouncing off each other, while the sampler(s) and drums layed
down this hiphop groove. With everyone else fitting in somewhere also.
Of course, it segued out of that reasonably quickly, but I'll say that the
accompanyment for that portion seemed reasonably arranged. I've read an
interview <members.aol.com/jazzzine> where he mentions that it's in the
spirit of 'Free Jazz' and 'Ascension', I can definetly see the connection.
Sorry I'm not yielding any more information, I'm finding this a very odd
thing to put into words. I can also say that it's two long pieces, I
imagine he'll perform one per set (and one per CD). I've only heard one
of them (from last years 'What Is Jazz?' fest). So there's that. Hope
this is somewhat useful to you. Later on all...

Greetings,
I'm relatively new to the list, but already have learned quite a bit
about Zorn-related projects from your various posts. The Shreik info was
interesting and I have another similar question. I am reviewing the new
Primus cd for the weekly alternative paper that I work for. Their new
drummer is Brain, who believe played on at least on Praxis album (more
than one?). Does anyone have other cd's he has played on, especially
Zorn stuff? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I also didnt catch the name of the didjeridu(sp) player.
I really liked the Zorn/ Chris Speed duo, and the one with Ikue Mori, Anthony
Coleman and Chris Speed. If you werent there, the other players were Mark
Dresser, Kato Hideki, Cyro Baptista, and the koto and didjeridu player.

Brain plays on :
Praxis - _Transmutation_
Praxis - _Metatron_
Limbomaniacs - _Stinky Grooves_
Various Artists - _A.P.C. Tracks Volume 2_
all of which are produced by Bill Laswell and none of which feature John
Zorn. There might be more, but I'd have to think about it for awhiles.

Subject: Bill Frisell in boston
Greetings to all:
For general info, Bill frisell played in Boston at a small (approx150+) club
called Johnny D's on Monday July 7. I was really excited for the gig and it
was great. This show featured Frisell's Quartet lineup from last year's
nonesuch recording (Curtis Fowlkes, Eyvind Kang, Ron Miles). Many tunes
from this recording were prominent (Tales from the far side, Stand Up, Sit
Down), and a stunningly beautiful rendition of the cd's 6th track Egg radio.
Ron Miles' subtle trumpet melody interweaving with Frisell's solid, yet
spaced out chords always gets to me on that piece.
Kang's rhythmic violin parts were incredible. He used two bows, one
when he seemed to be accentuating and playing melodies, and one to just go
nuts with (this one was really shredded with hair strings flying out
everywhere).
The quartet played 2 sets, each about an hour. Frisell graciously
introduced everyone in the band, and from that point on, there was almost
nothing but music. Towards the end of the second set, Frisell reintroduced
the band and joked with the audience. After the first encore, for example,
Ron Miles walked throught the crowd to go to the bathroom, as the crowd gave
the quartet vast applause warranting the second encore. When Miles
returned, Fowlkes and Frisell were chuckling, and Frisell explained to the
crowd that Curtis was a harsh man, telling him something to the extent of
"Fuck it, we're the Bill Frisell trio now!!!"
Anyway, thought the group might be interested.

Thanks for the information on the Frisell program. This should remind
us all that jazz is meant to be heard live. Recently, here in
Philadelphia, I've had a chance to hear Ralph Peterson's Fo'Tet play
Monk and Don Byron's Bug Music. In each case the live experience added
much needed spirit to the music. Byron's personality was infectious, and
his short introduction to each tune was a pleasure to hear. Peterson's
energy as a drummer must be experienced LIVE. BTW, Marc Ribot's
terrific new Los Cubanos Postitos, featuring Marc, Brad Jones bass, EJ
and Bobby Rodriguez percussion played here...full of Cuban fire!

Well, at least I only missed spotting Brain on one CD that I actually own.
The track he plays on from the Axiom Funk album is originaly from the
first Praxis CD. Also, since he plays as part of Praxis on the live track
from _Valis II_ I would not be at all suprised is he is also the drummer
on the live Praxis album which has yet to reach US shores.
Thanks for the list,

Good eyes! Indeed, Brain plays on both _Songs Of Love And Hate_ as well
as the brand new remix album _Love And Hate In Dub_ all of which makes me
feel like a bit of a fool since _Love And HAte In Dub_ has been kicking my
ass for the last few weeks. Some truly awesome remixes that I like much
better then the album from which they came.

He is the drummer on the live Praxis CD. He is now spending most of his
time with Primus.

Subject: Brad Shoeppach and the Commuters
I saw guitarist Brad Shepik (he spells his name phonetically now it seems..)
and his band last night at the Gershwin Hotel, on E. 27th St in manhattan.
The band features Skuli Sverrisson on bass, Mike Sarin on drums, Peter
Epstien on sax, and a dumbek/ percussionist whos name I forget. It was a
nice night, so they decided to play on the roof of the hotel. There were
only about ten people there to see them, and a few hotel guests who wandered
up. Anyways, I thought this band was great, and would recommend checking
them out. In the late set, Brad played an electric six string saz, an
instrument I believe of Turkish origin. Alot of their stuff had a Middle
Eastern/ Baltic flavor to it. They will be there every Thursday this month.
I think most people may know Brad from Dave Douglas' Tiny Bell trio, and he
is definitely worth checking out.

I've only heard a few live recordings of Critters Buggin' and I thought they
were great! They had members of Wayne Horvitz' Pigpen sitting in. What
exactly is the charter for this list??
I think they are more closely linked, by sound and by personnel, to Zorn than
Soundgarden, for sure.
They have also played the Knitting Factory, so there's your "downtown NYC"

The liner notes by Zorn say he has unsuccessfully tried to buy the rights
to the long out of print CBS / Sony CD but they refuse to sell them to him
at any price.
