What are your favourites on Eyvind Kang and Zeena Parkins?
After all, I bought the Bacharach CD and didn't regret it, especially
because of their contributions. BTW, my fav on it is Medesky/Martin/Wood,
but I was already introduced to them, was I, Tom?
I don't want to cause an avalanche and beg your pardon for possible
redundance, there's so much information here, so many names, I cannot
purchase/listen to all of it... unfortunately.

Someone had asked about details for the soundtrack to the recent (and
brilliant) Peter Greenaway film The Pillowbook. I also went in search of
this cd as soon as I saw the film and finally found it at an HMV - they got
a stack of them in but even at $25 a pop they didn't last the week. Good
luck.

Yao Lee : "Rose, Rose I Love You"

The latest issue of Resonance contains an interview with Zorn, who I have
never seen interviewed in any of the Jewish publications that I read.

If you look closely at the interivew though, you will find out that it was
published several years ago. They call it "new" as it is revised (ala
re -edited) from its original content. Zorn does not take any interviews
from anywhere anymore. Has not for years.

Subject: interested in art?
This past saturday I walked to northwest Chelsea to visit some galleries.
Being an artist, and not a musician, I thought it was appropriate that I
look at some art. I usually find myself frustrated with most high art that
I see in Soho or in Chelsea, this might be the reason why I go hear music
instead of see art. Cruising through a lot of big renovated wharehouses and
sweatshops I came face to face with my old frustrations, however I did see
something that floored me. Her name is Morgan O'Hara. She is showing at
the....
Stephen Gang Gallery
529 West 20th Street
I believe up on the fourth floor.
What this woman does is filter live preformances of guys like Anthony
Braxton, Cecil Taylor, and many other Kniting Factory preformers. Most
drawing were done live at the knitting factory. She has some amazing ink
splotch looking drawings, really fun to look at. A lot of energy. Her ink
spots are like clouds, you can see a lot of different recognizable objects
in them. It is fun to look at the titles, see which ones were from the
knit.
Live Transmissions
=46orm and Content
When I went to see this show, it was the first day up. Later on in the eve
there was an opening. You see, most art openings are really boring,
everyone shmoozes, dresses fancy, drinks lots of wine, and talk about
themselves. This one was not much different. There was a live preformance
of Booker T and Elliot Levin. Booker T asked this kid at the opening, who
looked about as out of place as I did, to join in on alto sax. Booker T
walked around scaring people with his tenor, honking at groups of fancies,
herding them all this way and that. Morgan O'Hara knelt on the floor with
sheets of paper and a row of eight pencils lined up in her hands pressed
flat together like she was praying. Booker T honks and howls reverberated
off the cement walls of the gallery. It was an all out free sax jam with
Booker T doing a lot of squeals and barks, Elliot Levin on tenor adding
textural musings, and the kid my age blowing where he could. Needless to
say the place cleared out pretty quickly. The people that were left were
holding their ears watching Morgan O'hara scribble away. I liked the music
more than I liked the drawing she produced from the music. I think the
concept is great, and is really worth checking out if you are in the
chelsea area.
A review of the new and improved PS1 Contemporary Art Museum comming soon.

True enough. However, he's not entirely averse to speaking to writers on behalf
of other artists: he was quoted in the Wire in a recent piece on Cyro Baptista,
listed his favorite albums in Downbeat, and is quoted in an upcoming Jazziz
feature on Dave Douglas.

No. But I can't remember that guy's name right now. When I worked at the
Knit we had a huge painting of Joey Baron's Baron Down by that guy on the
office wall, very cool. And Tim Berne has a bunch of his stuff on his walls
at home. Hopefully the name will come to me.

Jeff Schlanger is the artist you're thinking of. For a long time, you knew it
was a "big" gig at the Knit because Jeff would be busily sketching away in the
front row. In fact, if you positioned yourself in the right seat, you could
watch him paint during the show which I always found very enjoyable. I haven't
seen him around for a while, but then again I don't go to quite as many shows
as I used to.

Subject: miscellaneous Zorn projects
I was wondering if anyone witnessed or knows anything at all about the
following seemingly random Zorn projects talked about in this excerpt
from an interview with William Winant from:
http://www.slip.net/~insulin/wilwinint.html
- -------
How long have you known the people in Mr. Bungle? How did that whole
thing start with your being involved with them?
I think I met Mike [Patton] and Trevor [Dunn] on a project we did, on
this opera that we did with John Zorn. I am not sure when it was. It might have been 1992.
Was that Elegy?
It was before Elegy. It was the Houdini-De Sade Project.
And then we did another. It was a double bill with the Grande Guignol
and then we did this new project. It was a collaboration with John Zorn
and Arto Lindsay. Arto wrote the text and John wrote the music. It was
basically Naked City with guests. He had me and Trevor and Mike come
from [San Francisco]. We all met and did this concert in this museum in
Minneapolis. That was the first time I'd met Mike and Trevor from Bungle.
It was a lot of fun. Really great concert.
- -------
someone please know more about these.
thank you
Corey

I don't suppose anyone is going to believe me if I claim that I remembered Jeff's
name immediately before reading Keith's and Jon's messages? Weird, huh? Not only
that, but I also remembered that he goes by the trade name "Music Witness." Jeff
was at the club pretty infrequently during my brief tenure, but I do know he's
still active because he came to one of the two Jackie McLean shows during the
summer festival. I really like his work but am also curious to check out the
gallery show that Jason mentioned... it IS a nice space, and there was a music
oriented exhibit on display when I visited about a month ago though it wasn't the
one Jason mentioned.

Also noted the availability of a newly re-released double record by

I was told by a friend recently that he saw somewhere that Janet
Rienstra mentioned a new deal for a spoken word label that she and

Triloka, since the Material re-release was issued on META, through them?
Also, in an absolutely great interview with Lori Carson at

she mentions doing a track for an upcoming Material album. Does anyone
know the scoop on that? Any help would be muchly appreciated.
