The recordings of the January 17th gig at the Knitting Factory are
apparently going to be released on Previte's new label! I got this from
Elliott Sharp's Official Homepage at
http://www.algonet.se/~repple/esharp/es.html.
"The Zorn-Horvitz-Sharp-Previte upcoming CD will be named "QUARTET". It
is planned to be released in April on the "Depth Of Field" label."
I'll be waiting!

Subject: zorn and berne play...
sax players care:
zorn uses an early mark vi selmer alto. sounds like a dukoff mouthpiece
to me but i'm only guessing.
also, same question for tim berne: what's his mouthpiece? also a mark vi
alto, i don't know about his bari, and i'll guess at vandoren
mouthpieces. anybody really know this info?
thanks

"The Legend of Blind Joe Death" CD reissue features two versions
of Fahey's first, self-released album "Blind Joe Death." The first
recording of BJD was made in '59, but Fahey rerecorded part of it
in '63 and all but one tune in '67. The '63 and '67 versions are
the ones on the CD; the liner notes by Glenn Jones (of Cul de Sac)
conflict with the session notes on the back of the case, so it's
hard to tell which recordings came from which year.
"The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death" is a completely different
album from 1965, and was also reissued on CD recently. I'm not sure
which album is being referred to as the one on which he started using
tapes, but Vanguard has reissued "Requia" on CD and the long suite
"Requiem for Molly" features a lot of tape work. I enjoy it greatly.
It sounds a bit like Gastr del Sol, I think.

I think that Revenant is putting out the initial recording of this (the 1959
one) out on CD in the near future.

This wasn't my understanding originally. They actually recorded in the
studio a few days earlier. The Knit date was mainly set up to make back
enough money to defray the cost of Wayne's plane ticket. But it's possible
that they also plan to include the live material on the disc, whenever it
happens.
I still don't recall hearing any reports of what that show was like,
however. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Postponed due to licensing by Sony for issue on Columbia in September or October.
The spelling of Kenny Wollesen's name upholds a longstanding Knit tradition of
failure to proofread.

have you checked the details on Braxton's own Tri-Centric Foundation
home page? lotsa great details, dozens of essays written by Mr Braxton,
liner notes, etc. go to:
www.wesleyan.edu/music/braxton
Pardon if this is a question redundant to this list, but what does
everybody think about A.B.'s work? I finally bought my own copy of
FORCES IN MOTION the other day (a British first edition, no less! I
suppose I am at last a fetishist!) What I mean is: does anyone have some
record faves or great live experiences? And has ANYONE read the
Tri-Centric Writings or Composition Notes (I imagine there are more
people reading FINNEGANS WAKE; the WRITINGS are just about as difficult,
from what I've heard). He's about as prolific as Our Patron Saint
"Anger", if a little less ready or capable to distribute his
collaborators' work. For those who don't know, there will apparently be
two huge Ghost Trance box sets (10 cds and 12 cds, Knit and Oakland,
respectively) coming out soon (?). I am a huge fan of the
"Drespellingway" quartet, but the ghost trance quartet CD on Brax's
label kind of bored me. Maybe I didn't listen hard enuff? Any opinions
on the other Ghost Trance stuff?
A related tidbit: for those who don't know (but most probably do),
Brax's FOR ALTO solo record was what inspired Mr Zorn to take up the
saxophone (I used to have an interview in which Zorn says that record
"took my head off"---in some ways it might to Zorn as what Hemphill's
DOGON A.D. was to Tim Berne.) Well, Brax saw Zorn playing at a festival
with the Sonny Clark Memorial group and approached him at one point,
saying something like, "Well, you really CAN play the saxophone after
all." (This was according to Zorn in another damn interview I can't
find.) Of course, both gentlemen do things on the small horn that simply
wasn't done (and documented) before, but I still have problems with
Zorn's consistent repetition of his own cliches when he plays "straight"
(in TIME, that is; case in point: Masada). True, most of the greats have
done this. I would just point out that in some ways someone like Joe
Lovano or even---ideologuery (sp?) aside--Wynton Marsalis is a more
consistently, if less persistently, inventive improvisor. For all their
adherence to the confines of traditional harmony and roles (rhythm plus
soloists), these select few JAZZ musicians play more spontaneously more
often. What Zorn, to take one example prominent among others, has on the
above guys is a really STRONG sense of concept, of framework. The ideas
and sounds (with the exception of the horrible noise and stupid dada
jokes that waste my money---and I do NOT mean Naked City so relax)are
almost always NEW, dammit. It's NEVER just "more jazz" (to quote Eno).
But this profusion of invention and re-invention should not be, IMHO,
confused with SUBSTANCE, which is why Trane was SO FUCKING GREAT. You
can listen to anything, almost, from SOULTRANE to STELLAR REGIONS and
he's putting SO MUCH THOUGHT into not just the concepts (sound, space,
and time), but in the placement of ACTUAL notes within and around those
sounds. In other words, he's gradually creating a new language while
realizing that we don't speak his new language yet, so he transalates to
us for years, acclimatizing us to the (his) new way of speaking,
of--yes--COMMUNICATING. Nothing New Age (newage) about this. Now that
I've written this, it looks stupid: but please try to understand what
I'm saying here...this is why I don't get paid to write about music.
It's hard to do well, baby!
Hope this is not too much of a digression.
P.S.(=piss) Thanks to everyone for Heino/Fushitsusha info. I'm broke
but excited!
P.P.S. I really am sorry about the length. You won't hear from me again
for a month, promise.
KSH

The Pain Killer reissue EXECUTION GROUND is listed as available on the Verge

What is strange is that it is a 3xCD, and not a 4xCD. It does not seem that
the first two Pain Killer are on the set...
Did Tzakik change their mind or is Verge just using an old description of

Subject: vandermark&the chicago scene
Okay, okay, I'm REALLY sorry to be liar, but I'd thought I'd ask once
real freakin kwik if anyone here has listened to some of the new "jazz"
etc. coming out of Chicago? I find much of it is easily as fertile as
the Downtown thing and very different! The relevance to this list is
that the saxophonist Ken Vandermark, who is a beautiful raging monster
of a musician, will be on the new Joe Morris album on Knitfac. Also,
Chicago cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, who played with God Is My Co-Pilot,
is on the first SElfhaters record. And if you haven't heard Mars
Williams or the NRG Ensemble you need to bad. Sorry if this seems like a
dumb plug but these guys rock my mind and their music is a great way to
bridge the gap from punk/hardcore/etc to more "straight-up" hardcore
free-improv.
Thanks all for patience,
Love, KSH

i posted this last week to another list i'm on...
<the new dkv trio (hamid drake - drums, kent kessler - bass, and ken
vandermark - reeds) okka disc called _baraka_ is 70 minutes of tenor-based
energy sound sprawl. and i do mean sprawl. the title track alone is over
30 minutes long and spans from art ensemble of chicago-like sparseness to
full-on tenor grunt and howl. none of these songs have heads per se, but
there is a strong feel for dynamics and a certain economy and precision to
their playing that i find really attractive.>
i saw ken vandermark playing with the aaly trio led by swedish
multi-reedist mats gustafsson (sp?) in early january and i was really
blown away by both saxophonists. evidently this group has a record in
the can for silkheart in addition to several discs by mats and ken on
john corbett's (_extended play_) chicago-run okka disc label. everything
i've heard on okka has been great and they generally have cool artwork
and alternative packaging. corbett's also released cds by evan parker,
peter brotzmann and anthony braxton
