Masada 4 is available through the usual online outlets -- cduniverse.com,
musicblvd.com, etc.. I got mine from cduniverse. But beware, they charge
just as much for 4 as for any of the others, even though it's an EP that
clocks in at under 20 minutes. And for DIW imports, that ain't cheap...

Really! A local store in my neck of the woods has many Masada discs in
stock and they charge less for Masada 4 than any of the others. About 14
bucks for Masada 4 and 20 for the others. What's the scoop elsewhere?

I went to NYC tower last night and looked at 4 for a while. It was 21$$.
That would have to be an intense 20mins for 21$.
I got my first Praxis album, Sacrifist. Pretty interesting, I am not always
in the mood for thrash jazz, although I get a huge rush listening to it on
headphones, some wild balance tweaks. Are all the albums like this one?
Thanks to all for the Masada advice, I ended up getting #9 (Tet). I
actually wanted to get #7 or #5, all they had at tower on a sunday night
was #4 and #9. I think it is a fine album, I need to give it a few more
spins to pick up on all of the inherent delights.

NEW RELEASE INFO
Material: The Road to the Western Lands (Remixes). Will probably be
released on March 10 on Triloka. Remixes by Bill Laswell, Talvin Singh, DJ
Soul Slinger, Spring Heel Jack, DJ Olive, and Material. I have a cassette
but have not listened to it. I will post after I do. This is not the
Seven Souls re-release, although I think there is a one-track overlap.
Miles Davis: Release date is March 10. Apparently, Sony UK has already
released this in Europe, although they didn't bother telling Bill.
OTHER STUFF
Well the Meta spoken word label has been resurrected. However, there is no
distribution. The first CD on it is:
Chakra: The Seven Centers. Voice by Sarita Choudry, Willem Dafoe, Sharon
Gannon, Umar Bin Hssan, David Life, and Dechen Thurman. Music by Pharoah
Sanders, Trilok Gurtu, Nicky Skopelitis, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble, Graham
Haynes, Jeff Bova, DJ Cheb i Sabbah, and Talvin Singh. I have a CD, but
have not had time to listen yet. I may be able to sell these over the
Internet; price will be $17 shipped in the US (more outside.) This is a
non-profit deal for me. If people are interested, please send mail to me
and put Chakra in the subject header.
Divination Sacrifice. This will be Bill and someone named Laraaji who
always wears orange. I don't have any other details yet, but should in the

Intanamouri is on hold right now.
Bootsy Collins recorded his next CD at Bill's Orange Studios.
There is another Pharoah Sanders coming out, possibly soon, and also a new
Third Rail album, which is recorded, mixed and mastered.

Is this different than the new Marc Johnson "The Sound Of Summer Running"
which features Frisell, Baron & Pat Metheny? If not, what is the title of
this recording with Brad Jones?
"The Sound Of Summer Running" is truly an incredible album, I can't stop
listening to it. I'd love to hear some opinions on it.
A friend and I, in anticipation of this release, were wracking our brains
trying to figure out if this was the first collaboration between Frisell &
Metheny. We figured that it is. Anybody?

Does anyone know the title of the upcoming Pharoah Sanders release? Our
computer at work has two of his albums being released March 10 (not that
they will be). One is a re-issue of _Thembi_, and the other is entitled
_Jewels of Thought_ (I think). I'm unfamiliar with the second on, but
was curious if it's also a re-release as it's on GRP. Thanks for any
info.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with this. Aside from the above
musicians, the beneficent spirit of Sun Ra shows up via Marshall Allen and
John Gilmore. John Medeski is on hand as well. It's a keeper.
As for Free Jazz vs. the Ornette box, I'd go for the box. It's possible
that the new master of Free Jazz is improved, but there's so much more of
value in the box -- the Japan-only album, Twins (which I believe is O.P.,
and contains the "First Take" of "Free Jazz"), etc. etc. And it's not like
the albums, as presented on the box set, sound BAD by any stretch of the
imagination.

P.S. -- Saw Eugene Chadbourne this past Saturday night in Memphis. What a
treat. The long, long modal banjo piece (introduced as "a tribute to one of
America's greatest bluegrass musicians, John Coltrane") got a bit wearing,
but everything else was pure genius -- the electric toaster solo, the
heavy-heavy monster sound of the bass banjo, the rice inside the hollowbody
electric, Eugene saying goodnight to the fleeing yuppies as he played (the
stage is right by the front door), and the Albert Ayler finale -- whew!

Laraaji is a percussionist who also plays electric zithers.
His music is mainly trance-music influenced by Indonesian Gamelan.
He was discovered by Brian Eno in Washington Square Park and has some
LP's on Eno's Labels:
Ambient 3: Day of Radiance (EG 1980)
Music for Films III (2 tracks with Michael Brook) (Opal/Land 04 1988)
He has also a dub/electro project with the Japanese group Audio-Active

I promoted this when I was at my old job about a year ago. I thought it
was interesting, particularly where they quoted from "the Rite of
Spring". Apparently they went into the studio to do some improvising and
had it piped through their headphones while they played. Some of the
album seemed too "rock" for me. All in all, though, not a bad album to
have.

At cduniverse, 1-8 are all $17.93 each and listed under Zorn's name; 9 is
listed under Masada's name for $17.40.
Musicblvd has 1-8 for $19.49 each, and 9 for $19.99.
But the real oddity is that both sites had something called "Soundtrack" by
Masada, Varese Records #5249, released Dec. 10, 1997.
Could anyone tell me whut the hail this dang thing is?

It must be, because it is on Varese (Sarabande, I presume). V.S. has been
re-issuing a number of Goldsmith soundtracks (among others), notably the
Planet Of The Apes soundtrack.

Just a few weeks ago I watched the film Zigrail that was part of your list.
If I remember correctly, the zorn cuts off the soundtrack were all taken
from the naked city record with the severed head on the cover. The one that
starts with some Debussy, Messiaen and then kicks in gear with naked city's
trademark furor. No original material was composed for that flick.

Same reaction in my house. The second track is gorgeous. Overall, one
of the strongest of Zorn's so-many recent releases. Basically, it's two
soundtracks, about 30 mins each. First half is Masada Chamber Music,
second is Baptista/Wolleson percussion duets (with vibes).
I'm surprised at how fast this one came out --- it was recorded in
November '97. Zorn is effusive in his praise of the musicians and
producer in the liners.
