Fritz!
Nice to hear that Balkan music is catching on on your side of the pond.
since I live in europe my answer will be coloured by this.
A really good adaptation of balkan music to pop/jazz music is a band
called "Farmers Market" with such tunes as "Speed balkan boogie" they made
quite a stir here in Scandinavia (and allso down on the balkans), They are
really good jazz musicians who adapted the Balkan way of playing music to
create a werry cool musical road for people to tread.They've got two
records out "speed Balkan boogie" and one more wich i can't remember.
"these choirs - any
recommendations?"
I have only one and thaey are fantastic!
Bulgarian State Radio and Television Female Vocal Choir:"Le Mystere des
Voix Bulgares"(Nonesuch)
"Volume 2: Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares"
great albums.
All of them.
This is what is on my mind;
I don't know what is on Otherminds...

Hi,
I wanted to let you all know that this week my online radio show, Mappings,
features composer/performers who use vinyl as a source of their music.
Go to <http://www.antennaradio.com/> & select Mappings from the program
page. Other shows of possible iterest include Electric Circus features an
all John Cage show, and Intoxication presents several interesting
clarinetists (including my copy of the new Francois Houle tribute to John
Carter on Songlines recently mentioned on the list).
Enjoy.

Is it really true? Is Impulse finally reissuing these great sessions?
I am positively rejoicing about the Cecil (Steve Smith is certainly on
target here) and about the great Sam Rivers. This guy is so completely
under-valued, and I hope all of his sessions again see the light of day so
that he can achieve some recognition in his twilight years.
One thing that you all might be interested in: Okkadisk has just released
a 3-CD box of the Octet/Tentet that Peter Brotzmann convened last year in
Chicago. In the liner notes, Corbett rightly likens this to an update of
the salvo fired 30 years ago (!) with "Machine Gun." Large
instrumentation, long forms, structure and blowing -- it's all there. The
band itself includes, aside from the bearded one, Chicago stalwarts Ken
Vandermark, Hamid Drake, Mars Williams, Michael Zerang, Kent Kessler, Fred
Lonberg-Holm, Jeb Bishop, in addition to Mats Gustafsson and Joe McPhee.
Needless to say, it's a mother.

This comes from Seth Tisue's "Chicago Now," a website and periodic email

Personally, I don't think there's much of interest here for most folks who
are on this list, but no one has yet announced after-fest events... I've
also heard, but can't confirm, that it will be Eight Bold Souls instead of
Shadow Vignettes on Saturday evening.

The label Olympic put out a bunch of international records in the 60s and
70s. I occasionally see them pop up in used stores. There were some good
balkan records including one of Macedonian bagpipes. Also, "Yugoslavian folk
music from Macedonia" and "Serbian brass Bands" are 2 good ones from that
label. There's also some kind of Yugo brass band who have a cd on Rounder,
but I haven't heard it.

I saw this about six weeks ago and ordered some immediately. So far, no
disks, no word, nothing. I'm going to try to prompt them soon, but I'm
not sure they're actually selling them at this price. I'll drop a

I bought my copy of "Gimel" through Amazon.com (for $12.99) some time in
July, and it arrived about two weeks later. Still waiting for "Alef," but I
just ordered it a few days ago.

Chris Blackwell, Island's founder, was booted out of his own company
recently. Any vestige of credibility, adventurousness, etc. left with him.
Seems either Waits subsequently left of his own volition or was shitcanned
because his records don't sell as well as U2's...

I absolutely agree with your choice of drummers, but I would like to
add Jim Black to this list. He's really incredible with the Tiny Bell
Trio and I just bought a cd by Jamie Saft/Cuong Vu (forgot the
title,but it's on Avant) with Black on drums.It's absolutley worth
checking out!

There's a bit more to the story. Polygram, which had acquired Island years
earlier, booted Chris Blackwell. Philips then sold Polygram to Seagram's,
although that deal isn't quite complete and Seagram is unhappy with some of
the recent sales figures. Prior to the sale, labels that weren't in the
top sellers at Polygram got blown away, including Quango and Axiom, to make
the whole deal more attractive. Polygram had been weeding out slow sellers
for a while in preparation for selling the company, things like New
Kingdom, a great rap duo (rap meets Captn Beefheart, worth picking up their
second album "Paradise" in the cutout bins). And for several years, the
Polygram sales organization had been incented to sell hot sellers and
ignore Blackwell's more interesting stuff.
The good news is that Blackwell, who has always been interested in
broadening the range of published music, is in business already with his
new company Palm Pictures, and seems to be obtaining the rights to stuff he
put out while at Polygram. One of his first releases is a new Baba Maal
(probably spelled that wrong) that is licensed from Island. I don't know
if he had a relationship with Waits, but maybe there is some possibility
after the one-CD deal is done.

I remember that some months ago someone found nice words for Weill

Stan Ridgeway's version of "Cannon Song" and Lou Reed's version of
"September Song". I'm familiar with the Dreigroschenoper, but that's it.
Which recordings are particularly good, especially - but not restricted to

If you want something a bit interesting, pick up the EP "The Young Gods
perform Kurt Weill". Very interesting.

One enjoyable record is Teresa Stratas' "Stratas Sings Weill",
released on Nonesuch in the mid 80's. She covers some lesser-known
Weill pieces (as well as a few "standards") in her unique style.
Willem Breuker covers a number of Weill compositions on several of his
Kollektief albums including, on "Dreibergen-Zeist", a wonderful
version of "Pirate Jenny" with new words written and sung by Dutch
actor Dick Swidde, then in his seventies.
BTW, my copy of "Dreigroschenoper" is a release on the German Eterna
label which came out, near as I can tell, in the late 60's.
Apparently, the recording is from 1931 (the notes, aside from being in
German, are obscure). Does anyone know if this is considered "the"
original recording of the piece, or just "an" original recording? My
knowledge of the recorded history of this work is nil.

Of the ones I've heard, my favorite is _Ute Lemper Sings Kurt Weill_ on
London. Ute has a great, full voice and is backed by a strong cabaret

The premier of the "Three Penny Opera" was on 31 August 1928!
I have a recording from 1930 which is pretty good.
"By the end of the 28/29 season a total of 4.200 (!!!) performances had
been given..." (booklet)
It is one of my favorite interpretation of this nice opera!
I especially like the lyrics as you might sugest that they were written
in 20th!
