Sorry for answering so lately but I'm on digest.
I have this record. I have to admit that It's been a long time since I
listened to it but it is good improv stuff. You can buy it if you like bo=
th
Leandre and Houle.
I remember I bought it with another record by Leandre that I listened to =
a
lot: LES DIABOLIQUES with Irene Schweizer (piano) and Maggie Nicols (Voic=
e).
It is a collection of little funny surrealistic songs.

Subject: Knitting Factory Prog fest
Heres some (forwarded)news that should make a few people happy!
Beginning Saturday, September 5th through Tuesday the 8th, New York's
Knitting Factory plays host to a summit of the rock avant-garde's past,
present and future. Pillars of experimental rock's European wing will
gather at the Knit for several exclusive, soon-to-be historic
collaborative
performances.
The festivities commence Saturday with an incendiary performance from
Brainville, teaming the legendary Daevid Allen with his fellow Soft
Machine
alum Hugh Hopper, as well as his former colleague in Gong, drummer Pip
Pyle, alongside hometown eccentric and Shimmy-Disc czar Kramer, best
known
for his work with Bongwater.
Those left standing from Saturday's blowout will gather Sunday evening
for
two intimate shows from the recently resurgent troubadour, Roy Harper.
The
highly revered songwriter of 1970's Britain (and featured guest vocalist
for Pink Floyd) will surely sell out, so devotees nation-wide best act
quickly.
Monday's very special festivities reunite old cohorts from the immortal
Henry Cow. Avant-Rock stalwarts Peter Blegvad, Chris Cutler and John
Greaves will appear in two distinct combos, Unearthed and Breadvan - the
former, joined by famed H. Cow guitarist Fred Frith, highlights
Blegvad's
spoken-word explorations, the latter showcases the instrumental
capabilities of these innovative giants (fans should also expect a visit
from Mr. Frith during this performance, as well!) Truly, the results
should
be the stuff of lore.
Tuesday the 8th, the aformentioned visionaries will be joined by several
very special guests of the experimental bent, all to celebrate the
groundbreaking work of Robert Wyatt. A fitting end to four days of
unique
forays into out-sound mania, this event promises to serve as a showcase
for
all the pioneers of rock's Outer Reaches, a State-of-the-Laboratory
address
those in the know cannot afford to miss.

I've recently compiled a discography on jazz pianist Myra Melford and am
looking for any items I've missed.
I'm especially interested in details of her Nisus tapes.
She performed on Zorn's "Cobra Live."

Subject: texaco/jazz fest
hello fellow Zorn-sters....
As this is my first post to the list, i'm not sure if the topic is
either relivant, or warrants discussion, but i sure think so. I
appologize in advance if not.... I'm a student planning to major in
music, and minor in sociology when I start college this fall. Due to my
intrest in sociology I've been getting more involved in activism,
boycotts, social awareness & other actions that I as a person & consumer
can take to right what I feel is wrong...... but i digress, the point of
this is recently I discovered several things about Texaco that I feel
warrant a boycott of their products, and sponsored events..... and one
such event is the Jazz Fest they sponsor in NY, which Zorn & his fellow
compatriots have performed at..... and I feel that as fans we should
voice to him/them any concerns about this. I also feel that Jazz, in
past & present, has -totally- been about social change, and
activism..... I realise that it is hard enough for these artists to find
platforms for which to be heard, but I think that if they knew about
Texaco's well guarded secrets that they would reconsider. They are
guilty of more than just the discrimination suit that was brought
against them recently, and for information you should visit:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/3199/texaco.html
thanx for your time, and again, i apologize if this either seems
extremist, or isn't relevant to the zorn list.... but i thought it was
worth mentioning.

Subject: filmworks revisited
A while back there was an inquiry about the filmworks set. Since that time
I picked up III used and VIII new, so I thought I'd pass along a few
comments.
Filmworks III contains four sets of material. Many will be interested in
the earliest recordings of what was to become the Masada group (with Marc
Ribot on one of the twelve tracks), and not playing Masada material, but a
more bluesy soundtrack reminiscent of Miles' Escalator to the Scaffold.
There are also a number of duets between Ribot and Zorn, which are also
excellent. But these two sets take up less than half the CD. Apart from a
draft for the Cynical Hysterie Hour (3 minutes), the bulk of the CD is cues
which Zorn put together for the advertising firm of Weiden and Kennedy.
Now there is some great playing here, but in about a half hour there are 31
tracks, some of which barely have time to introduce all the players before
they fade out. There's some really great music, but absolutely no room for
anyone to state a theme (much less stretch), and I found the overall effect
very frustrating.
Filmworks VIII is a different story. The Masada String Trio is augmented
by Ribot, Anthony Coleman on piano, and Min Xiao-Fen on pipa. Beautiful
renditions of beautiful pieces, highly recommended for Bar Kokhba fans.
The disc is supplemented by equally fine percussion duets between Cyro
Baptista and Kenny Wollesen. Unlike some of JZ's other two-work disks (I'm
thinking specifically of Duras/Duchamp), the two works on this disc blend
together very well, and I find this to be one of JZ's most listenable outings.

Subject: MY IDEA FOR ZORN'S NEXT PROJECT
behold all, i've come up with an idea. it's similar to what charlie hunter did
with natty dread, but not really. basically my idea is for zorn and friends to
cover an entire "important" musical album. the specific album would've been
much better for naked city, but i think zorn could still pull it together. the
album is maggot brain by funkadelic. imagine it! zorn covering every second of
it.
the title track could feature marc ribot or frisell or elliot sharp tearing up
the hazelness of maggot brain. or zorn himself could take that song on. or how
about buckethead? that would be perfect! here is my proposed lineup for this
album
alto saxophone, clarinet, gamecalls, arranger- zorn
guitars- frisell, sharp,ribot, buckethead
organ/piano-wayne horvitz,john medeski, uri caine
drums- joey baron, rashied ali, bobby previte
bass- kemit driscoll, bill laswell
trumpet- dave douglas
clarinet- don byron
vocals- dean bowman, kramer, arto lindsay, mikepatton, eye for wars of
armageddon,
don byron, zorn, uri caine, yuka honda
stings- mark feldman, carol emaneul, jill jaffe
percussion- cyro baptista
call me crazy. of course they could never get this lineup together. but those
of you familiar with this brilliant funkadelic album, wouldn't this be
beautiful?
please respond everyone i'd love to here whatcha think

Y'know, I was actually thinking of the following the other day, as it
would fit comfortably into a "Great Jewish Music" slot, while also
allowing a re-interpretation of a 20th century undervalued masterpiece a
la JZ's 'Grand Guignol' covers: I'd love to hear him tackle Marc
Blitzstein's 'Airborne Symphony'! A somewhat reined-in (until 'The Open
Sky'!) David Moss might make a fine narrator, while David Garland might
sing the lead on lovely songs like 'Ballad of the Bombardier'. Mmmmm.

I understand what you're driving at here, but after taking into account what
these tracks were originally intended for- I consider them absolutely
brilliant for doing what they do in such a short length of time, that is,
setting up an atmosphere for an advertisement. Maybe this is a collection
best intended for the completist Zornie. Own up, Caleb- we're just spoiled by
the good stuff...;-)
