Hi Steven,

I believe the 2-cd Cobra on Hat Hut is still available from Cadence
(http://www.cadencebuilding.com).  Live in Jerusalem (2 cd) is due out
4/20 on Tzadik.  I don't know if there are plans for a box set.

Hope this helps,

Alan

It was at the Jerusalem Theater in Summer 95 - as pt. of the Jerusalem
Festival.   I heard that Zorn did a spontaneous appearance somewhere
else as well (though not at the Pargod).

Unfortunately, concerts here are often poorly promoted - eg. Tsahar/Ibarra
last Nov. which I missed and the David Murray shows this month that I had
to call all around town to find out about.

The best (or worst) gaffe of all was the Arto Lindsay show last year.
It was billed as Bossa Nova deal, but he showed up w/ Melvin Gibbs
and Eyvind Kang and did a set of "Skronk" guitar.  It was amusing watching
the people streaming out of the theater after each piece.

BTW, after "Live in Jerusalem" the next Masada disk will be "Live in
Taipei" (acc. to http://www.dtmgallery.com)

Yes it was 5/18/95, (at least thats one gig they played there) and it was
recorded and then broadcast on radio.

OK, you've all gone to see bands play music.  But how much of your hard
earned dough actually makes its way to the musicians bustin' their asses up
there on stage just to give you a good time/enliven your soul/enrich your
consciousness... whatever? Ever wonder?  In most cases, the answer is "not
enough!"  Club owners suck the cash you pay at the bar and get big old
sponsorships from multi-national companies.  So come to a panel discussion
this Saturday to learn about the reality our hardworking musicians are
living with, what are their strategies for change, what organizing models
work for them (in NYC's downtown scene), and how you can help!  (or if you
live out of town, fyi cause you might be interested!)

"Pay to Play?" panel re. Economic Justice for Musicians: featuring Stanley
Aronowitz, Marc Ribot, Jane Scarpantoni, Lianne Smith and Greg Tate

Subject: Secret Chiefs 3

SC3's first CD is different from their second.
It's more noise oriented, much like early negativland.  At least that's how
I remember it.
In general, I liked the second one better as it was more tune oriented.

But that's me.

If you check the European Free Improvisers page there is a listing for
Zerang and some of the work he's done. There are also a couple of
bio/discos floating around if you do a search, try starting with the WNUR
jazz list.
BTW, I think Zerang has just put out a 2-CD set of his work (with Fred
Longberg-Holm) on an even more obscure Chicago label.

Hope this helps

Check out http://www.shef.ac.uk/misc/rec/ps/efi/ehome.html, the European
Free Improvisers home page.  Should be bookmarked by everyone even remotely
interested in the subject (and yes, it includes a Mengelberg page, although
the most recent recording listed is a couple of years old).

From: "Francesco Martinelli" <[e-mail]>
Subject: fairly early bailey - review

After all this Bailey talk I think I'd contribute with a review

Derek Bailey's Fairly Early with Postscripts is a collection of odds and
ends, very much coeherent within Bailey's unstated agenda, including pieces
spanning almost twenty years, different guitar set-ups, and collaborations
with Anthony Braxton, Kent Carter, John Stevens. With this Cd both the solo
Lp In Whose Tradition (Emanem 3404) and the duo recordings with Anthony
Braxton are completely reissued on Cd (I have the feeling there's more to be
issued though). In fact now the short, funny track In Whose Tradition who
gave the title to one of the original Lps is put into context, and one can
hear Anthony Braxton's typical laugh at Bailey's strumming. The Six Fairly
Early Pieces are one track of twelwe minutes, and one hears on different
channels the acoustic guitar and the pedal controlled amplifier. The
increased separation makes for an uncanny feeling of a duo, while the pieces
are terse, concentrated improvisations on material with special attention on
attack and decay effects. Fascinating listening. The duo effect was
magnified by the addition of another pedal/loudspeaker, and In Whose
Tradition contrasts chordal acoustic strumming with highly distorted sounds,
eliciting Braxton's reactions. From the same day come two short excerpts
from the rehearsals held with the american saxophone player in preparation
for the concert: Braxton wanted to play some compositions, Bailey adamantly
refused, so an agreement was reached with "language Areas" that are quite
close to the Solo Language Classes that Braxton employed for his solos.
Bailey plays his modified guitar, and uses bowing, something he later
abandoned. He abandoned amplification as well, and the following piece is
acoustic guitar, with wonderful rhythm doubling and phrase variations - a
seven minutes demonstration track complete with psychologic/psychoacoustic
explanation of the purpose of talking while playing; two more tracks
(without talking) continue at the same level, with great clarity and
purpose. A tiny bit (fifteen seconds) of spoken word from a 1987 "cassette
letter" completes the picture.
The chronological order is subverted by what follows. In fact it comes from
The Crust, Emanem Lp 304; part of this Lp recorded in London by a Steve Lacy
aggregation in 1973 was reissued on Saxophone Special, Emanem Cd 4024. A Bit
Of The Dumps was an extract on the original Lp as well, where The Crust
(dedicated to Rex Stewart) was a ten minutes quintet piece of which here
about 2:30 are presented here, beginning at around 7:15 of the original,
with the horns "strolling". The separation between this section and what
comes before was quite clear in the Lp, and the momentum of the music is
amazing, but still this section made a different sense in contrast with the
composed or anyway more conventionally jazzistic rest of the piece, with
Bailey's guitar at the beginning to color the flow and then surging in
volume to comment Steve Potts' solo. The sound is much better then the
original though.  (The Owl is the last piece of the original Lp that is
still completely unissued on Cd).
The rest of the Cd returns to solo, with a Post in two sections, a
Postscript and a Postpostscript. The Post and Postscripts are true musical
letters recorded on cassette (the Davidsons were living in Australia then);
topics in the spoken parts intertwined with the playing include another
Emanem release (Domestic and Public Pieces), the weather, Thatcher (speaking
from the radio), the sound and furniture of the new Bailey kitchen in Downs
Road, Thatcher again (after the third reelection), the new guitar. The
Postscript is a 1998 update in the same style. Irresistible.
The cover, taken from a seventies leaflet, combines quotations by critics
with bank's letters, to dark humorous effects paralleling the music. Music,
sound and production concur to make this an outstanding release that, as
they used to say, will give you hours of pleasure.
