KOICHI MAKIGAMI (Tzadik Recording Artist)
-----------------------------------------
solo voice improvisation
Makigami Koichi is leader/vocalist/cornet player for rock band
HIKASU in Japan, known for his virtuosic vocal range and
expression as well as his unique incorporation of elements of
theatre, performance, and entertainment, all of which make this
Japanese band so widely acclaimed both critically and popularly.
He is also active as voice improvisation artist and solo
performer. In addition to recordings with HIKASU, Makigami
released a solo album in 1992 of re-worked, reinterpreted old
Japanese popular songs, produced by John Zorn. Together with
this recorded work, he has conducted a series of concerts under
this project. He has two additional recordings from Zorn's
TZADIK Label (www.tzadik.com).
From 1993, Makigami has been acting as organiser and promptor
for the monthly Tokyo session of John Zorn's game piece COBRA.
Makigami has worked and collaborated with a great many artists
and musicians in a wide variety of areas and styles, such as
Yuji Takahashi, John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Otomo Yoshihide, David
Moss, Lauren Newton, Anthony Coleman, Kazutoki Umezu, Carl
Stone, Jon Rose, Guy Klucevsek, and Derek Bailey.
His Ongoing projects include his aforementioned unique avant-pop
based on old popular Japanese music, performances using
interactive computer technology, voice improvisation, and
various work as organiser and producer.
opening for Makigami is
- ------------------------------
MAC O'HARA & THE HAPPY NEW EARS: AN OPEN HORIZON
This newly formed trio features three performers: Captain Mikee
Ciul, Camino D Estado and Mac O'Hara. Their approach to
performance art / free improvisation encompass sound, movement
and various other performance media, which does not restrict
them within technical and stylistic boundaries. That is to say,
their performance here realizes the "freedom" from the very
"styles" of conventionally categorized "Free Improvisation."
Free Improvisation, when it is articulated in terms of one's
particular "style" or "technic," becomes habitually and
stylistically bound presentation of one's egocentric outcome.
Happy New Ears' intension is to be authentically free from this
trap of so-called "free improvisation," and to share a fully
open field where performance itself begins to live. They will
present 3 pieces directed by Ciul, Estado and O'Hara
respectively.
There will be a collective improvisation (Mr. Makigami with The
Happy New Ears) at the end of the evening. AGAIN, PLEASE BRING
YOUR FLASH LIGHT TO THE CONCERT! It'll be fun. See you.

Subject: mickharris
would anyone care to write a short beginner's guide to mick harris? after
painkiller, i bought a napalm death comp of harris-era material, which i got a
kick out of and haven't played more than 3 or 4 times. but i saw painkiller for
the 1st time last year and was blown away by him. i got interested and bought
lull (cold summer) and a couple ambient duet things (james plotkin, bill
laswell) as well as the murder ballads 3cd set. i like all of them, but am
starting to get nervous about buying blind. haven't heard many of the other
projects previously listed.
also, is the murder ballads design/idea a reference to something else? my cousin
says nick cave made a record with the same title and similar design. is one
robbing from the other? are they both robbing from a 3d? or has my cousin's
gourd crack'd?

Since I'm not a regular reader of Jazziz, I just wonder if anyone
remembers the readers being asked to vote in this so-called poll. When
downbeat runs its readers' poll, the number of votes cast is tabulated.
Since there are no equivalent figures, you sorta wonder if the Jazziz
hierarchy went through their ads and figured poll results that would
impress the maximum number of record companie weasels.

A hodgepodge, old recordings and new.
Julie Driscoll 1969 One-Way
I'd been looking for this, her first solo record (?) for a while,
having always loved her 'Sunset Glow' and being interested to hear its
precursor. One can decidedly hear the seeds of the intense,
bittersweet, soul-searching style she'd perfect later, though this
recording doesn't reach those heights. There's a similar supporting
cast (Dean, Evans, Charig, etc.) but here they're used in a rather
perfunctory manner, almost like a back-up horn line, nowhere near as
integral as they are on 'Sunset Glow'. Still, on a couple of pieces,
'The Choice' and 'I Nearly Forgot' you get a strong glimmer of great
things to come.
Duke Ellington/Ray Brown This One's for Blanton Pablo
I'd heard this back in the early 80's, made a note to get it and
forgot about it entirely until happily hearing it on the radio a few
weeks back. For those of us whose main memory of Ray Brown was as the
somewhat sickeningly sucking-up, smiling bassist to losers Merv
Griffin and Jack Sheldon, it always comes as a surprise (to me,
anyway) how great a bassist he is. The highlight here is the
'Fractured Suite for Piano and Bass', with DE showing where Randy
Weston and Abdullah Ibrahim came from and Brown provides some
wonderfully rich and resonant playing. The standards ain't bad either,
especially 'Pitter Panther Patter'
Morton Feldman For Philip Guston Bridge
Four hours and eight minutes of some of the most sublime music you'll
ever hear. Set for flute, piano and percussion (mostly vibes with, I
think, some occasional marimba), performed by members of the
California EAR unit, it's like a conversation of unflagging brilliance
and invention. Quiet, largely slow with rippling repeated patterns
emerging and disappearing, stretched out silences. An A+ recording,
probably the finest Feldman I've yet heard (I'd be curious to hear
reaction to other recordings of this work--I know there's one on hat
Art). Also included, in enhanced disc form, is a humorous, informative
10-minute talk by MF with pictures.
Arto Lindsay Noon Chill Bar/None
I'd gone back and forth on the Ambitious Lovers output; for every
fine, strong song, there'd be three or four overly slick throwaways.
Lindsay's bettered that ratio here, though the slickness surfaces now
and then. The best pieces are those with the least normal arrangements
('Gods Are Weak' has a horn quartet including Ehrlich and Roseman)
where Arto's unique style of delivery seems right at home.
Caetano Veloso Prenda Minha Polygram
If, like me, you prefer your Veloso straight up (solo) and get
frustrated with Brazilian issues whose packaging does its best to
obscure whether you're getting pure product or an adulturated pop
group, beware: this is a mixed bag. A live show from 9/98, CV's
accompanied by a fifteen piece group. The good news: a medley of five
songs performed solo and gloriously and, surprise, a wonderful, wacky
arrangement of 'Terra' (imo, one of the most beautiful songs ever
written) that succeeds beyond reasonable expectations. However, one
has to tolerate a good bit of more banal pop, featuring some horrid
soprano and drum playing. Worth it for the CV enthusiast to hear
possibly the greatest male voice extant (Dama Mahaleo is his main
competition, in my book), still going great guns as he nears 60.
(Various) Wire Tapper 3 Wire
A better compilation than usual, I'd just want to mention two
outstanding cuts, one by Supersilent, a Scandanavian improv-base group
and the other, an awesome track for an Indian variant of the dulcimer
by...I think his last name is Sharma (don't have it at hand) and the
disc is on, of all things, Real World.

I apologize for the errors in the Cobra post. I copied the entire thing
from a newsgroup posting. I didn't proof it so I missed the inane "New
Yawk" reference and the mispelling of both josh's name and my own: Erik
Friedlander, cello; Josh Roseman, trombone.
In any case, if you've not seen Cobra come down because it's a blast.....

I second this invite. I got a call from John Zorn today and now I'll be
playing bass at this show. Everyone has been saying this, and it's certainly
true that the best way to experience Cobra is live.
This will be a great night of music and film. Hope to see y'all there!
