And I want to read reviews because despite my previous plans I *didn't* manage to
get there. I'd also be really interested in hearing more about Baron's new
guitar group, considering that I was relatively underwhelmed by the "Down Home"
group and never heard the "piano" trio with Medeski.

There's a song on their rarities/live album "Refusal Fossil" which is
titled something like "Prog Rock Medley" and features snippets from 20 or
so bands including King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush and Gong... Not sure
if the Crimson song is "Red" though.

And he actually made the cover! Best of all, *we* get mentioned in the

paragraph. Interesting interview I thought, lets see if Zorn dislikes this
one as well. They make mention of Zorn being pissed about the New Yorker
article.
what do you mean *we*? the zorn list members? what kind of we? who

You're far too early Ryan. Sometimes Radio-Canada records those shows and
they don't broadcast them for another year or two.
Also, if it was recorded, I wonder if that means a Victo disc of the

Subject: ruins
Ruins set at Tonic was I think the best I've seen 'em. I've been a little sour
on the new bassist of the last couple years (Hisashi Sasaki? Or are my wires
crossed?), who I thought was a poor and overdistorted replacement for Matsuda.
But this time he really came into his own, vocals more integrated, yeah, like
IOUaLive1 said, lotsa quotes (some Yes in there too, I believe), and tight
fierce playing for 41 minutes, 3 or 4 encores. Woulda liked more, but that's
just me being greedy.
I don't know if they're on tour, but they were selling a few cds (I had to ask,
they didn't announce that they had 'em), including a sampler called Japanese
Music Festival Europe Tour 1999 (although on the back it says 1997) on Tatsuya's
Magaibutsu label. Tatsuya puts out lotsa samplers, but this one is the best I've
heard -- strong, consistent 60 minutes, Tatsuya and Tsuyama Atsushi solo,
Akaten, Zubizuva-X and Ruins tracks. If they play near you and still have
copies, grab 1.

Subject: Ray Anderson's Pocket Brass Band at the Basement, Sydney
A quick review:
An amazing show featuring Anderson on trombone, Jack Walrath on trumpet,
Matt Perrine on sousaphone and Bobby Previte of course on drums. They
covered basically every style imaginable, including freejazz, New Orleans
polyphony and latin/funk. They were all fabulous, especially Previte and
Anderson, who also did one very long (and very fast) vocal solo. The great
thing was the way the solos weren't just on a bunch of choruses, they would
change the mood for each solo, sometimes even changing the feel and tempo
of the piece completely. They did a blazing version of Monk's "I Mean You"
plus a Scott Joplin rag (I think "Pineapple Rag") which prompted them to
walk through the audience, Previte following with just a snare. Apparently
there will be a cd out soon, I think called "Where Home Is".

Greetings all,
I recently started writing music reviews for a biggish music magazine called
Ink19. We cover a very diverse spectrum of music, so I thought it would be
nice to get some music related to this list reviewed.So, I am now activly
soliciting music from any labels that wish to have their music reviewed by
an independant music magazine. I'll send details and info upon request.
Cheers,

from what i remember, buckethead is supposed to be on a few tracks. i don't
know who else is on it, though. ion doesn't seem to have distribution at the
moment. you could try emailing norman for the release date, but when the last
buckethead album came out on ion, he spent a good 6 or 7 months telling
people week after week that 'it's being pressed now, it should be out in the
next week or two.'
peace,
dave

Last Saturday a friend of mine showed me a Naked City tune in the Masada
vein, caught from a German Jazz Festival in 1990, probably downloaded
from an original tv show. Music and Image were perfect.
Zorn with glasses and in his classic camouflaged trousers, blowing fast
and furious riffs with that strangled-duck-calls sound. Rest of Naked
City members were younger and amazing.
Naturally my friend had no accurate information.
A clue? next group in that video was Archie Shepp band.
What video is that?
Thanks in advance

Subject: Re: Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Jason,
I'm still about a week behind, but must chime in with the Kirk
string: I second Maurice Rickard on We Free Kings (that's MY first
Kirk, so I don't really find it conservative at all - rather it's one
of THE great albums of that era).
As an occasional sideman, Kirk is superb on Mingus' Oh Yeah, Roy
Haynes Out Of The Afternoon and Jaki Byard's The JB Experience (1968,
yeah!).
What about Domino and Kirk Live In Copenhagen?? (both great albums)
Reeds And Deeds is pretty good too.
The Inflated Tear I particularly love for the track called (I think?)
Many Blessings, where he solos with circular breathing, and you can
really hear the whoosh when, having just about run out of breath, he
boots back in with gusto.
Ditto Volunteered Slavery ... not the greatest but some very fine
stuff (eg Prayer)
Of the later albums, no-one's (yet! I'm only at #705) mentioned the
very very fine Left and Right, also on the 4Cd 32Jazz box with the
great Prepare Thyself To..
In a category of its own: Natural Black Inventions
And finally ... for verbal Kirkisms, a special award to The Old
Rugged Cross (on Blacknuss?).

I just got the confirmation that arto lindsay and dj spooky have made an

Yes I know that dj spooky worked on the albums by arto lindsay, but does
anyone know how this stuff will actually sound? I have been told that there
will be no other players on this release, so this makes me curious wich
style this is going to be. Anyone heard this thing live in the past.
By the way: I did not get any reply back concerning the two solo cds by Kim
Gordon that will feature ikue mori, yuka honda and other downtowners. Does
anybody know if this stuff is allready released??

Based on a comment here, I went back and listened to the Alchemy Omoide Hatoba
cds. I haven't liked them as well as the Birdman titles, if only because of the
sound quality. The Alchemys seem murky to me (not usually the case with
Alchemy). But I listened to them with headphones this morning while I waited for
the plumber, and they're really interesting, nice arrangements, more going on
than I had noticed before. BTW, does anyone know what "Omoide Hatoba" means?
It's been pretty quiet around here lately. What's going on?

..Just to mention that the article's well worth reading, far more in depth than
the New Yorker piece, largely because over 90% of it is in Zorn's own words.
Also kinda (anal) fun trying to read the album spines in one photo!

Hi all,
this afternoon I hope to pick up my copy of the String Quartets. I'm

Yesterday I visited my local jazzshop (one of the best specialised
shops in the Netherlands) and picked up some old Dolpy records on
vinyl: Out There, Stockholm Concert and The Quest (originally a
recording under Mal Waldron's name, long live the Dolphy
biography!!). I was looking for Booker Little albums though, but
couldn't find anything. Can someone give me recommendations,
especially regarding Little albums that feature Dolphy?
