Wow, what the heck is up with my e-mail server? I just received the digest

Subject: Bill Dixon
I'm finishing my first listen to the newly released double CD of Dixon solo
pieces, Collection (Cadence Jazz Records). it's a budget package in every
way, minimal packaging, an obvious transfer from vinyl, complete with
numerous pops and clicks, and a single CD price for two CDs, although the CDs
total about 80 minutes. but a lot of the music contained inside is really
superb. there are some beautifully lyrical pieces, and there are also some
ones where it sounds like he's somehow getting electronic feedback from his
trumpet, although the minimal info included would lead you to believe that
it's just solo acoustic trumpet (there are a couple of tracks with additional
musicians, to prevent someone from a nitpicking response, but it's almost all
solo Bill).
I'd also like to recommend once again Vade Mecum II, and after that Vade
Mecum (both Soul Note). two long CDs recorded at the same sessions in 1993,
with a quartet of Dixon, Barry Guy, William Parker, and Tony Oxley. gorgeous
chamber jazz, roughly in the tradition of Giuffre/Swallow/Bley, and both in
my short list for essential improv records of the nineties.
there are supposed to be two duo CDs of Dixon and Oxley en route soon from
Soul Note, but I haven't heard an update in a while. anyone know specifics on
these? needless to say, I'm eagerly awaiting their arrival. also, has anyone
heard Dixon's Intents and Purposes, from the late sixties? is it a lost
essential classic, or just a good record?

Subject: Greg Cohen again & again
The guy's following me.
The other day, I posted a query asking if Gregory Cohen on the latest Randy
Newman CD was THE Greg Cohen, which I was informed, "yes."
Then that same day I finally filled an old Tom Waits gap in my collection,
and there he was again.
And that same day I received a review copy of the new (mandolinist) Butch
Baldassari/John Carlini (guitarist) CD, "Reflections" (which I like very much
on first hearing--both of these guys are terrific players. Label is sound
art, www.soundartrecordings.com). I just put that CD on now, and there is
Greg Cohen again.
This is almost creepy.

I think it┤s more than only a good record. There is a solo piece in two
parts in Dixon┤s typical warm tone, a quintet piece with Byard Lancaster,
Jimmy Garrison a.o. which is very inspired silent improv and a tentet piece
free and loud. The only matter is: I think it┤s hard to find and the
duration time is less than 30 minutes...

Jeni et al,
I saw the first set of Masada but not the midnight jam. This was the
first time I saw Masada live. I was not disappointed in the least.
I could watch Joey Baron all night long. He always looks like he's
having a great time playing. He laughed and smiled throughout the
set. There was one tune (I don't know the title) which is basically
a drum solo and it received quite a lot of response from the
audience. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I ended up selling
the tix for the second set because I realized I didn't want to pay 40
dollars for two sets of music. Still, I really enjoyed the show and
am looking forward to watching Joey play any time!

Subject: Masada
here you are jeni
The first set of Masada was amazing! The first band [forget their name]
went over about 1/2 hour so everything else was backed up. Once in, it was
packed as usual with laughing and smiling folks. Tonic put up some new
lights for the stage so it looked real professional with that same intimate
tonic feel. Folks were set down in front of the seats crosslegged looking
up at the players, with joey's bass drum in their faces. The guys set up
fast and played a tune I didnt recognize, it was a tight fast head with
improv blowing and structure changes after, zorn was waving hand signals to
the rhythm section, dave didnt need any instruction from zorn he just knew
it seemed. The format was a bit different this time around, dave and zorn
didnt do the chasing solo bit, they all really set back and played solos,
but what great solos they were. As usual I am so in awe of the architecture
of DD's solos, where the hell does he get this stuff, I know nothing about
music theory but these solos he was blowing were so dynamic and thought
provoking and LYRICAL!! joey was laughing and smiling all the time, they
all were particularly more exuberant, I think because they might not have
played in a while. Everyone was patting each other on the back, many of the
other shows seemed to be more serious and intense, this one had the
intensity but it was coupled with an infectious giddy energy. JZ took a
solo that was back perfectly by greg, he was in his outs and greg used few
of those notes to further the out, it really sounded perfect they had a
great conversation there. The first solo zorn took I was not impressed
with. Excuse me for not mentioning names of songs, there is no way I could
track down what song is what tho I recognized over half of them to be
greatest hits [meaning ones I have heard them play live many times before]
There was one solo that zorn took that was mind blowing. The structure of
the solo was joey playing a tom laden rolling rhythm building the tension
and broke it after a successful development by zorn and lay into a swing
that was so hard, got everyone, and myself included, swaying in the crowd,
zorn took it and really pushed it into a trancendant solo. As he was
walking to the other side of the stage he swaggered a bit, never really
seen that before, and unstrapped his horn and squatted on his hams to
listen to DD blow his ass off. Using the same structure joey built up the
tension and broke it, everyone was laughing because dave was playing
something so incredible, again after he had just blown everyone away in
that last tune.
What a band.
I was disappointing that dave and zorn didnt try to follow eachother, I
wonder if they need time playing together to get back in eachother's solos.
Or maybe zorn has been composing a lot lately and not playing as much.

I just came from Other Music, where they have this in stock for 13 bucks.
also Derek Bailey is playing Roulette November 26, 27 and 28, with the
respective lineups being (bear with me, I'm doing this from memory) Zorn,
Ikue Mori and Jim Staley on the 26th, Susie Ibarra on the 27th (to celebrate
their upcoming Incus CD), and w/drum and bass on the 28th, no more details

Subject: Isotope 217
I saw Isotope 217 at the Knitting Factory last night and they were
great! For those of you who don't know who they are, they are a
Chicago band. There are members of Tortoise in the band as well as
some other people. They are more improv oriented than Tortoise but
they have the same tendency to groove and employ the analog
synthesizers every now and then. They also have qualities of the
"Chicago sound," being that they are from Chicago, which isn't
usually harsh and can get mellow at times.
I highly recommend checking this group out if you get the chance.
Look here for tour info:

Subject: month o'mazzacane
so, the month of Loren Mazzacane concerts at Tonic celebrating his fiftieth
birthday kicked off last night, with Haunted House, Loren's hand-picked
quartet (disclaimer: Haunted House's only currently available CD is on my
label) and 2 Dollar Guitar, a Steve Shelley (drummer of Sonic Youth) side
project.
I had to leave midway through the 2 Dollar Guitar set, so I didn't get to see
Loren get up and play with them, but I can report on the Haunted House set,
which was pretty wild.
HH plays long, stretched out, 15 or 20 minute blues tunes, filtered through
Loren's unique aesthetic. one piece they play at almost every show, Blue
Ghost Blues, is by Lonnie Johnson, and last night, they started off with a
seriously hard-rocking version of Spoonful. Loren has a little-known affinity
for the white blues-rock of the late sixties, especially Cream, and this was
quite obvious on this piece. about twenty minutes in, unfortunately, Loren
broke a string, but while his guitar was being repaired, Suzanne Langille,
the singer in the quartet and Loren's wife, sang a couple of acapella pieces
which were quite nice. then the guitar was ready, and they went into an
extremely passionate and overwrought version of Blue Ghost Blues, with
Suzanne wringing every possible bit of emotion out of the very evocative
lyrics. very exciting stuff by one of my current favorite few bands in NYC.
they're scheduled to play Tonic five more times this month (and Loren is
doing 12 other shows there in addition), so check them out if you get a
chance. even if they play the same songs, the performances are pretty
different each time.

At least Jeff Parker (guitar, analog synth), John Herndon, and Dan
Bitney (who traded off playing drum kit and hand drums). Rob Mazurek
is on the record but I don't think it was him playing on Friday (I
could be wrong). This person played cornet and keyboards. There was
a bass player too but I don't know who it was.
