Subject: New Old Braxton on hatOLOGY
The hat webpage lists, as a release in preparation, a Braxton disc
called, "Quintett [sic], Basel, 1977". Anyone have any personnel
details on this? Francesco?
Also due is the cd reissue of a fine Lacy solo record, 'Clinkers',
from 1978.

Subject: chapin/connors
For Thos. Chapin releases, I'll go with Anima as a starting point, but just so
that you know what you're starting from. The trio was fantastic, Mario Pavone is
an excellent bassist whose own recordings (one with Braxton) are worth checking
as well. Knowing the strength of the trio only adds to the greatness of my two
faves, +Brass (already mentioned) and +Strings. On both discs, the added
instrumentation is integrated very thoughtfully and plays an equal role in the
compositions. Chapin was a fascinating composer. If, however, you think you
might only get one, I'd suggest Sky Piece, what used to be his last recording
although now the Knit has a new last recording coming out (maybe Sky Piece was
the last one he'd intended for release?). The one I'm not too into, try as I
might, is the Borah Bergman duet. Any other opinions on this?
I finally picked up the Haunted House cd. I really like it, and I'm pretty sure
I was at both of the gigs where it was recorded. But the band has grown so much
in the 6ish months since those sets that I hope another recording is in the
works (Jon?). I like Suzanne, although on some of the duet discs from a few
years back she's barely noticeable. But I saw HHouse last night and they were
huge, thunderous. Neel Murgai is incredibly sensitive and attentive and really
propels the music. It's interesting to me, too, that LMC chose a second guitar
rather than a bass. I wonder why? Last night at Tonic the quartet played a long,
very fluid set, with about 30 minutes of playing before adding Warhol factory
era photos and slides by poet/filmmaker Gerald Malanga (sp?). Then Malanga
joined them and read a long poem remembering Kerouac but more just about NYC at
the time. Then the quartet did one last song. It was all so beautifully
seamless, and whether it was the guitars, slides or the poet, Murgai was right
there and always supplementing the focus. His growth in the group may be the
main thing that has pushed them forward over the last 6 mos.
Then Zubi Zuva, Yoshida solo, Akaten, Tsuyama solo, Ruins, Ruins + Tsuyama. So
much music last night.
I like Suzanne, especially in HHouse, but I haven't cared as much for her discs
with Loren's accompaniment (The Enchanted Forest and, I believe it's called Let
The Darkness Fall). But then I'm not as interested in words as notes. I get
enough words during the day.

It's more than likely out of print now that HatArt has switched to
their policy of limited-runs only. Cadence (www.cadencebuilding.com)
still lists both News For Lulu and the follow-up More News For Lulu as
being available, so you might want to try there first.

Well here on Tower thay have a couple of Filmworks, Locus Solus, and
three copies of Spy vs. Spy filed under rock/soul, and they moved them
because they had'em on the New Age section well after having them on the
jazz section. They just don't know where to put'em. And besieds a copy
of Spillane which someone bought a while ago i've noticed i'm the only
person who's bought Zorn records since they opened like a year ago. I
know because their stock is the same as it was on the beggining(taht
isn't too surprising considering this is Ecuador i'm writing from), and
they are so incredibly high priced. Same thing about Bill Frissel
records, or even Ornette's. There are a coupl of other Tzaadik records
but so few i almost didn't notice.

Hi all,
The following email was forwarded to me by filmdirector Nathalie
Beekman, who is a close friend of mine. Her film "Emergo" is featured
in the below mentioned festival. Interesting for the members of
zornlist however are the showings of three films by another promising
director from the Netherlands: Ian Kerkhof. His films feature music
by Otomo Yoshihide and Merzbow. If you have the chance to see one of
these films, don't hesitate. I haven't seen the Merzbow documentary,
but I did see Shabondama Elegy at this years Rotterdam Film Festival
and it's rather controversial.
Best wishes,
Jeroen de Boer

BAMcin=E9matek and New York Underground Film Festival Present
XENO International Film Festival - Cinema from the New Europe
XENO introduces the art of film to BAM's annual Next Wave Festival
with ten feature films and more than fifty shorts from October 22-24
and 29-31
"XENO is not your typical survey of European cinema," promises New
York Underground Film Festival Director Ed Halter. "We've curated an
exciting mix of works drawn from the pulsating rhythms of European
subcultures, the outer reaches of underground film and the adventurous
realms of the avant-garde."
XENO International Film Festival opens with the U.S. premiere of
Austria's street-stylish youth drama, Slidin' Bright and Shiny World
(1998), directed by Reinhard Jud, Michael Grimm and up-and-coming
filmmaker Barbara Albert. Another of Albert's films, a 20-minute short
entitled Sunspots (1998), will be presented on October 30 and 31. The
closing film on October 31 features the U.S. premiere of critically
acclaimed director Fred Kelemen's harrowing epic, Nightfall (1999).
Shot with an expressive blend of 35mm and video, Nightfall comes to
BAM Rose Cinemas straight from its world premiere at the Toronto Film
Festival.
Of the ten feature films presented, six were shot on digital video,
the cutting-edge format that has been embraced by innovative
filmmakers on both sides of the Atlantic. Controversial
Netherlands-based underground filmmaker Ian Kerkhof is represented
with three feature-length digital works and one world premiere via the
Internet. XENO presents the New York premieres of Kerkhof's violent
and erotic Shabondama Elegy (1999) and two confrontational
documentaries, Beyond Ultra Violence: Uneasy Listening by Merzbow
(1997) and Roxy: No Other Drugs Required (1998). Sonicfragments, a
digital, long-form music short by Kerkhof will make its world premiere
on the Internet's Ifilm network (www.ifilm.com). Other digital
features at XENO include Spain's Blablabla (1998), directed by Juan
Carlos Bonete; the Netherlands' Emergo! (1998), directed by Nathalie
Beekman; and the UK's Goldie: When Saturn Returnz (1998), directed by
John Akomfrah.

Subject: Imrov Nights in Montreal [No Zorn]
I know it's the same weekend that the Instant Composers' Pool is in New
York and Boston, but this might interest a few people.
(From the press release:)
Productions Traquen'art will be presenting three nights of improvised
music at the Biblioth=E8que nationale Du Quebec (1700, boul. St-Denis)
from November 11 to 13. Opening this event on Thursday November 11 will
be the European trio "Les Diaboliques" with Irene Schweizer (piano),
Jo=EBlle L=E9andre (bass) and Maggie Nichols (voice). Friday will be the
Vancouver quartet of "TALKING PICTURES" on Friday November 12. On
Saturday 13, this event will conclude with the stunning trio of German
pianist Georg Graewe, Dutch cellist extraordinaire Ernst Reijsiger and
leading American drummer Gerry Hemingway. This promises to be a very
special event for those who like their jazz to have a leading edge.
Following these three main concerts, there will be improvisation pools
taking place each night after the main act with most of the headliners
plus locals performers, including, amongst others, Sam Shelabi (guitar),
Alec McSween (drums), Alexandre St-Onge (bass), who will conduct these
sessions.
Tickets are $12, advance, $15 at the door on concert night, and $ 10 for
students, seniors, people on social assistance. A festival pass is also
available for all three nights, at the modest price of $25. All tickets
can be purchased at l'Oblique (4333 Rivard, corner Marie-Anne), Cheap
Thrills (2044 Metcalfe), le Rayon Laser (3656 St-Laurent), the office of
Productions Traquen'Art (372 Ste-Catherine, Suite 124), or through all
Admission Ticket counters (790-1245). Concerts start at 8:30 PM.

Subject: American Splendor
I don't recall seeing it mentioned here, so I thought I'd pass this
on. The latest issue of Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor" comic
("Terminal" from Dark Horse publishing) features a two page article
on John Zorn, drawn by Joe Sacco, talking about Zorn's relationship
to jewish music and jazz, and Harvey's insightful comments regarding
that relationship. It also includes a cameo drawing of my favorite
record store owner, Bruce Gallanter of Downtown Music Gallery. The
rest of the book deals with various jazz and blues artists (Lonnie
Johnson, Arthur Whetsoe, the Hammond B-3) and then the usual rants
and comments by Harvey.
