Dunno about reissues.

Subject: Frisell article...
Bill Frisell Introduces His New Septet In Minneapolis
Premiere
Jazz guitarist-composer Bill Frisell has never been
one to shy away from bold moves. His recent recording
projects -- often with the likes of country bassist
Victor Krauss, rock drummer Jim Keltner, and legendary
Cream drummer Ginger Baker -- have served as a virtual
re-synthesis of American music, blending jazz, rock,
country, and blues into a singularly American sound.
Still, introducing a new ensemble and all new
compositions on the final night of his tour (most of
which was performed with his quartet) was a gutsy move
even for the jazz maverick.
That ensemble, the New Septet, along with roughly 15
new, untitled compositions saw its premiere Saturday
(Nov. 13) night at the Walker Arts Center in
Minneapolis. With the addition of horns, the new group
- -- Billy Drewes (Herbie Hancock, John Scofield) on
sax, Jazz Passengers' Curtis Fowlkes on trombone, Greg
Leisz (Joni Mitchell, Beck) on slide and pedal steel,
trumpeter Ron Miles (Ginger Baker), bassist David
Piltch (Chet Baker, K.D. Lang) and drummer Kenny
Wollesen (Tom Waits, Marc Ribot) -- allowed Frisell to
weave Dixieland, R&B, and big band sounds into his
already eclectic mix of Americana.
Taking the stage at 7 p.m. for the first of two shows,
the band launched into its first three songs with an
uneasy tentativeness. It seemed even Frisell was a bit
overwhelmed by the size of the ensemble as he looked
at them and nervously remarked: "This is wild. So many
people!" As the septet began to find its footing, much
of the premiere jitters began to fade and the ensemble
locked into a tight grove. Frisell's trademarked
ringing leads remained ever present, but the leader
tastefully chose not to overshadow his band.
Wollensen's quirky rhythms often recalled his work
with Waits as he alternately and deftly shared the
time keeping with Piltch and the horn section, and
Leisz's pedal steel beautifully painted Midwestern
landscapes across the stage. Only after giving the
other players their space, Frisell periodically
grounded the mix with 1950's style rock and roll
guitar leads.
A master of interplay, Frisell's arrangements often
blurred the lines between the individual instruments.
As the evening progressed and the horn section began
to sync with Leisz's pedal steel, the rarely mixed
instruments melded to create a unique, thick, twangy
sound equally reminiscent of New Orleans brass bands
and old time country. The odd blend gave the ensemble
a sound uniquely its own and strikingly typical of
Frisell's constant innovations. Even the evening's
lone cover, Jaki Byard's "Bird's Mother," echoed with
a fresh pop sensibility.
Responding with multiple standing ovations, the crowd
seemed aware it was privileged to witness a new
beginning. Rough edges not withstanding, Frisell had
clearly blazed even more new musical territory in his
ongoing reclamation of traditional American genres,
new territory which, embryonic as it may have been,
will no doubt be refined over his future recordings.

Recent reviews about Asphalt Buddhas (pfMENTUM CD003):
"After a few weeks of unchallenging music, it's really nice to get a disc
like Cement Buddhas [?]. It's essentially a meeting -- if not a knock-down
drag-out fight -- between various guitars (Aplanalp) and horns (Kaiser), all
heavily manipulated, with treated voices and electronic twiddling filling in
the cracks in the mortar. And it's abrasive. Archipelagos of recognizable
guitar and horn melody are connected by strings of razor-sharp, ear-flensing
noise -- perhaps overmodulated voices, perhaps overdriven electronics, but
all of it instinctively hostile to the human ear.
The pleasure here is to find order in the chaos. Kaiser and Aplanalp are
both solid musicians, and the paths their music/noise hybrids take are
neither gratuitous nor entirely random. The challenge is to halt the noise
in its tracks as it seeks to burrow into your head, and to unravel it
backwards, revealing its component parts and lurching logic, dissolving into
computational textures and insidious fingerings.
Or you can simply embrace the aggressive abnormality of the music and let
go, following it as its noisy tentacles work their way into all the cracks
and interstitial spaces that riddle the world. That's right. Just let go."
- --George Zahora, splendidezine.com, 10 January 2000
"...new sounds and everyday chatter take on new meaning. For Jeff Kaiser and
Woody Aplanalp their music resides where noises are unwanted and unwelcome,
but with contemplation ultimately satisfying. Feedback, CB radio
interceptions, scary vocals and electronic goo figure just as prominently as
traditional instrumentation."
- --Mark Corroto, allaboutjazz.com, 9 January 2000

i much appreciate hearing these lists so please keep em coming. my
music budget has shrunk to nothing so i don't get around like i used to.
one favor: could you please state the size of your cd collection, or
the estimated number of your '99 purchases, so as to indicate your
range of coverage. (i could give ten recommendations and anyone who
paid attention would be completely wasting their time. i acquired
something like 50 cds this past year.)
that being said, the new briggan krauss is the best thing i've heard
in a long time.

Unfortunately I don't have the Pitchcadet ep. Do you know if it's

Subject: CB's Beat The DonkeY! - Masada in London
Yesterday evening I saw live (for the first time) Cyro Baptista's Beat the
Donkey show at the CARRE in Amsterdam. It was simply amazing to watch.
Comprised several percussionists and himself, a mix of several styles of
percussion music, Balinese, african, latin. The instruments were quite nice,
included some colour paint buckets and barels among others.
The dance show was really spectacular, Cyro himself was very active, but two
of the other guys did the most spectacular things. One was tap dancing and
at the same time hitting his chest and neck with his hands producing nice
percussion patterns and the second one did an excellent dance/gymnastics
show. What I found very funny with Cyro was his occasional "PINDAKAAS
PINDAKAAS PINDAKAAS" (=peanut butter, quite popular in the Netherlands)
chants.
The music was giving quite a jungle feel, really wild. Tight as well.
I was sitting next to a lady that proved to be Cyro's wife and manager and
we had a little chat. She said that a BEAT THE DONKEY CD is in preparation
and will come out probably on AVANT. I asked her if it's possible to have it
on TZADIK because these are easier and cheaper to get. She said It all
depends on Zorn...
I bought CB's release VIRA LOUCOS which features mostly his versions of
Villa Lobos compositions, and a few more pieces by himself. Ribot, Cohen and
Zorn himself contribute to this. I listened to it twice already and I think
within a few more plays I will love it.
She also confirmed to me that MASADA play LONDON BARBICAN next week, the
same show that they did in WArsaw this summer, i.e. trio, sextet, quartet.
Have a nice day
