>I produced an MP3 CD-ROM (698 Mb) with 143 Masada tracks (only 6 songs
>missing). All songs bitrate 128 - 44100 Hz. I added 24 playlists:
i must admit, when i first read this, my reaction was: cool!
but on second thought i feel strongly opposed to this.
we're talking about music that is NOT selling millions. these people are
releasing beautiful music, and i want them to keep doing this.
i think if you make a cd like this for some friends that you know are big
fans it's fine, but to sell this on a public email list is not only illegal
but especially immoral.

Subject: this Saturday, Pink Pony, NYC
All New Yorkers not planning on seeing Mark Dresser's Moisture on Saturday night:
Come to the Pink Pony, a cafe in the Lower East Side (Ludlow, b/n Houston and Stanton). If you've never been there, it's a great place to see local music of both the etablished and up-and-coming types. Of the former group, William Parker, Joe McPhee, Test, and more have been recent performers. (Myra Melford will be playing a rare solo set on Feb 29th, for $5!)
SO:
at 8:00, it's Eye-Door, a young improv group singled-out recently by Thurston Moore in an interview about the future of the scene. It's Matt Mottel on synths and electronics, Dave Jones on clarinet and alto sax, and Josh Benash on guitar.
at 9:00, it will be my pleasure to play bass in a trio with pianist Stephanie Stone and drummer Tim Keiper. Stephanie has been like a mother (& grandmother) figure to countless 'downtown' musicians since the 1970s. She and her husband Stone are nearly eighty, and they're more active and alive than anyone a quarter their age, making the trip in from Brooklyn to see challenging live music *almost every night*. She's a great pianist from the swing and caberet traditions. Tim is a good friend of ours too; he's a student of Susie Ibarra's and has an amazing resume for his age. Tonight we're playing free, and it should be a nice challenge, that dialog between generations.
at 10:00, Eye-Door returns for another set of improv, this time with three cats who need no introduction: Daniel Carter, Sabir Mateen and Matthew Heyner.
It should be fun, and it's only $5.
Cheers,
Dave Reaboi

Subject: Zorn about MP3?
Hi Philozorners,
I wanted to create a website with samples of Masada, Naked City, Zorn,
Frisell, Douglas and others music, encoded in MP3 format. I don't want to
upload songs from their records, it's obvious crime, and a real shame for
any fan. I have about 50 Zorn records myself, all Masadas, Naked City, all
Frisell records, and Douglas discs, and I totaly agree, that promoting MP3
as a replacement of a record is a theft. But my website would contain only
samples from LIVE SHOWS, I have quite nice collection of CDRs with live
performances recorded by someone from the audience etc. I like these
recordings just because Zorn was in Poland just twice
