Subject: braxton, anzellotti...
So I've got a few too many things I've my eye on for my own good;
I thought I'd let those of you who know better set me on some
tracks:
First of all, what are some essential (in print/not terribly
difficult to find) Braxton cds? And how is his Parker Project
release on Hat?
Second, do any of you have opinions on Teodoro Anzellotti's
"Push Pull" cd on Hat[now]Art?
I've been enthralled by accordions/etc. and unusually used
banjos lately, so if there's anything one of you may wish
to speak for in lieu of that...
And speaking of, what is the name of the artist who recorded
the CD of Erik Satie tunes for solo accordion? How is it?
Finally, I've been listening to a lot of Robert Johnson
lately, but I find that placing aside a few exceptions,
I don't really get into much more modern blues. I was
wondering if there was perhaps any artists doing
something original with the format/stretching it? Blues
for someone who loves Tom Waits and Bernhard Gunter?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Take care,
Andy

Last summer The ICP-Orchestra performed at the JazzBicycleTour in a
small church in a village near Groningen, The Netherlands. The place
was totally packed and the ICP performance was great.
In between two songs Bennink walked from the stage (the altar), down
the gangway to the entrance hall, where he got a drink. While
manouvering through the crowded gangway though, a little mentally
handicapped boy (I think he was about 7 years old) pulled one of
Bennink's trouser legs. They obviously knew each other, I think
because of the fact Bennink has a mentally handicapped daughter. They
hugged and Bennink gave the boy his solo-cd, for which he took all
the time he needed to write something down on it for the boy. At the
time the ICP was already playing, but Bennink didn't seem to care at
all. All he and the boy did was talk and giving high fives to each
other.
When Bennink was on stage again the audience couldn't do else as
watch the boy go wild as Bennink did one of his tricks.

How does Bennink pronounce his (last) name, with the 'k' sounded or as
if it were English 'Benning'? I've heard the latter numerous times
from German speakers, surprisingly, since in German the 'k' normally
would be pronounced here, so I wonder if it's unpronounced in Dutch.

Would that be, um, Teodoro Anzellotti? (Winter & Winter 910 031-2)
When I have more time and if no one beats me to it, I'll mention some
Braxton CDs I think are worth hearing.

Hi Steve,
It's pronounced with the 'k' sounding as 'k'.

Subject: Recent Goodies
Weel, since somebody asked, here are a few recent goodies (recent for me
anyways):
OTOMO YOSHIHIDE: CATHODE
It's incredible how beautiful melodies can become almost unbearable to
listen. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...
AMBERCHAI/AVENAIM: THE ALTER REIBE'S NIGUN
This is a very strange recording. I'd like to know more about these two of
anyone knows anything (for example, what is phlegm? - the band, I mean).
It's very good, full of jewish tradition where you least expect it, like the
noisy guitars in the first track.
THE SELFHATERS: THE ABYSMAL RICHNESS...
I'm still growing in on this one. I quite like it, but didn't "fell in love"
imediatly. It's quite paranoic, actually...
JOHN ZORN: TABOO AND EXILE
This one blew me off. Probably repetitive for some of you, but I still loved
it. Has some tracks with tribal feel, like the Cyro Baptista/Joey Baron duo,
has some tracks out of Masada (I think) and has these brutal songs with a
new set that resembles Painkiller (with Lombardo, Laswell, Frith and
sometimes Zorn and Ribot). Great collection of songs, but I think Zorn could
have gone further with the theme...
SONIC YOUTH: SYR4
This is a nice recording showing SY's newest tendency in recording. This
time they're nailing piano keys. Has a funny little track with Coco Gordon
Moore "singing" a Yoko Ono piece... Most SY fansprobably hate it, while
avant gard/experimental types will find it interesting.
MASADA: HET
What can I say about this? It's Masada. Always great, in my humble
opinion...
Also, this is probably old news, but since I've been off the list for a
while:
MR. BUNGLE: CALIFORNIA
Here in Portugal alot of people called it the album of the year, and there
was a great fuss about it, though most people thought it was Mike Patton's
project AFTER Faith No More. I think alot of FNM fans were responsible for
the album's success around here (we have a solid FNM fan base)...
I also got some more things that are probably off topic, like stuff from The
Flamin Lips, Stereolab, Cat Power, Kiss My Jazz and also the new Primal
Scream, which made me wonder if we needed yet another big
beat/techno/hardcore thingie, but then again, what the hell, if it sounds
nice, why not hear it?

Subject: pontiac? lurie?
ok, i should have tried to write it down, but i've nearly crashed up my car in
the past trying to take notes off the radio. so last week i heard a song that i
was absolutely certain was from the fabled john lurie vocal album (i've heard
him talk about it, don't even know if it's recorded). the voice, the humor, the
music (another time i heard him say fela is easily his main musical inspiration,
which made me hear the llizards in a whole new light). near as i could tell when
the dj back announced, it was someone named marvin pontiac or something. wish i
could remember more. anyway, does anyone know the status of the lurie song
project? is there such a person as marvin pontiac? (if not, i'm considering
adopting the name myself).

Maybe it is off topic, but the only Kiss My Jazz I've found around here is "Doc's Place Friday Evening". There is a place on the net that I can order more, but what are the opinions on this album and their others?
