Subject: Re: Zony Mash
I have all 3 Zony Mash releases, and have to say
the latest one (Upper Egypt) is the best. The new
line up works great, and the music seems well thought
out. Cold Spell, the first album was pretty good, but
steer clear of Brand Spankin' New.
As far as Pigpen goes, I believe they were a
better band and before I spent $$$ on the latest Zony
Mash, I'd pick up a copy of V as in Victim, by Pigpen.
All the Pigpen albums are worth getting, if you pick
up albums as easily as I do.
...and that's my 2 cents.

Hello to all,
Again, I need advice, and who else to ask? Here it goes:
Anyone familiar with the Twin Peaks Soundtracks (Specially Fire Walk With
Me)? Well, I'm trying to find something similar to that type of Jazz (I'm
so new in the Jazz world I don't even no which TYPE of Jazz that is?)
I hope you can help me .... again!!
Thanks in advance

Five Questions with Dave Douglas: Breaking down musical boundaries
By CHARLES J. GANS
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Ask Dave Douglas what he's listening to and he'll give you an
eclectic earful: the Emerson String Quartet playing Shostakovich, new records by
Steely Dan and Joni Mitchell, and older recordings by pioneering female jazz
pianist-composer Mary Lou Williams.
Douglas believes in musical diversity - breaking down boundaries and using jazz
as a vehicle to absorb other influences. The 36-year-old trumpeter and composer
leads 10 different ensembles, including Magic Triangle, an acoustic jazz
quartet; the chamber group Charms of the Night Sky; the Balkan-jazz band Tiny
Bell Trio; the string ensemble Parallel Worlds; and the Indian-jazz group Satya.
He also finds time for collaborations with choreographer Trisha Brown and
performances as a sideman with John Zorn and other contemporary improvisers.
The Montclair, N.J., native arrived in New York in 1984 and worked as a street
performer while finishing his musical studies at New York University. In the
1990s, he emerged as a mainstay of the downtown alternative jazz scene, making
more than 100 recordings, including 14 as a leader for independent labels. The
most recent, "Leap of Faith" (Arabesque), features 11 Douglas tunes that serve
as launching pads for his quartet's improvisatory flights.
Douglas has won accolades from jazz critics, winning four categories at the 1999
New York Jazz Awards, including artist, composer and trumpeter of the year. He
now stands poised to reach an even larger audience with the release of his
major-label debut, "Soul on Soul" (RCA), with his sextet celebrating the musical
legacy of Mary Lou Williams.
1. What inspired you to do this tribute to Mary Lou Williams?
Douglas: Mary Lou Williams is really one of the giants of last century's music.
.. but she has been somewhat overlooked. ... She was on the cutting edge of
music beginning in the teens of the 20th century and ending in the late '70s.
It's hard to think of too many other musicians who spanned all of those
different stylistic periods and who really continued to challenge themselves. I
look at her as an inspiration to myself to keep moving forward and keep
challenging myself and doing new things.
2. In celebrating Williams, how do you see yourself relating to the jazz
tradition?
Douglas: I didn't feel that Mary Lou Williams would want someone to just play
her music and re-create it. I think her vision was very much about creating new
music on the remains of the old music. ... I felt the strongest thing I could do
would be to write new music in celebration of her spirit, thinking about the
elements she dealt with and the story of her life. ... So on the record, there
are four of her pieces and nine of mine. ... I think that the tradition is here
to be moved forward.
3. Why do you work in so many diverse ensembles rather than focusing on one
band?
Douglas: I like to make music in a lot of different ways. The luxury of living
in New York is that there are more inspiring musicians around than you could
ever have time to play with. So by writing for a lot of different ensembles, I'm
able to work with a lot of these musicians. ... Each project has a very
different sound because I'm writing specifically for the players that are
involved. ... I enjoy the challenge of trying something different.
4. Have you had to make any artistic compromises by signing with a major record
label?
Douglas: It's actually been inspiring to be involved with the people at RCA
because they have encouraged me to do exactly what I want to do and not to pull
any punches. When I was offered the chance to sign with a major (label), several
labels came along at the same time. It was RCA that really made it clear that
they wanted me to continue doing what I'm doing. I'm making four records over
two years for them and producing them myself.
5. Do you think your music can appeal to a wider audience?
Douglas: I don't honestly know. I feel that already I'm seeing this record get
to a lot of people who have never heard what I do and people seem to have a
positive reaction. ... As I travel around the world playing this music, I see
that audiences are aware of a much broader spectrum of music now than they used
to be. People don't tend anymore to be just a jazz fan or just an opera fan. ...
The people I see at my shows seem able to stay with me as I bring in all these
different references to the music. ... People are not as shocked by music that
crosses genre boundaries any more.

Actually, I like Brand Spankin' New the most of all 3 ZM discs, and
probably Cold Spell the least. BSN seems to cover the most ground of all
their records. But the records are pretty similar, it's probably not
necessary to own all 3 unless you're a rabid fan like me. And, ZM are a
live band not to be missed!

The Pigpen stuff is great, but I feel like ZM has really developed its own
identity as a band too. I hear Wayne moving away from the gimmicky
meters-ish stuff on the first record to a more personal sound.

Subject: RE: Zony Mash
Zony Mash is Wayne Horvitz - Hammond B3 and keyboards, Tim Young - guitar,
Keith Lowe - bass, Andy Roth - drums. Zony Mash is less of a Naked City
inspired band than Pigpen was, but it definitely has its moments. The band
has grown tremendously in the last year and a half or so and is now what I'd
call a world-class bar band. The electric band is definitely best heard
live - the sound hasn't made the jump to record all that well, although each
succesive CD has been a step in the right direction. The acoustic band
(same players, new songs) definitely does come across well on record though.
American Bandstand is a first-rate recording. Upper Egypt and American
Bandstand are my Zony Mash picks. They're both easy to find at
www.amazon.com
Since people keep mentioning Pigpen, I'll put my two cents in. V As In
Victim is not my first pick, although Briggan's solo in the title track is
worth the price of admission IMHO. I really like all of the Tim/Kerr
releases, although I don't know if any of them are still in print. The EP
Halfrack is especially worth searching for in the used bins - it's the
screamingest of the Pigpen CDs if that's the kind of thing you like. I'd
also snap up Miss Ann or Daylight if I saw them.
