Subject: Which Spillane?
Hello again,
I'm interested in getting a copy of Spillane, but I noticed that there are
two versions: one, I guess it's the original, from Elektra (features Strage
Fruit, among other songs), and the second one it's the Tzadik reissue with
Godard and Blues Noel.
Which one do you recommend? Please, tell me all about the songs, the
artwork, the liner notes, everything.
Thanks again ...
Neil H. Enet

Hello List,
I'm looking for this CD, but it looks like it's out of print. I've looked
in CDNOW, AMAZON, BUY.COM, BORDERS, etc. Anyone know where I can find it
online?
Thanks

I have not seen the Godard/Spillane reissue, but from what I understand, it is just the song "Spillane," along with Godard (which I have not heard, either).
The original Elektra/Nonesuch recording remains one of my favorite Zorn pieces. It is the title song (which is a great piece, though sometimes I like "The Bribe" better), along with a great extended blues piece, "Two-Lane Highway" by Zorn & Albert Collins (w/Robert Quine, Big John Patton, Wayne Horvitz, Melvin Gibbs, Shannon Jackson and Bobby Previte) and "Forbidden Fruit" with the Kronos Quartet, Christian Marclay on Turntables and Ohta Hiromi on vocals. I think the music is great and there are a number of essays in the notes (on his music, on Japan, on Jazz & Pop, on Carl Stalling, and on the pieces on the album). I enjoy the album to no end.
Now, without having heard the new release, my verdict would be to get both.

Have you tried contacing Verve directly? I got mine in a plain old record
store a few years ago. If it really isn't in print, maybe they'll suggest
in which chain they may have dumped it.

It looks like wmimusic.com has a copy of a German import for about $14
postage paid (US).
Very much worth the price. It is easily one of my favorite Gil recordings.

Of all the jazz I've listened to over the years, the stuff I've found which
most closely resembles the mood and overall feeling of Badalamenti's TP
stuff is Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. That album in particular and that era
of his music in general put me most in the same frame of mind as
Badalamenti's TP stuff. Even other Badalamenti soundtracks don't have the
same feel.

yup, agreed. also worth looking for is something by Little Jimmy Scott, who
has a bit part in the movie, singing a song in the Black Lodge, as I recall.
I'd go for one of the more recent ones on Warner Bros.
on a somewhat related note (I think they were both Peter Guralnick-inspired
projects), Charlie Rich's Pictures and Paintings (Sire) is a pretty
unheralded and amazing record. after 40 years, Rich finally got the chance to
make the record he wanted, and it's beautiful, right at the nexus of blues
and country and jazz.
two other records I love that I never hear anyone talk about are the two
companion volumes of New Orleans pianist James Booker on Rounder,
Resurrection of the Bayou Maharajah and Spiders On The Keys. compiled from a
bunch of shows at the Maple Leaf Bar, Spiders is solo piano, while
Resurrection adds Booker's unmistakable croaked vocals. these capture the
spirit of New Orleans on record better than any other recorded document I can
think of.

If memory serves, Little Jimmy Scott's appearance was in the Twin Peaks TV
finale, rather than the movie, though the track appeared on the CD of the
movie soundtrack.
The stuff I remember...
Actually the movie soundtrack sounded to me like Badalamenti having fun
with bass players. And while "Kind of Blue" struck me immediately as a
next step, I don't know of much else that sounds quite like "The Black
Dog Runs at Night" or "A Real Indication", though I'd like to.
