<<Why's that?  Medeski is a great player, even if he doesn't always show it
in MMW.  He has played with the Either Orchestra, and the somewhat
unfortunate "Surrender To The Air" project.  I realize that many of people
have written off MMW because of their popularity or their hippie following
(I stoped going to their shows because I find the mixture of patchouli
(sp?), BO, and cloves to be pretty unappealing, but they are good
players).>>

anyone who was at the zorn/medeski/ribot/wolleson shows last august knows
that medeski can hold his own. there were a bunch of mmw hippie-types there,
smoking pot through the whole show and being jerk-offs, but whatever. one of
my favorite zorn quotes comes from that night: "asshole! hey, motherfucker,
stop smoking that shit!"

Possibly Yuko Fujiyama?  I'm not too familiar with her, but she plays on
this record with the horn players from Test, Susie Ibarra, and Wilber
Morris.  Good, quite blues-based free jazz.  The piano playing didn't leave
much of an impression that I can recall now, but anyway. . .

Subject: 13WAYS

from the knight-ridder news wire:

FRED HERSCH/MICHAEL MOORE/GERRY HEMINGWAY "Thirteen Ways" (Palmetto, 3 1/2
stars)
This trio recording is partly a free jazz excursion among some like-minded
folks. But that freedom is handled carefully. Pianist Fred Hersch, saxophonist
Michael Moore and drummer Gerry Hemingway never treat the free concept as a
license to go nuts. They go to beautiful places, find some handsome skeins, and
rework them in such a spontaneous way that it's hard not to get gushy.
The CD opens with the plaintive, "Focus," whose somber beauty announces the
recording's direction. "En Tee" is about as brittle and chilly as things get.
"Tango Bittersweet" finds tragedy in a dance while "Bug Music" mimics the mania
of its subjects. The set closes with Jaki Byard's boppish and humorous "One Note
to My Wife" and "Habanera," an ethnic, dance-inspiring number that goes to some
unexpected places.
Even this free jazz isn't for the overworked or the attention-deficient. But
Hersch is an artful colorist who could probably find romantic poetry in the
phone book. Hemingway and Moore rise to the challenges.

Drumm and Otomo have never recorded together; I'm not even sure if they've
played together before.

<<BTW, opinions on Otomo's Shabondama Elegy?>>

I don't recall seeing it listed for sale outside of Japan yet.

Kevin Drumm is playing Tonic, 4/27-28, although with some odd pairings (Lee
Ranaldo, White Out, Ikue Mori, maybe one other). hopefully they'll let him
play some solo material also.

Hey there:

Just wanted to drop a line to those who took note at the header:

One of the two upcoming James Carter CDs on Atlantic, 'Layin' in the
Cut,' is an electric funk disc featuring a band comprised of Carter,
Marc Ribot (gtr), Jef Lee Johnson (gtr), Jamaaladeen Tacuma (el b) and
G. Calvin Weston (dr).  On one listen I can safely report that it's
righteously and raucously funky, and James blows his lil' brains out on
at least one track.  Lotsa fun, if not really groundbreaking in any
way...

The other James Carter disc to be released by Atlantic on the same day
is described as a "Django Reinhardt tribute."  As I've not yet seen or
heard this one, I can't report as to whether Ribot is on it, or whether
it has anything to do with Ribot's own long-rumored Reinhardt tribute
that featured Eyvind Kang.  If I hear before you do, I'll let you know.
I think both are due to be released this month.

And of course, as has already been mentioned, there's a new Ribot y Los
Cubanos Postizos disc due out from Atlantic any day now as well, titled
'Muy Divertido! (Very Entertaining!)'

Here's what we've all been waiting for, announced a little less than an
hour ago (at www.JazzE.com).  Perhaps I wish I could be a little more
cynical, given personal past history, and there are a few laughable
things here, yes (though fewer than anyone might have guessed, all
things considered).  But all in all I'd have to say that this is perhaps
the best Knit festival in quite a number of years.  And yes, Zorn is at
least in some small way included.  But Ornette, Cecil/Max (a free
concert, as in "free of charge"), and the Art Ensemble all figure quite
largely - read on.
