Subject: Re: free jazz underground
the rashied ali/frank lowe record was recently re-ished by knit classics (as
were a bunch of wild ali documents), and it's a fuckin' mind-blower. like
someone already said, the doyle record has been re-ished on cd as well, and
is equally fabulous. i believe the marzette watts rekkid on that list is his
savoy lp, which i've never heard (amy sheffer at tonic tonight, is anyone
going?), but his esp disk is possible to find in cut-out bins (or if some
dumb fucker sells it back and you can find it used), and it's a truly
beautiful thing in my opinion.
by the way, what did folks think of the "jazzactuel" box set? (this may have
already been discussed but i was most likely asleep). i picked it up a
coupla' weeks ago and dig it much, was wondering what other people's
opinions were/are. take it easy...

PLEASE, if anyone is going, or has contact info for Ms. Sheffer--
I need to know. Trying to find more info, etc. on a few Sheffer items for my
Parker discography, so I'd appreciate any help with this.
Thanks ahead of time,

sorry for the promotional intrusion, and further apologies if you receive=20
more than one copy of this:
I'm proud to announce the release of the latest CD on my label:
Burkhard Stangl/Christof Kurzmann-Schnee (Erstwhile 008)
Burkhard Stangl and Christof Kurzmann are both internationally known=20
musicians from Vienna. Stangl is best known for being a member of the semina=
l=20
improv group Polwechsel, for his superb solo record R=E9cital, and for his f=

part, work-in-progress opera Venusmond. Kurzmann is a co-leader of Orchester=

self-titled improv document CD on Charhizma, along with Fennesz and Werner=20
Dafeldecker, with guest appearances by Kevin Drumm, Jim O'Rourke, and Martin=
=20
Siewert.
While both musicians have been involved in the Viennese music scene since th=
e=20
late eighties, and have been friends just as long, their musical interests=20
lay in different areas until fairly recently. They never played in the same=20
band until Kurzmann sat in with Polwechsel in September of 1999 in NYC. When=
=20
they returned to Vienna, they recorded this duo record, inspired by four=20

"Schnee is not about freezing, it is about snow. Therefore anything 'liquid'=
=20
is gone, and has been transferred into a malleable body--its grainy patterns=
=20
and particles are what Kurzmann creates circular asymmetrical patterns=20
within. Stangl's guitar is brittle, dissolving like icicle drops. This=20
record's beauty is in the critical fact that it explores the differences in=20
computer generated and acoustic music, unlike a forced marriage or a=20
systematic clash. Strikingly, it finds its entry at the extremity of=20
fundamental difference between the worlds of the two instruments. It is not=20
reductionist--in that it does not lack matter to its dialogue. Simply these=20
two artists are so assured and comfortable within the language that it leads=
=20
to saying less."-Dean Roberts
Schnee is also available in a European edition, designed by the highly=20
respected Viennese graphics studio D+ and Marcus Sterz, through Charhizma=20
(www.charhizma.com). The music on the US and European editions is identical.

For those with interest, here is an advert/narrative penned by Gene Santoro
for his new book on Charles (Charlie? Unc Chaz?) Mingus:
http://go.borders.com/features/ib0600santoro.xcv
Has anyone checked this book out? I've enjoyed Santoro's jazz journalism in
years past, including one of the journalistic bread crumbs dropped by Zorn,
"Quick-Change Artist Makes Good" from downbeat almost ten years ago.
cheers,

He has lost touch with everybody (his son, his girlfriend), and for what in
exchange? Some cheap exaltation (where the invisible is more important than
what is around him, what he can touch). It appears to me as the ultimate sign
of total failure in life. But I seem to be the only one to perceive the novel
this way (and never tried to verify what was Hesse's intent with it). You are
likely to be right...

I recently purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking, a voice recognition dictation
program. I'm having a ball talking to my computer. I was listening to a
Gerry Mulligan CD while dictating and the microphone started to pick up one
of his solos. The baritone sax is close to my voice in range. I got the
idea to play my bari into the microphone. I just a little messing around
playing different patterns and trying out all registers. I got a very
interesting output. The program uses context of phrases to make its word
selection, so the output was in phrases. There is coherence among some of
the phrases. Words and phrases repeat themselves. It makes for interesting
reading aloud. Has anyone else tried anything like this?

The registers that are close to my voice picked up really well. The high
not at all, the low a little better. I had to keep the dynamics low so that
it would pick it up. Well here's the pure output.

Subject: Re: free jazz underground
Wondering what the Amy Sheffer performance was like. Really care for her lps
that I have heard. What is she currently involved in?
The Jazzactuel box is an amazing document. I think its strengths are in the
selection (esp. including the Jeanne Lee/Archie Shepp composition "blase")
and sequencing of course, but also the combination of the liner notes (was
glad they weren't simply fact or fact education based) with having all of
that music together for a cumulative effect.
The liner notes really bring out the emotional liberating power of the
music, and hopefully will inspire people to seek out this music and have an
emotional (political?) involvement with it.
take care
