been lurking on this discussion; wanted to see what people had
in mind for vandermark recommendations.
you MUST check out the NRG Ensemble 'This Is My House.' ken
vandermark is a guaranteed good listen, pretty much, but this
particular recording is stellar. esp. in light of what he has
done since, i have to say nothing comes close. very powerful
and energetic stuff. the NRG Ensemble comes from an original
group led by hal russell, but has made some very fine music
since. the one to check out is 'This Is My House.' genre-
bending, thermonuclear intensity.

I have a soft (oops...) spot for _Softs_, as it was a favorite of a long-departed friend of mine. Jon Ethridge makes his debut as a SM'er here, fresh off the heels of a stint in Darryl Way's Wolf. It's a most unique album in the SM catalogue, ranging in style from jazz/metal fusion to almost Berlin school-styled electronics. Not exactly one for the SM neophyte, admittedly, but one I enjoy on occasion. We miss you Tony...:-(

I've not seen mention yet of the excellent live "Noisette", on Cuneiform records. This
one is from 1970, and is from the band before 3 with plenty of reworked material from 1
& 2. Wyatt was still in the band at that stage, although, as in 3, the vocals do not
feature very much. This one is very much worth hearing.
Cheers

Just to clarify, for anyone wanting to delve into the Soft
Machine oeuvre, after Soft Machine Seven, there were no
longer any original members of the band left! The founding
members were Daevid Allen (on to Gong), Mike Ratledge
(sadly M.I.A.), Robert Wyatt (as mentioned, Matching Mole,
and great solo albums), Kevin Ayers (interesting early
solo efforts). Hugh Hopper came in to replace Ayers on
Volume 2 (check out Hoppertunity Box). So regardless of
how one feels about the post Seven Soft Machine albums
(Softs, Live In Paris, Land of Cockayne, Bundles), these
are not really S.M. albums! They should have changed the
name, in fact at that stage the group had more in common
with (Ian Carr's) Nucleus, i.e. Karl Jenkins & John
Marshall. Certainly by that point, the original spirit of
the group (which many feel was embodied by Wyatt) had

yep, 1990 is wrong, it's from 1999.
as for the CD, I've only heard it once, but it's about what you'd expect, as
weird as that sounds. it sounded to me like 2 solo concerts, one in each
channel. I'm not much of a Chadbourne fan, so others can decide how it fits
into his discography, but it's certainly one of the less essential Lehn
projects.

Steve's post was quite good but thought I'd add that the four JSPs are now
available in a box set (one of those where they just took the original
album and added a case) that I've seen in a large chain for $23, a little
less than what I actually paid for the first two alone. JSP also has a
dirt-cheap box of their Django. I'd also add that the "American Icon" set
is about as good an overview of Armstrong's post-war career as we're likely
to get.

Does anyone on the list no anything about the huge new Rhino Box Set.
The new biography of Rahsaan "Bright Moments" lists in its discography a 13
CD box set called the "The WInds in Bb" as a future release. It says it
collects all the Atlantic recordings.

I seem to remember it being scheduled for late 2000 or early 2001 but that might be one of those false memories The Conspiracy planted to prevent me from testifying about the existence of leprechauns. & yes it's supposed to be the "complete" Atlantic recordings.

Masada was good, they played right before Cassadra
Wilson, the crowd seem pretty receptive, tho a lot of
people decided to sleep throughout the entire
festival. Masada stuck to more lyrical songs, they
were gentle on the crowd and didnt really break into
too much emotional material. Dave and john were
playing well together and really got the crowd
grooving out to their sounds. They played what that
audience was ready for, plus a bit more. Even though
the weather was crappy it was still great to listen to
the guys play on the newport harbor. I wonder who
talked zorn into playing at newport?
They scheduled masada and vernon reid at the same
time. A lot of the younger crowd wandered over to the
harbor tent to check out vernon reid's project with dj
logic, the rock sounds were just a bit too much for
members of the older generation, so they were checking
out masada. For a brief time, the newport jazz fest
was taken over by something everyone wasnt ready for.
I commend the JVC folks for that. They also gave zorn
