Getting a bit beyond the Zorn scope, aren't we? ;-)

I'm 39 and live in Melbourne, Australia. I work at Missing Link record shop
that has a Tzadik/Downtown/free jazz and beyond section, as well as lots of
punk. I run a record label, Dr Jims that has put out quite a few artists
that have Zorn connections such as Peril, Phlegm, David Watson. I appreciate
this list for putting me on to loads of stuff that I would've missed out on
especially if their recommended by Brian, Waxman, or Steve Smith. The record
that introduced me to the avant garde was the Beatles Revolution number 9.

I became interested in Prelapse from the tracks on the Zorn Taboo & Exile (or is it Music for Children?)CD, so I bought the Prelapse disc, hoping for more of the same. My huge disappointment came as soon as I heard an Eye-style vocal in the Prelapse stuff. I despise Eye's contributions to Naked City (if I could excise his 'contributions' from NC, I'd spend a lot more time listening to their discs), and the Prelapse "Eye-lite" takes a lot away from their music for me.
As for violinists, I missed some of the posts, but I didn't see Mark O'Connor mentioned, which surprises me (unless the original post asked about strictly avant-style players). Yes, he's doing classical crossover these days, and he's never done anything remotely avantish, but he is one monster if an improvising instrumentalist. Certainly technically, there's never been anybody even remotely on his level in the non-classical world, and very few in the classical field either. But it is what he does with it that can be mind-boggling. His best stuff is still found in the progressive bluegrass/newgrass/new acoustic bins, usually as a sideman (especially from the 1980s, early '90s), but he's also done some a few great albums himself. Try "New Nashville Cats," or "Heroes," for starters.
And having mainly lurked around here for about a year, I was surprised at how many folks are in my age bracket (41).

Don't bother - it's one of the more disappointing records I've heard in my
31 years of male existence.

What's not to like about it? Sure, it's not bursting out all over
the place with Quine solos (okay, that could be a source of your
disappointment), and it's got that 80s up-front Linn drum thing
(possibly another), but there's a great interplay between guitars
(yup, Fred plays, too) and there _are_ some hot Quine solos
("Bluffer," f'r'instance). Standouts for me are "Pickup," the
aforementioned seriously-rocking "Bluffer," the lighthearted "Fala,"
and the evocative "Summer Storm." (Okay, most of Side 1.) "'65" is
great, too, although I will admit that side two does slow down a bit.
The guy who sold me my copy cautioned me that it wasn't what I
expected, and said he remembered Quine telling him with delight that
it didn't have any solos on it and that people would hate it.
(Significant paraphrasing there; don't quote me.) I failed to be
disappointed, though.
Yours in relativism/pluralism/etc.,
Maurice

RANDOM ACOUSTICS Germany
Gustafsson, Mats, John Corbett, Terri Kapsalis & Fred Lonberg-Holm
Battuto
RG-RA023-CD Jazz 786497261529 ($20.00 CD)
John Corbett, guitar; Mats Gustafsson, tenor sax, fluteophone, flute,
flageolet; Terri Kapsalis, violin; Fred Lonberg-Holm, cello. Recorded
1996 in Chicago. =ECI remember hearing this recording for the first time
during a car ride thru Chicago in 1996. I was immediately fascinated by
the tightness of the musical text. Apart from the obvious James
Brown-like quality of =EBgetting down=ED, these 18 cuts have all the
density, clarity and logic of some of the best scores from the heroic
days of the =EBnew music=ED of the 1950s. There are moods too and fantasy
and lots of improvisation ...=EE =F3Georg Graewe, Berkeley, CA, February
2000.
Lehn, Thomas
Feldstarken
RG-RA027-CD Jazz 786497261925 ($20.00 CD)
Thomas Lehn, analogue synthesizer. All compositions by Thomas Lehn.
Recorded between July and October 1998 and May and October 1999. All the
music was created in real time with an EMS Snthi =EBA=ED synthesizer.
Schiaffini, Giancarlo
Tuba Libre
RG-RA025-CD Jazz 786497261727 ($20.00 CD)
Giancarlo Schiaffini, tuba. Although Schiaffini=EDs place in modern jazz
history is well ensconced as a trombonist, he has also built a
reputation on the tuba. Solo albums are difficult vehicles in which to
sustain the listener=EDs interest; but Schiaffini gets around this
somewhat by adding electronics to his acoustic tuba - not by merely
distorting its solitary sound, but by using the electronics as a
separate, additional instrument. What he accomplished is nothing short
of remarkable - not only for its virtuosity, but more importantly for
its emotional depths.
Stelen
Four In One
RG-RA026-CD Jazz 786497261826 ($20.00 CD)
Johannes Bauer, trombone; Luc Houtkamp, alto & tenor sax; Dieter
Manderscheid, double bass; Martin Blume, drums. Recorded in 1999 in
Koln. The exquisite music on this CD symbolizes the tension between
freedom and order, appealing to the listener to discard predetermined
notions and immerse himself in a new world of splendours. Every piece on
this recording is completely improvised. There are no melodies in the
conventional sense, but there is tremendous variety, ranging from
intense interaction to contemplative moments of simmering beauty. There
are magnificent solos and extraordinary virtuosity.
