yeah, these three are all great, along with Evangeline, The Carmelites, In
Pittsburgh, Two Nights (w/Alan Licht), In Bern (w/ Jim O'Rourke), and
Crucible, not to mention the Haunted House CD on my label. I would suggest
starting with one or two from this list, definitely not with the 4 CD box,
which is for LMC addicts only, I think.

THE GODZ (Jud Yalkut)
That's a listing for something being shown to accompany a Ken Jacobs show at the Museum of the Moving Image (or whatever the real name is). Does anybody know if it has anything to do with the Godz who recorded on ESP?

Yes. From a similar program that appeared at the Whitney Museum last Halloween:
ESP-disk Films
ESP-disk was a pioneering record label that issued avant-garde rock and jazz records. Assembled here for the first time are the three films ESP-disk commissioned
to promote its artists, together with Michael Snow's film New York Eye and Ear Control (A Walking Woman Work), featuring a soundtrack by Albert Ayler that
became the first ESP jazz release.
Edward English, The Fugs, 1963, color, sound, 12 1/2 min. (The Fugs)
Jud Yalkut, The Godz, 1966, color, sound, 12 min. (The Godz)
Edward English, Spaceways, 1968, color, sound, 18 min. (Sun Ra)
Michael Snow, New York Eye and Ear Control (A Walking Woman Work), 1964, b/w, sound, 34 min. (Albert Ayler)

On the Motion website, at the end of his (excellent) review of XU FENG,
Simon Hopkins writes:
"PS. Fred Frith is sooooo on form at the moment"
Well, if the latest releases with Frith I bought were:
- - Maybe Monday (Buzz recs, with Miya Masaoka and Larry Ochs),
- - Later... (Victo, with Ikue Mori and Mark Dresser), and
- - Traffic Continues (W&W),
did I miss something REALLY important? The last Frith/Cutler duo, maybe?
Anything else?
Thanks
Pascal.

Yes it does. 2 p.m. on Sunday. Jud also has a current series at the
Whitney, featuring film programs and a number of reconstructed
installations from the 60s (the second opens today); infos follow (note,
there are a number of other films that may appeal to folks here).
