i mentioned to mr shipp about the zorn-list conversations about him.
he was pleasantly amused and confirmed what i had said about him here
before; he had enough in the can already and wanted to give buyers a rest;
we laughed about how we both have bought way too many discs to absorb,
and he had that same fear about his disc-buying audience regarding himself.
then he chuckled to himself, and confirmed, yes, the deal with thirsty ear
made him reconsider and indeed in making new recordings to that series
he's curating for thirsty ear. upcoming is shipp's session with leo smith,
among others. he said it's his favorite so far, and then laughed at himself,
saying he says that about every new disc, but he does really feel that way
each time.
he gave me an okay to report this to you, and wished all a happy thanksgiving
as do i
with love
steve koenig.

Well,
I got one album from Death cube k,called Disembodied,and is good.Someone said is more guitar oriented,but the only one I thought was more guitar-oriented is the second track....anyway,it's cool if you're into Bill,but some bucketeers might not like it.I'd recommend Praxis for Bucketheaders.By the way,now that I mentioned it:does anyone know what's the lineup for Praxis's Mold?Cause it sure don't sound like Praxis,and I doubt Bucky's on it,since I didn't hear any guitars...it's more ambient,I guess.Anyone has any comments on any track of this album?Thank ya.

Hi,
Sorry to bother the list, but I've looked all around without success for
info on this recording, which I saw mentioned here a short while ago. Can
someone please give me info about title, label, recording date, etc.?
Thank you.

THE DREAM BOOK

By Derek Taylor
Unlike Ellington celebrations, tributes to Ornette Coleman are a relative
rarity. The disparity is interesting considering that many in creative
improvised music circles regard Coleman=92s radical innovations as of par=
allel
importance to those of the Duke. McPhee and Duval go a long way towards
rectifying this gap on this disc. Recorded live at the Knitting Factory
during a series of concerts McPhee was commissioned to perform, each of t=
he
pieces in this concert is dedicated to individual members of Coleman=92s =
small
combos. The opening =93Dance of the Reasons Why,=94 the longest of the tu=
nes, is
for Dewey Redman. McPhee=92s curvaceous improvisations on alto recall the=
dry,
dulcet tone of the tenorman with supernatural accuracy. On =93Beyond the
Truth/Lies,=94 a piece for Charlie Haden, Duval=92s improvisations on Hut=
chins
bass, a smaller, specially constructed variant of the double bass which a
emits a resounding string sound just below the cello range, are positivel=
y
ear-bending. He crafts a delicate pizzicato solo that perfectly echoes Ha=

lody,

McPhee swaps sax for trumpet on =93Moffet=92s Motif=94 slurring rueful ph=

while Duval generates percussive patters on the wooden body of his bass.
=93Old Eyes=94 salutes the Coleman himself in an opening alto solo that b=

for David Izenzon, is curious in that Duval sticks to pizzicato, avoiding
his bow and the arco technique for which Izenzon was so renowned. The
bassist unsheathes his bow briefly on =93And Then Red,=94 for Scott LaFar=
o, a
tune is steeped with tactile melancholy. The concluding =93Celebration=94

t
lines on the brass instrument that Cherry first made his leaps forward on=

Coleman=92s original quartet make for a fitting end to this priceless dis=
c. In
his liners McPhee makes the point that so often tributes are made after
their recipient has passed. Taking the lead he shows us that rather than
waiting for their absence, we should honor such mentors with thanks while
they are still among us.
Personnel: Joe McPhee- alto saxophone, pocket trumpet, Dominic Duval-
Hutchins bass.

hi,
does anyone else feel swamped by the z-list? i don't post often, but value it
as an erudite informational source. but i'm a busy guy, and i just cannot
keep up with the emails (digest of course); i'm just finishing october! i BEG
the following:
update the FAQ, so less of the same-old often-seen questions.
dont use the list because you're too lazy to get on the net and find the
email for nonesuch, and such.
always keep the subject line specific. this is an issue when a topic wanders
off into a different or more specific direction (i.e. tonic deconstructionism
shows leading to laswell reccs, but the subject line remained the same
throughout).
PLEASE and THANK YOU!

Hey,
dudes.Just came by to say that some of you would like to give a shot to Zillatron's ''Lord of the harvest''.Why?Cause it's cool.And that's the deal.BUT,if we need something to keep it in the avant-garde,there you go...Bootsy Collin's on it.And I was just wondering...who plays with Bootsy on that Zillatron record?Looks like the guy who speaks on Buckethead's first track on Monsters and robots(''I can never stop working hard,blah blah) is on it.Any info?Also,fans of The Residents should check out Moog Cookbook,although it is way poppy...ah,what the hell.
