I'm sure this will stir up a nice little hornets' nest here but that's what we're about, eh?
Many fellow bleeding hearts have looked for a silver lining in the U.S. election debacle and its aftermath. Other than constant talk of emigration, the other thing they grasp straws at is the theory that bad politicians
(adversity) breeds good art. I wasn't too certain about this myself and was wondering about what you all thought about that.
Personally, I would prefer to have four years of shitty music as opposed to destabilizing tax cuts, Star Wars II and roll-backs in abortion-rights and environmental legislation (as G.W. has promised us).
Best,
Jason

If you are afraid that this record is miles away from his usual band music,
you are right. But your fear should not go beyond that because it is a very
interesting record.
DULL BANG, GUSHING SOUND, HUMAN SHRIEK is an outlier in Bobby's production
and is quite unique. It is more about atmospheres and experiments. No jazz,
no group playing, just Bobby alone playing with various instruments and
effects. If you like Bobby, I am sure that you will be interested in that
one, since it sheds light on a side of Bobby that was unknown, I guess, for
many of us.
Patrice (still unable to find a Bobby Previte record boring).

Subject: Chappaqua?
An idle thought just occured to me: I recall that Ornette's original
music for the movie Chappaqua was designed to run under the entire
film. Would it work to run the Chappaqua Suite CD under the video on the
DVD, or have the parts of either been reshuffled around?
(And what ever happened to the movie "Box Office" and his soundtrack to
that?)
