Various "In His Own Sweet Way - a tribute to Dave Brubeck" (Avant)
(seems like album from Great Jewish Music series on Tzadik which was
released on Avant for some unknown reason, it includes the best of
downtowners circa 1999 from Caine, Coleman, Krakauer and Friedlander
to Frisel, Sex Mob, MMW and Pachora)
That's all for now, but I'm absolutely sure that the best of 2000 will
be changed for me even in the next few months.

Well, what I actually had in mind was a deep and reverberant rumbling, like
echoes in a cavern or tomb. But some of the album certainly has a metallic
edge to it, so rock on, indeed.

Two words: Cuong Vu.
Actually, I could offer a lot of other words, too: Matt Moran, John
Hollenbeck (though he's actually in Manhattan), Andrew D'Angelo, Oscar
Noreiga, Brad Shepik, yadda, yadda, yadda...

so i picked up a couple of the 32jazz rashaan reissues and at some points the
bands (especially the horn playing) really remind me of 'ground zero plays
standards.' they both do bacharach's 'i say a little prayer', which makes for
obvious analogizing, but beyond that, the powersax, the pounding drum. funny the
parallels that strike you sometimes.
meanwhile, an all black disc fell out of its case. gasp! no scratches, but what
is it? no marking, so not a psf, but maybe another haino title? turns out its
sunny murray/charles gayle. please tell all the labels, no more all-black or
all-white cds. they don't look _that_ cool. it's tired.
ok, back to work.
np: rashaan roland kirk - dog years in the fourth ring (marveling at coltrane
lines being interloped into the bacharach theme now).

I'm looking at it on Napster right now, so that might be your best bet.
