Actually Quine is still under contract to the E.G. people to deliver another album, which he's been reluctant to do (hence no other solo records since Basic). He reunited with the Voidoids recently and has done some session work here and there in the last few years (sadly, I don't remember all the details).
re Painted Desert, Ikue has said that she loved her collaborators but prefers to play in a less rhythmic style.
Best,
Jason

Subject: Oboe
I was having a debate with my friend about oboe. She didn't think that the
oboe could be played in a jazz or avant garde setting. I said that it
probably could, because it's somewhere between a soprano sax and clarinet in
sound. Are there any oboe heavy recordings that I should know about?

The only jazz oboist I know of is Paul McCandless, who also plays a host
of other woodwinds. I've only heard him play with the Paul Winter Consort;
what I've heard is very folksy, but unmistakably jazz nonetheless. Do you
guys know of any avant-garde jazz oboists? I would be shocked if none
exist.

You could play the kazoo or ukelele in those settings if you wanted to. I
used to play the oboe, and didn't hear anything about rules that you can't
play certain styles on it, so I occasionally did some jazz and some free
improv. I am not aware of many recordings where it is a main feature, but
would guess that some exist. That said, oboe is present on a good handful of
list-related cds I can think of off the top of my head - Vicki Bodner on
Zorn's 'The Big Gundown', Ribot's 'Shoe String Symphonettes', Carol
Emanuel's 'Tops Of Trees', etc... I also remember oboe appearing on Eyvind
Kang's '7 NADEs' and 'Theatre Of Mineral NADEs' and also The Club Foot
Orchestra 'Plays Nino Rota'...

I'm not sure the name of the oboist, but a few years ago I caught Eugene
Chadburne playing with a synthesizer player and oboist in a coffee shop. So,
Listen to Paul McCandless on Oregon's Distant Hills (1974) - lots of avant
garde sounds

I think Andy MacKay (Spelling is wrong) of Roxy Music played Oboe...but is
that too pop?

I had a Cannonball Adderley record, LIVE IN JAPAN, I
think; it featured Dr. Yusef Lateef tearing it up on
oboe on at least one track. I've also heard some
improvised bassoon, which should count for something
(used as soloist on at least one part of the
reconstructed Mingus EPITAPH). And in Henry Cow!
Doubly,

Hello there...
Just recently I discovered that there are two or three books available
that are written by David Toop.
Has anyone from this list ever read one of them?
Any thoughts / comments?
Thanks a lot!

Let me add: Harmony Korine is also credited with vocals on the latest Bonnie
"Prince" Billie (i.e. Will Oldham) album, "Ease Down The Road". I have no
idea on which track(s) he sings, though.

Speaking of Chicago, there's also Robbie Hunsinger (sp?). I saw her play a
brief duet with Evan Parker a few years back and she was great.
The oboist who played with Chadbourne may well have been Carrie Shull, a
fine player who's also in the Micro-East Collective.

Subject: Re: Oboe / Y. Lateef
Ah, yes: I have a David Liebman record on which his
wife (not sure about that) Caris plays oboe. I don't
remember much in the way of what passes for
improvisation from her, though. The album is pretty
good, a collection of Coltrane compositions, recorded
in the Eighties, with one acoustic group and one
electrified fusion group. DRUM ODE it ain't.
BTW, I mentioned Yusef Lateef earlier; has anyone
heard his piece for orchestra and improvising
ensemble? For a number of good and bad reasons, I'm
leery of "jazz with string orchestra" becuase it seems
that so often the resources of the orchestra are
wasted/misused. But I heard Lateef's (long) piece,
recorded live, on NPR...it was part of a series
celebrating African-American composers, which is just
about the only way we get new music on the public
radio station here. (Apropos.) Anyway, the piece was
_shockingly_ good...rather, it greatly exceeded my
stunted expectations. Yusef twisted his tenor sax in
all directions, and I rmeember being wowed by the
orchestration. I'll try to seek that out. It was
epic, and I have no idea if it's been published as a
recording. What's YL been up to?

Could add Marshall Allen on many Sun Ra records, Nothing Is, Fondation Maeght, When Angels Speak Of Love and many others mostly end of 50's and 60's. And Yusef Lateef at least 3 Faces of YL + a bulk of others same period. Eastern-oriented, especially Yusef. Marshall more avangardish, Yusef rather hardboppish.

I can't believe that you're speaking of Chicago and not mentioning
Douglas Ewart. I don't know about the oboe, but he is a noted improviser
on the bassoon. Another improvising bassoonist is Janet Grice. I can
remember one night at the Creative Music Studio when Joseph Jarman just
had to get on the phone to Ewart to tell him about this young white girl
(Grice), who was tearin' it up on the bassoon. I think that Janet is
active primarily with teaching these days. She lives just north of NYC.
