Subject: Re: ibarra 'review'
I was at the Friday night premier of the new trio at Tonic. Here's most of what I wrote in a state of blissed-out semi-coherence to Rick afterwards:
"Absolutely stunning. Best Susie by far, stellar playing by all. I liked the Cooper-Moore/Chas. Burnham lineup, but Taborn and Choi bring a whole new dimension of virtuosity and subtlety to the proceedings. And Susie just keeps growing as a writer. Highlights: a thing called "Bug" where Susie directed Jenny and Craig with hand signals a la Zorn and laid down absolutely the most furious groove I've ever heard, and a calypso ("As Is" I think) that could have gone on for...ever...
"One of those nights you live for."
Alas, I don't think the Tonic gig was taped (no Bruce that night). I can't imagine that the trio won't record. Susie said they'd been working very hard leading up to the premier, and it's obvious that this isn't some one-off group. They've gone right to the upper echelon of my select must-see-every-time-in-town list.
I guess I'm still state of blissed-out semi-coherence...

That was me. I ran into one of the Luggage Store owners the next day on
the street and told him i couldn't stay for the eventual appearance (i had
my 75 year old mother with me, a trooper to be sure, but ...). He said it
was a _great_ performance. As you say: 'what do i know?'

Subject: Re: It went Nababokov
Malraux omitted The Royal Way from the one-volume Pleiade collection of his
novels actually, though it seems to me better on most counts than his earlier
work (The Conquerors, etc). I think if you like Camus' writing, especially
Noces, The Stranger, or The Plague, you should check out The Royal Way.
There's that wonderful passage where Claude finally realizes what links him
with Perken: Their common obsession with death. A fitting description for
everything I've read by Malraux so far. Oh, and French dudes realizing near
the end that they didn't have enough love in their lives. Yawn.
BTW, I think it's "Pnin" (no "e" on the end).
I missed the original post... did Zorn mention Malraux in an interview or
something?

Subject: venues in San Diego?
Hi
I'm off to San Diego for the summer, and was wondering
does anyone know of any venues I can catch some of the
poeple we talk about on the list or some other good
I've seen on Napster, Bill Frisell listings with a title/band called "Power Tools"... Does anyone know about this project? What is the line-up and where can I get the CD?
- -That which is Theo "My philosophy, in essense, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."
An individualist is a man who says: "I will not run anyone else's life, nor let anyone rule mine. I will not rule or be ruled. I will not sacrifice myself for anyone, nor sacrifice anyone to myself." --Ayn Rand.
