Subject: Re: Metamkine (was AMM)
I'm in Bologna on a lousy computer, so pardon the combined answers.
Caleb's right, the Cellule D'Intervention D'Metamkine has not recorded, and they won't, because it can't be captured on a CD or probably even a DVD. they played early this week at the festival Giuseppe Ielasi organized in Florence, with nmperign, Dean Roberts, Giuseppe, Michael Schumacher, and more than one jaded listener told me it was the best set they'd ever seen. they're supposedly playing montreal later this year.
as for my Rowe comments, I'm sorry if they offended. feel free to slam Rowe, AMM, Erstwhile, me, or any or all of the above. seriously, go ahead.
but I'm entitled to my opinions too, and I thought that specific comparison was silly, although after the clarification by the original poster, I probably wouldn't have posted what I did. it was what I thought was the Rowe/Sonic Youth comparison that triggered my post.
man, it's raining hard here right now.

Subject: tenor
I've seen Evan Parker several times, but last night's solo gig at the Knit was one for the books. More than anything, it sounds like he's been practicing his ass off with that tenor. he's finally got the concept and the fluidity to do on tenor what he does on soprano. shit. I was expecting it to be great, but it just floored me-- easily the best show I've seen since Barry Guy at Tonic. He told me after the show, "it seems the tenor was working tonight." pff.
He also mentioned a gig in France where the Parger-Guy-Lytton trio recently played, saying it was their best playing ever. "Barry wants the tape to put out, but I'm putting it out as soon as I can!"
Also: In a real fuck-up by the Knit, William Hooker's big Billy Higgins tribute concert seemed totally un-advertised. I think maybe 7 people showed up. I split after hearing Hooker set up his drums & tune-- I can't imagine a more *unfitting* drummer to pay tribute to the class and elegance of Billy Higgins' playing. I heard Evan was gonna play, with Joe Lovano, Matt Wilson, etc, and Assif had his horn with him. anyone check that out last night?
Cheers,
Dave

<<There's a trio with Baron and Brad Jones on Avant (or
was it DIW?) called "Who's Bridge". Someone on the
list recommended it to me and indeed he was right!
Also on Hathut, "two days in chicago", a double cd.
really good!>>
Yes, Who's Bridge is on Avant and it's a really really good piano trio CD,
all originals w/ a lot of Monk and Herbie Nichols influence but more
crazy/out stuff. If yu like this, try Anthony Coleman's Sephardic Tinge trio
CDs on Tzadik. (Patrice R. recommended both of these on the list way back
about 4 years ago, thanks again...) The next one w/ Baron and Greg Cohen is
on DIW and I think it's either all or mostly other people's tunes (still
