Dear old GG... RIP
Most (in)famous for his feces-splattering, audience-bashing performances- never
had the honor of witnessing this but I've seen some videos that document his
art. A friend of mine told me that GG would gobble down X-Lax before shows to
get his bowels in shape. Many shows wouldn't last long as the patrons didn't
like getting shit thrown at them and clubs would usually clear out and GG would
land in the jailhouse many time. One of the guys who worked at the Cat Club in
NY (where GG scrawled his name on the backstage dressing room doors) had no
sympathy for the fleeing patrons: "You come to one of his shows and what do you
expect?"
Best,
Jason

%Foetus ca 85 Fribourg

% skinhead frontrow of heads with his doc martens as a shock start.
I've seen Foetus a couple times and the one I recall most was in Melbourne,
Florida
around about 1990. It was an all-ages show and for whatever reason it had
mostly
attracted the local punk-rocking 13-16 year old crowd. Anyway,
Thirlwell is performing with his usual rancorous attitude and he creeps up
to the
edge of the stage with the microphone and starts sneering at the kids as he
shouts
in the mic, sort of hanging over the edge of the stage so he is over the
audience,
and one short little kid makes a peace sign with two fingers at Thirlwell,
who just sneers at the kid, until the kid promptly and rather gently inserts
these two extended fingers into Thirlwell's nostrils, quite deeply.
The look on Thirlwell's face was one of pure shock. I don't think Thirlwell
ever provided an audience with such a shock.

The Little Trumpet is fabulous. killer band including Bill Frisell, Tim
Berne, and Warren Smith on vibes. everyone gets great solo space. The
Marvelous Event (track 10) is alone worth the price of admission, with
everyone trading solos, and the tune actually begins with the sound of
jackhammers. beautiful. sean

I am really glad to see this getting reissued as well. Through the used
CD sources and a friend (thanks Mike!) I have been enjoying _Shades of Bud
Powell_
and _Certified_ recently. This JMT period seems to have been a really great
time for
Herb's music. Anyone care to comment on Herb's other JMT discs...I was
especially
wondering about _The Little Trumpet_.
Thanks
