Subject: Rhodri Davies
Can anyone answer a potentially *delicate* question for me?
Is Rhodri Davies, the wild improvising harpist who plays with Derek Bailey, John Butcher and Simon Fell, the same person as Rhodri Davies, the harpist who plays with Welsh "popera" warbler Charlotte Church?
JonAbbey2@aol.com wrote (about choosing Fela over Laswell):

The first part seems accurate, anyway.
I like numerous things by Laswell, but "technique" is about the last term that comes to my mind in describing any of them, unless you're talking about the technique displayed by many of his sidemen (like Buckethead, for whatever that's worth).
"Emotion" wouldn't be right, either, as you suggest. How about intuition? Instinct?

Unless there's a Davies clan in the Welsh hills bringing forth hordes of
harpists named Rhodri, gotsta be, I would think, though I can't say for a
fact. Great player though and seeing him with the IST trio earlier this year
was a joy.

Subject: [no jz] "new" monk
Greetings!
Columbia Legacy is dropping several "new" Thelonious Monk sets on us: has
anybody listened to all or some of these, and cares to comment?
I am especially interested to her about "Live at the Jazzworkshop": this
appears to have been recorded right around the date at the It Club ("Live
at ..."), with the same line up. How do these compare? What do we learn
from the Jazzworkshop recording, what tunes do we hear (in exciting
versions?!) that don't appear on the It Club set?
Some reviewers are pretty critical of "Monk in Tokyo": in particular, the
rhythm section doesn't cut it, compared to Gales/Riley. Comments?
Legacy also released a three CD box covering Monk's CBS recordings. So
far I've been reluctant to buy any of Monk's CBS discs--other than Live at
the It Club and the complete solo recordings--in the believe that the
rest don't really compare to his earlier recordings and that he's
primarily recycling his own compositions, with fewer and fewer new
inventions. So, is the box worth it? Or are there individual disk you'd
recommend?
Thanks in advance, Albrecht

Subject: Sex Mob, Alvin Brown, & Savoy Brown
Just back from a great Sex Mob show in Columbia, SC. They've been here on 2
other occasions and this is the first time I was not working and had the
chance to go. Everything but the kitchen sink, is the best way to describe
it- about 90 minutes of non-stop music- a mixture of Monk, funk, mayhem, and
Britney Spears (a classic 10+ minute version of "Oops, I Did It Again").
Great show
Earlier in the day had some absolutely smokin' electric blues by Alvin Brown
followed by Savoy Brown at MLK Park. Two shows like this on the same day is
a rarity for this city. Man, I'm beat...

There's a music ordering site out there that boasts to have anything =
that one may desire. I've ordered CDs from there before, but I can't =
remember the name of the site to save my life. Can any one help.
