For the two or three of you who don't get Bruce Gallanter's Downtown Music Gallery newsletters, some big news...
[from the newsletter]
So Zorn calls me up last week and says "Are you ready for some heavy news?!?" "Of course bubby, lay it on me" says I. So Zorn tells us that he is finally working on the long awaited Naked City Live cd (2 or 3 cd set, maybe?). I have been pestering him about it yearly since Naked City played their last four nights at the old Knit in September of '93. Zorn says he has received a bunch of great quality recordings from the entire history of the band. Naked City played quite a bit of inspired covers throughout their four year existence, few of which are available on their 5 in-print cds. Their covers included tunes by Live Skull, DNA, Beach Boys, Funkadelic, an amazing Rai song, Shirley Scott, film composers and Dizzy's "A Night in Tunisia". Naked City were by far the most exciting, intense, diverse, ultra-tight and incredible band of the nineties!!!

This doesn't seem to correspond to how the terms is actually used. After
all, the Radical Jewish Culture series serves to question and challenge
mainstream Judaism rather than fanatically buy into Jewish fundamentalism.
I can hardly imagine any of the series's releases playing in the streets
of Meah Shearim or the relevant parts of Borough Park.
