Subject: jonathan whitehead

i was just curious if anybody is familiar with this
musician? he's credited for the music on this late night
british comedy 'black books.' just from the theme the
playing is very similar to that of marc ribot and other
guitarists who've played with tom waits. i did a search for
him online but the only one that may be him was a jonathan
whitehead who plays drums with a robert whitehead. so i am
not sure if he is a drummer and composer or this is another
man all together. any help would be gladly appreciated!

dont dig the sermons there. I buy jazz sides to dig in

Sorry,
A funny thing is that one can make such mistakes much more often on such
lists then in normal life. It's prettty funny, actually. Good luck to all
the list with all their exams, wifes, huspbands, toys, children, and other
disasters.

Greetings,

For the year end, we have staff best-of-year lists (including the editor's
extensive listing of every good record that could be heard/found).  Also,
we have tributes to two late, great guitarists: George Harrison and Michael
Karoli (Can).

Otherwise, in the latest edition of Perfect Sound Forever
<http://www.furious.com/perfect>, you'll find (among other things):

OUM KALTHOUM
The Golden Voice of Egypt- one of the most legendary voices of Arabic music
(surely on a par with  Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn), revered by everyone from Bob
Dylan to Diamanda Galas.  Rudy Meixell examines her history and her
essential recordings.

We're always looking for good material so let us know if you have any
writing or ideas for upcoming issues.

Best wishes and happy holidays,

Subject: RE: Best of 2001

The first disc is similar to the Rastascan releases by his Sour Note Six
combo, only with more vocals than usual. The latter two discs are by a more
recent band, Jettison Slinky, which has more of an electric sound and a
funky vibe to it. It even reminds me a bit of Canterbury, and, like almost
all of the jazz that did anything at all for me this year, it's on a tiny
micro-label. But fear not - I believe it's three CDs for little more than
the price of one, with a lovely hand-designed box. (Graham, jump in here if
I'm getting any of this wrong...)

    Now that I have some time to actually READ
    the zorn-list, rather than just administer
    it...it turns out I was at the center of
    a controversy. ;) Darn...I love a good
    tussle.

    Much appreciation for all the nice comments
    about how I admin the list. As for the
    quality of the list, I can't take credit
    for that...that's totally related to
    the quality of the list membership.

    Thanks to everyone who informed Jeton that
    I was on vacation and the list software
    probably blocked his message because it
    was too big. Which is exactly what happened.

    Moral: Read the zorn-list info packet,
    which exlains what happens if your eloquent
    prose is less than succinct.

    Ironically, I was at the Zorn/Bailey/Baron/
    Workman show, though I wasn't lucky enough
    to have my coat thrown on the floor by Zorn.

    Long live paranoia, provisionally.

Subject: James

I must admit I'm surprised to see so much talk/write of James on the John
Zorn list. Personally, I think the album Laid is one of the most beautiful
discs I've ever heard. I love the fact that at the last minute they replaced
some earnest cover with the picture of the band wearing dresses and eating
bananas. I wonder if that was Eno's idea?

I think Whiplash is pretty good, too, and though it lacks Eno's production,
he does sing and play on several tracks. Millionaires is, IMHO, a lot better
than Pleased to Meet Me, though the two are very different. The former is
very produced and glossy (in a cool way), whereas the latter was apparently
recorded in a pretty much live setting, with Eno sitting in. I caught a clip
of him jamming with James online. I wish more bands would do what James and
U2 did with Eno - record a Wah Wah or Zooropa between major releases.

Has anybody out there heard the remastered/expanded editions of
Laid/Whiplash? I'd like to know how they sound before I invest in new
editions of two relatively recent albums..

Also, as for Prince: the new album sounds cool, I think, with some neat songs
and arrangements, funk jams paired with the usual Prince ballad cheese (but
what great cheese!). As for the lyrics: who cares! I've never paid much
attention to Prince's lyrics. It's all about the groove.

Hope you all have a great New Year's.

Josh

Subject: Winter & Winter on the web

Hello z-listers,
I know that the question "Is there a website for the label W&W ?" has been
addressed many times here.... so here is something new that may interest of
few of you... hum... at least those who read french, maybe...
"Musiques de Nuit", an association who's been organizing concerts and other
musical events for many years in Bordeaux (France) has set up a
collaboration with Stefan Winter and his label: "MUSIQUES DE NUIT invite
WINTER & WINTER".=20
From the end of 2001 to the end of 2002, a large series of concerts (and
expo, workshops, etc) of W&W artists will be held in Bordeaux (including
Uri Caine, Noel Akchot=E9, Fred Frith, Pachora, Ernst Reikseger, Amsterdam
String Trio, Guy Klucevsek, Stian Carstensen, Paul Motian....).
For this occasion, the "Musiques de nuit" website (in french) has now a
whole section dedicated to Stefan Winter and his label, including an edito
by Stefan Winter (in french, english and german), an interview previously
published in Jazz Magazine, the W&W catalog with reproduction of the CDs'
artwork, short bios of artists, pictures, selective discographies, links ,
etc....

The website is really nice, in the W&W tradition....... but may be kind of
a labyrinth.... and everything is in french, except for the small
presentation of his label by Stefan Winter.

Here is the address:   http://musiques.de.nuit.free.fr/
To browse the W&W catalogue, go to "Sommaire" =3D> "Musiques de nuit invite
Winter & Winter" =3D> "Le catalogue"

Hope you'll enjoy the visit.

Pascal.

Subject: SMILE !

Hi everybody,

just a reminder:

SMILE
Saturday, December 29th  9pm  $8.00
KnitActive Soundstage
Knitting Factory
74 Leonard Street (5 blox south of canal, bet Broadway n Church)
212 219 3006
http://www.knittingfactory.com

Consisting of legendary jazzman Daniel Carter on winds, a sweet young
wackjob named Dustin Garlitz on tenor sax and a nice young super-monster
named Mike Pride on drums, reeds, voice, toys and whatever he feels like
that day. Along with me on qifteli, skronk guitar, toy samplers etc., we are
SMILE. Our band name is both a nice verb and a cybernetic acronym invented
by Timothy Leary (see his book INFO-PSYCHOLOGY). We play free, and we've
managed to squeeze in some of my singing and poetry without locking into
standard sound-forms.
I intend SMILE to be a comfort space for whatever the group feels in a given
moment, and I bring my love of Hendrix, Sabbath, Coltrane, Dance Music, Folk
'n' Canonical (Albanian-/Appalachian-/"'"'World-'"'"/ Future-,etc), Hip-Hop
and my imagination. We'll be joined by intrepid bassist-extraordinaire
Jean-Guerly, who'll be floating us all in his oceanic electro-mixin' board
fat bottomed sound.

Thanks for reading, Hope to say hi! to some of you soon, and all of you
eventually...

Peace
Jeton 'Tony' Ademaj

No hot discussions right now. Everyone seems to be

No suppositions, I really think he CAN DO ANYTHING!!.

I don't like it, maybe four themes of the whole album,
and they are those in which Ribot plays a major role.
I found it really well performed, but the contents are
not that interesting, IMHO. I prefer "Filmworks X"
which explores similar paths in a more inspired vein.
Maybe I expected too much of that release and the
results didn't meet those espectations in the end. I
don't know.
