Subject: de kift
i own the album _vlaskoots_ by de kift and have really been enjoying it
lately. any suggestions on the next thing by them that i should pick
up? any other recommendations of groups in the same vein? i often hear
them compared to the ex, but i have enough albums by the ex to keep me
happy for now.

Subject: Group
Are there groups in existence, either on college campuses or elsewhere,
that seek to bring people together who share an interest in the
avant-garde, in all it's various mediums? To hook up people for
collaborations and organize concerts, exhibits, performances, etc. I'm
trying to organize something of this nature in my area, Indianapolis.
Does any one have an ideas on promoting (getting the word out) this
concept?

Or damages his stuff as I'm sure he believes (& at times is undoubtedly
right).

get the real thing, Masada went on, and when the guy got back with the
sandwiches, Zorn called a drum solo and went sidestage to eat his.

Subject: Buy Dutch jazz now: while you still can
Hi there!
Amsterdam newspaper De Parool recently brought the news that BVHaast (Willem
Breuker's record company) stops distributing Dutch Improv cd's. BVHaast will
only be focusing on their own releases from now on.
Directly Zorn related: that means that the 'October Meeting' cd's will be
out of distribution for a while (the misha mengelberg tribute with Zorn and
Dutch iomprovisors!).
Further labels that might be very hard to come by in the future, include
Michael Moore's Ramboy, Ab Baars' Geestgronden, Cor Fuhlers DJ Cor Blimey!,
the fairly new TryTone label, and, sadly the whole ICP Catalogue, including
their latest three: Mary Oliver, Tobias Delius and ICP Orchestra: Oh My Dog!
I have no insights in how this will effect the labels themselves, customers
being deprived from the possibility to order in Dutch record shops. TryTone
seems to take it lightly, outing ambitions of 'taking it all over from
Breuker'.
Let's hope for the best, not all Americans are aware of how small and
fragile the Dutch scene really is. Believe me, this is a shock, we now only
have one jazz distributor in Holland, the fairly mainstream 'Challenge'.
Regards, Remco Takken

yo -- oberlin definitely made a move towards this when they instilled the
emerging arts program. the conservatory and college have been working hard
to get avant garde type artist people on campus as of late (kaffe matthews,
pamela z, karen findlay, to name a few). you are going to need to start with
an established group, whether it is a faculty group who has the financial and
connective resources to get you set up, or like the independent film club or
something. someone with a budget. you can start with events showcasing this
stuff (the indie film club at oberlin has shown stuff like the andy warhol
movies, etc. etc.), then coerce, convince, or otherwise connive faculty and
the likes into funding bringing people in.
there is also the rare chance that you can email someone randomly and say
'hey, there are 20 kids here who want to talk to you - we can't pay you but
could you show up or are you going to be around?' -- this sometimes works if
lesser-knowns are playing gigs around the area. you can sometimes get 'em to
stop in for a lecture or something. another thing you might want to try is
an email forum with people (we had newmusic@oberlin.edu, for example), and
occasionally get together questions for J Random Important Person, then email
them off to JRIP, and JRIP will answer and you can post to your forum.
aim for liberal faculty first. the school is the place with the $$$... and
almost everyone wants the $$$ for something or other...
love,
k8.
