DIGEST #22, 2-13-95
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it looks like the Laswell people have it. :) I got
mail from several people (48) giving a hearty 'yes' to the
Laswell idea, and only (2) 'no'. So for now, Laswell and
the downtown improvisers are completely fair game to discuss
on this list.
Discussion may include, but is *not* limited to, the following
artists:
Bill Laswell, Bill Frisell, Elliott Sharp, Bobby Previte,
Liu Sola, Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Nicky
Skopelitis, Joey Baron, Last Exit Posse, Painkiller,
John Zorn (obviously :), Material, Tetsu Inoue, etc...
** There is a great article on Bill Laswell, and another
great article on the Boredoms in the latest issue of
Mondo 2000 Magazine. Check it out! **
Also, for all of you who are interested in obtaining a catalog
of Knitting Factory artists, the email address is:
kf@knittingfactory.com
Enjoy! -Matt, zorn-mgr

If you open the list, I guess that it should end up as a:
NY DOWNTOWN MUSIC list
and it would include not only Zorn and Laswell, but artists like:
Elliott Sharp
Wayne Horvitz
Zeena Parkins
Knittin Factory's rooster artists
etc
Patrice.

I would love to talk about Laswell; in fact, I think he needs his
own list! For one thing, Laswell is not confined to the jazz
avant-garde. He's deeply involved in world music, funk, ambient,
dub, etc. If we're going to talk about him on the Zorn list, we
should probably clarify which of his projects is fair game to
discuss. Some people may not want to hear about all these diverse
projects.
On an ambient tip, Laswell's new album on FAX, "Outer Dark," is
a mighty fine example of intelligent ambient with world music
influences. And since FAX releases are limited to 1000, better
get it while it's hot!

OK, I guess this is my first attempt at wading into this Zorn morass and
I think it's a good entry point: Laswell added to the list-topic is a
great idea...Also forwarding the discussion to the various related
players to both of these cornerstone-like gentlemen is a good idea (I for
one am a huge fan of Bill Frisell and Joey Baron, the Last Exit posse,
and all Laswell's world music associates - Bachir Attar's release on CMP
is required listening for cultural literacy IMHO.)
I've just recently gotten Masada and I'm relatively happy with it,
although I probably would have been more so had I not seen that line-up
in the fall at Duke. The live power (not even amplified - except
stand-up bass amp) of that band is so expressive and rich that the CD can
never relate this info. Too bad...does anyone else have it? What is
the general feeling about a "Jewish Jazz" concept? How do people feel
about it in reference to Ornette Coleman?
Lastly, I NEED a copy of some coherent set of rules for COBRA. I've read
the "descriptions" of it which have driven me this far, but I actually
need some hard rules...I will gladly pay $$$ for both the
trouble of
sending them as well as the collectibility thereof. I don't intend to
try to "rip them off" for any massive commercial gain (although that's a
pretty funny idea), I just want to
"play" a few rounds as a performance series here in beautiful Chapel Hill
(whose cultural tastes far exceed the gigs we get in our area.) Please
help me and I will be forever indebted to you...
Thanks in advance and I'm happy to be here in Zornland.

Sounds cool to me, altho I can't contribute anything about him right
now (too damn busy).

Yep, it's supposed to be a Japanese ltd edition, dunno how to get
ahold of it tho (if anybody finds out, lemme know also - I WANT IT)

I know, it is kinda slow, isn't it. Matt - any more thought been
given to take it off a digest version and put it under listserv or
majordomo? That'd speed things up, methinks.
[in my past experience, most (not all, mind you) people
did not like a real-time mailing list at all...
I will still think about it, but for now I would
like to keep it as digest....thank you. -matt ]

Just FYI: this document is available via the WWW at
http://www.nwu.edu/WNUR/jazz/artists/zorn.john/discog.html
Except that that one says "Version 5.0 -- October 1994" instead of August...
Patrice always keeps me set up with the most recent version, so feel free
to visit whenever you need to.
If any of y'all have other Zorn Info you'd like to archive, I'll be glad to
add it to the JazzWeb -- just drop me a line...

I don't like much of Laswell's work, I'd prefer it if he wasn't
discussed here.
