It's called _The Art of Memory_ & it's on Derek Bailey's infalible Incus
label out of the UK.

I wouldn't be surprised, since Masada-mate Marc Ribot was so important to
Waits' sound.
Has anyone seen Xu Feng yet? Zorn and Yamatsuke Eye play the Knitting
Factory on 3/16.

Subject: Re: Zorn and Frith
In my opinion, this CD is horrible. It's _total_ improvisation. Well, I
take my first comment back. It's not horrible, but it's definitely not
worth the $25 my local record store was asking for it. When I first saw
it, I asked them to play it for me, and most of the tracks were filled with
a lot a dead air sparsely seperated by minimal sqwaks by Zorn and Frith. I
waited until someone else traded it back in, and I picked it up used for
$10. It's worth buying for $10 for the simple fact that it _is_ Zorn.

I am working on an "official" one with someone at Axiom. I will have a
short form at my web site (URL below) in the next few weeks. There is one
available at the following location that I have been unable to access:

I will put a copy of this at my web site next week so people can look at.
Check around mid-week.

Do you mean http://www.nwu.edu/WNUR/jazz/artists/zorn.john/ ? It's kind of
perfunctory, but I will be glad to add any appropriate documents to the
page -- I'd also love to point to the FTP archives, but I don't know where
they are!

PS Many other downtown NYC musicians are well-discographied by Patrice
Roussell -- check the index at http://www.nwu.edu/WNUR/jazz/artists/ to see
who else is covered in the web, and feel free to send me info about other
folks if you have it (but please don't ask me questions about people who
_aren't_ listed...)

Hey Zorn Freaks.....
I have a release from Tzadik out of a catalog stateing whats going on with
the label....
First off, its an American label....so now maybe prices for his and other
musicians CD's won't be so high.
Its going to reissue 8.....yes 8!!!!! out of print Zorn albums on
CD........Vols.2 & 3 of Filmworks...and an album of never-released early
recordings from 1974....so there is alot to look forward to from the man
himself.
There are 3 parts to this label.....the Composer Series, The Radical Jewish
Culture Series, and the New Japan series.
The Composer Series will feature some of the most exciting avant-garde
composers handpicked by Zorn...there will be the first domestic release by
Shelly Hirsch and David Shea......as well as other experimental composers
like Alvin Curran, Richard Teitelbaum, Mark Feldman, and Arnold Dreyblatt.
The RJCS will feature musicians whose influences are rooted deep in
traditional musics of Jewish heritage.......people like Coleman, David
Krakauer and David Licht.
New Japan Series will focus on the Tokyo and Osaka underground rock
scenes...people like Eye, Haino Keiji, Ikue Mori, the Ruins.
It should be an exciting label...very diverse.
Some upcoming releases include:
Alvin Curran--Animal Behavior TZA CD 7001
Mark Feldman--Music For Violin Alone TZA CD 7006
Chris Brown--Lava TZA CD 7002
Mamoru Fujieda--The Night Chant TZA CD 7003
David Shea--Hsi-Yu Chi TZA CD 7005
Gisburg featuring Quentin Chiappetta TZA CD 7007
these are all part of the composer series....enjoy!!

procedures ??

I assume Tzadik is a record company. I am new here, and might have missed
this information, but does anyone have the address for these folks?
