Because I asked him. At first he didn't want to talk, but after a few
hours of Osaka Bondage and some Shangkuan Ling-Feng, he spilled.

-Subject: my first posting (gasp)
hi, i'm new to the digest. don't make fun of me.
i have gotten into zorn lately, but mostly his "solo" releases (spy v. spy,
spillane, cobra) and painkiller. i was wondering if someone could
recommend a good entry point into naked city. also, my idea of what
masada is about is only vague; could someone describe them or some of
their releases for me?
also, since this has lately become the mr. bungle digest, i wanted to
recommend their new album. it's weird, about five times as weird as the
last one (which i liked a lot). mike patton has dropped considerably
into the background of the group, vocal-wise.

<<<Regarding Mark Dresser...I'm almost sure that the man has his own CD out.
In
fact I believe Dave Douglas (trpt on the MASADA series) is on there too. The
name of the CD escapes me right now, but I'll post it when I find out.>>>
I believe the album you're thinking of is "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari--Music
for the Silent Film," and yes, Dave Douglas is the trumpet player. It's a
trio-there's also some very interesting prepared piano on the album, and my
mind has just gone totally blank on what the pianist's name is. Very scored,
very ominous, and it contains a lot of subversive rhythms. It's interesting
to listen to while watching a tape of the film, too.
Sorry about forgetting the pianist's name--my CD is at home, while I am not.
It's released on Knitting Factory Works. Great stuff.

-Subject: HORVITZ covers Brahms
Don't know if this showed up on the list before, but I found this blurb
in the latest issue of Classical Pulse!:
"The Romantics," an inventive 13-track sampler from Windham Hill Records,
modernizes romantic minatures by Chopin, Schubert and others courtesy of
the label's roster, including Liz Story and the Turtle Island String
Quartet; the standout is a Brahms "Madchenlied," op. 5, No. 3, by Wayne
Horvitz (keyboards and programming), Mark Feldman (violin), Dough
Wiselman (clarinet) and Marty Ehrlich (alto flute and bass clarinet).

High Rise are a noisy psychedelic band from Tokyo
lead by bass player vocalist, Nanjo. As far as I
know, there aren't any Ruins members involved.
Their first self-titled album is an outstanding
swirling roar...it was one of the first releases
for Japan's P.S.F. label. It was bootlegged once
by the Pubic Pop Can label...whoever they are.
The original was going for about $100 when I was
in Tokyo 2 weeks ago, and even the boot was priced
high at about $40.

The later releases (on CD) vary from very good to
so so...I can't recall which is which. They had
cleaner production and were less noisy, I remember
that much.
Any one else?

-Subject: Mark Dresser
Mark Dresser has a cd on Knitting Factory called "The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari," presumably intended as a soundtrack for the classic film.
Dave Douglas is on it, and I think just one other person, but I can't
remember who. I asked about it a while back before my system went
down for a few months. Is there anyone out there now who can give us a
review?
Thanks,
Xander

Sorry- but there is no adaquate way to decipher a poem, no matter what the
institution says. This quote was just taken from a part of the poem
"Garden" which he wrote. I would print the whole thing but it's twenty one
pages long. I believe it was written for his solo pieces called "Garden"
on Hathut. I got it out of a book called "Moment's Notice- Jazz in poetry
and prose". It's edited by art lange and nathaniel mackey.

Phil Minton's voice on Bob Ostertag's Say No More and Say No More in
Person, is spellbinding. Is anyone familiar with his other work? Are his
other recordings consistent with what he did under Osterag's samplers and
direction? or is it radically different?
Much thanks --Marc Kate

-Subject: re:Butch Morris
This is in response to a question about Butch Morris' release, "Current
Trends...". It is a large band, but other than Zorn and Frank Lowe I
can't remember who plays on it. It is a recording of one of Butch's early
conductions, from 1987, I believe. In my opinion, it is only fair. A much
better document to my ears is the "Dust to Dust" release on New World
from 93(i think that's the date), where the material is excellent, very
well played, great improvisations, and very interesting textures; the
instrumentation is unconventional and works well. For anyone really into
Butch's work, New World is about to release a ten disc collection of
previously unreleased conductions, for about 150 bucks! Also check out
his work with David Murray's Big Band from the mid eighties on Black Saint
and on a more recent DIW release.
--One more note: to anyone thinking of ordering from Wayside, they have a
good selection, but be FOREWARNED- I ordered a bunch of stuff from them
ten weeks ago and STILL have not recieved it.

Hello there-
a review of this band that I read somewhere stimulated me
(as I have a soft spot for power trios), and I thought I'd
see what y'all thought about their new CD.
Thanks in advance for all your comments.

Do you call offering trades advertising? As for our mailorder MENTION not
ad, I did it as a public service as I always see people mentioning where
to get stuff and adresses for wayside and cadence etc. We service more
Zorn and Downtown fans with music than anyone and I feel 1 post every few
months stating so is appropriate. If you really want to know about and
obtain all Zorn and downtown releases try getting on OUR Zorn list where
we call our best customers as each release comes out. Selling this music
is done for love OBVIOUSLY not money due to this limited interest this
great music generates.
As for Bruce gALLANTER Its true he has been to more Zorn shows than
anyone several hundred, Maybe 90% of every show Zorn has done in NY in
the Last 15 years and he has them all on tape, with Johns Permission. In
fact John, Dave Douglas, Elliot Sharp etc go to Bruce when they need
copies of their old shws.
My advice to you is stop flaming, and start trading
PS I agree that we need to provide more informative posts regulary, and
Bruce is working on answers to questions from the last 2 digests
