Hey everybody.

I started getting into the music of Antony Braxton and what are your favorite Braxton
albums?  These are three of my favorite:
Circle Paris-Concert.
Town Hall (Trion & Quinte) 1972.
Dortumnd (Quartet) 1976.

Also, how many albums did Circle made?

I believe his name is pronounced like this:

This new quintet recording is a LIVE recording, of a show they played
here in Seattle at the EARHSOT jazz festival in the fall of 1995.
The show was voted the HIGHLIGHT of the festival, and is considered
by many to even be the best improv show of ALL OF 1995 IN SEATTLE!!!!
There is a reunioun show scheduled for May 14th at the Tractor Tavern,
Seattle, WA, where copies of this LIVE CD will be on sale.(It's the
CD release party, so to speak.....and I will certainly go check it!)

Yeah, I would say he was probably having a bad night.  Or, maybe the other
musicians were having a bad night.  The bottom line is that the jam wasn't
happening, for whatever reasons, and that's just the nature of live improv
sometimes.  Anyways, I would like to say that I have seen Kang in very good
form more often than not, esp. in one of his appearances with the SUN CITY
GIRLS, a BRILLIANT group of madmen that live in Seattle these days.(formerly
from the southwest somewhere) The Sun City Girls are fabulous these days....
....and they are all over the map.  Eyvind once did a "middle-eastern"
flavored jam with them that was wonderful......I love it when the SUN CITY
GIRLS do this type of jamming.....as they are VERY good in this context...
Another wonderful Kang appearance was his guest slot with PIGPEN a long
time ago('93), where he sat in and played Frisell's parts during a SET of
NAKED CITY tunes.  He made his violin-like electric instrument(homemade)
squeal and screech in such a wonderful way......very nicely indeed....

>All this talk about Eyvind Kang has gotten me curious as to who he is.
>I've never heard of him before; could someone tell me a bit about him?
>-jascha

Well, Eyvind is a YOUNG man(20's) who is originally from Canada,
and came to Seattle to attend the CORNISH College of the Arts.  He was
educated there by a wonderful violinist named MICHAEL WHITE, who has
played with SUN RA and PHAROAH SANDERS in the past, among many others.
I believe MR. WHITE appears on Sanders' latest CD!(and had a mighty
fine jam with Mr. Sanders during one of the nights of his last Seattle
appearance.) I ASSUME it's because of Mr. White that he chose Cornish.
Anyways, Eyvind was mentored by a great violinist, and he is a very
talented improvisor.  He has a bright future ahead of him, IMO.....

p.s.- the Endless Records compilation I mentioned in the most recent
      digest features Eyvind on a number of cuts.  The CD is alot of
      fun, and FYI: can be purchased by sending 12$ to: Endless Rec.'s,
      17 1/2 W. Dravus, SEATTLE, WA 98119.  A bargain indeed!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about all of them, but I can give you what I do know. Other
than the obvious (FNM & Mr. Bungle), He worked with Boo-Yaa Tribe together
with Faith No More on the soundtrack to "Judgment Night". The soundtrack is
completely tracks in which rock bands team up with Rap artists, and actually
it is a very good disc. The FNM/Boo-Yaa Tribe Song, "Another Body Murdered"
is one of the better tracks, though I think just the thought of Slayer and
Ice-T together was worth checking the disc out. With Sepultura he does
backing vocals on their new album "Roots". The album is pretty good, kind of
thrash/death metal with a tinge of tribal influence. I can't remember the
name(s) of the song(s) that  Patton does vocals on, and also Jonathan of
Korn also contributes on the album. As for Zorn, I know that Patton did
vocals on his "Elegy" album, as well as touring with Naked City. As for the
other artists I'm not too sure, so hopefully someone can fill in the other
blanks.

Hey, how about telling us what "Adult Themes" is like for those of us who
have not gotten it yet!

Also, not all the messages are getting to us. I've noticed replys to

This is a Warne Marsh record, not a Braxton record. My favorite Braxton of
the forty or so I have is Willisau (Hat Art). It's his classic quartet, with
Marilyn Crispell, Mark Dresser, and Gerry Hemingway. It's 4 CDs but it's
probably not that expensive if you get it from North Country, with their
recent Hat Art sale.

I was actually pretty disappointed by _Zohar_: worth a listen, but it
wasn't that funny at $14.98 Canadian.  However, I spotted a second Eye/Zorn
duo in the shop yesterday, _Nami Nami_ (on Tzadik): anyone heard this?  It
looks considerably more promising (among other things it's a full-length CD
instead of _Zohar_'s 28 minutes), but I've not yet convinced myself to pick
it up.... --N

    It is true, we've been having problems with the
    zorn-list mail program (especially for digests)
    ever since our generous hosts as xmission
    switched us to SmartMail. Just when we think it
    is fixed a new bug pops up. Urgg!

    SO, xmission has decided to move everything
    back to the majordomo mailing list server.
    This will be happening sometime in the next
    two weeks.

    A thousand apologies...but your consolation is
    that you haven't had to process 1.5 Megs of
    error messages.

    Let's keep our fingers crosses. Thanks

the hatart 4 cd set "willisau (quartet) 1991" is the essential braxton
recording of the past 10 years, i can't recommend it highly enough, it
captures one of the finest groups in the history of jazz at their
pinnacle. 2 live cds and two studio. totally profound, heavily
spiritual. i know it's expensive, but it's so worth it!

>
> 1. For Alto (Delmark)
> 2. 3 Compositions for the New Jazz (Delmark)

these are both essential documents of his early (pre 1970) music. "for
alto" literally changed the face of saxophone music forever. zorn, steve
lacy, evan parker etc, all point to this as a prime influence.

> 3. The Coventry Concerts, Vols 1 &2 (Leo)

i've never seen this as two volumes, only as a dbl cd. this is the same
group as the willisau set, 6 years earlier. i would say get this (and
the london and birmingham sets on leo) only if you need more after
hearing willisau.

> 4. Ne Plus Ultra (Hat)
>
are you sure this is a braxton album, i've never heard of this, what is

some other aspects of braxton's music that aren't covered above:

70's quartet with dave holland:

-"the montreux/berlin concerts" (arista)

with british guys:

Beware of Zorn/Eye duos!  I like them, but for the price of a Tzadik CD,
you could get something with actual musicality going on, rather than the
sonic jokes to be found on Zohar and Nani Nani.  Nani Nani is more varied
than Zohar, and many of the songs, although completely inane and stupid
(on purpose, of course) are funny.  'Bad Hawkwind', the (chuckle)
'ambient' track is an 18 minute long scream, thanks to long delay
settings.  If you subtract that from the total length, it's 42minutes
minus 18...so actualy there's only 24 minutes or so of music which does
anything.  Purchase at your own risk.

Maybe an old question... but is there a website or an FAQ available which

stock on the shelves anymore.

Picked up Patton's solo record.  Pretty wild, it almost sounds like he's on
the John Oswald tip.  I can't wait for the FNM crowd to pass by it, pick it
up, and go, "Huh?"

What's the mask all about ? Is he shy ? Wish to remain anonymous ? Does he wear
the mask in a "live" setting ? He's definitely a monster guitarist but perhaps a
bit eccentric ? just curious............any comments Patrice ?

Could someone either unsubscribe me from the zorn list or post
instructions on how/where to send unsubscribe messages.

Thanks!

In a message dated 96-05-11 19:25:29 EDT, you write:

My guess is that the role is shared by several people; a concoction devised
so that Buckethead can change his guitar styles from record to record, show
to show; If he gets sick or dies the legend can continue.  They have
different famous players sit in and then try out up-and-comers. The first
Buckethead show was Frank Zappa and for the last few months it's been back
and forth between The Edge and Les Paul.

This is starting to sound like a good idea for a comic book...

A good idea for a bad comic book.  Maybe.

i wouldn't. i think of all the duos with percussionists that bailey has done this is
the least representative. he made several duo recordings with han bennink which are
good, but his recordings with john stevens (perc) and/or evan parker (sax) are really
the place to start. many of these are not in print, but some great ones have been
reissued, or are still available, including the duo with john stevens "playing" the
trio with stevens and kent carter "one time" and most importantly the "music
improvisation company 1968-71" (w/parker, hugh davies and jamie muir), which is one
of the best free improv records, in my opinion.

Assuming that this was a serious question (most of the replies weren't), I
know the answer to this because I know him.  He doesn't like his real name
to be used, although it appeared on his first recorded performance (on a
Henry Kaiser album.)  He always performs with the mask and the bucket on
his head.

He is not famous outside of the stage persona, and he is especially not
Eddie Van Halen, or Steve Vai, for that matter.  Neither of those guys can
play the jazz stuff he plays.  He knows the editor of Guitar Player, which
is how he ended up writing the column.

He plays more or less regularly in three bands, Giant Robot (Buckethead and
Brain), Praxis (Buckethead, Bill Laswell, Brain, and occasionally others),
and the Deli Creeps (Buckethead, Pinchface, and two guys whose names I
don't know.)

He has recorded with George Winston (!), Henry Kaiser, Bootsy Collins,
Jonas Hellborg, Michael Shrieve, Bernie Worrell, Bill Laswell, and others.
He has also done soundtrack work.
