Strange, I saw the same band in Porland and was at no moment compelled to really listen to the drummer. I found both the drummer and the bass player to be in the "meet-the-requirement" category (you would notice them if they stopped playing, but besides that, they failed in my opinion to bring sparks or imagination to the performance).

Drummers
by David Evans 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

Hello all, Quite a few people have mentioned John McEntire and I totally agree with you. But I think Johnny Herndon also deserves a mention as an equally good drummer. Just listen to any Isotope 217 disc. I also second anything by Jim Black and Joey Baron (I especially like his playing on 'Tucuma' by Vinicius Cantuaria). For 'stop-on-a-dime' drumming I'd recommend:- - Fantomas ~ The Director's Cut - Ruins ~ Mandala 2000 Top drumming on my CD player at the moment comes courtesy of Paal Nilssen-Love on the Scorch Trio album on Rune Grammofon. And although I think the remit was records with great drumming, 2 drummers who've really impressed me in concerts over the last couple of years are:- - Chad Taylor (Chicago Underground Duo) because he plays great drums and vibraphone/xylophone at the same time! - Tony Buck (The Necks) for keeping a regular pulse going for an hour at a time whilst dropping in some subtle nuances. That's my tuppence worth anyway. Dave. "Results! Why man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work."

Ritual
by Zachary Steiner 17 Oct '02

17 Oct '02

I've noticed quite a bit of fascination with ritual amongst avant-garde artists; both an interest in traditional rituals from other cultures or the creation of their own rituals. Is this merely a coincidence or is there a reason behind this? It seems odd that artists so intent on breaking from/breaking down existing forms of artistic expression would have such an attraction to certain traditions. Zach

COLTRANE
by Theo Klaase 17 Oct '02

I've recently gotten into Coltrane and I had a couple of questions: a.) Did Coltrane do any "noise" music? Did he ever make the sax scream like Zorn, and if so, on which release? b.) What did he die from? E-mail me privately, thanks in advance... _Theo __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Kenny Wollensen all the way. Jim Black's Bloodcount work. And Billy Kilson (Dave Holland's drummer) stole the show at this summer's Newport Jazz Festival.

I would recommend Ask The Sun - a very good duet between Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang. It was recorded 1995 and doesnÂ´t fit in the last five years.
