Odd Combination
by Bill Ashline 04 Oct '03

04 Oct '03

Saw this list of upcoming concerts in December for Otomo Yoshihide in Japan on the IMJ website. Among several shows with Anode, there's this offering: 14 (Sun.) Yoshihide Otomo, Bill Laswell and Yasuhiro Yoshigaki at Shinjuku Pit Inn in Tokyo. 15 (Sun.) Yoshihide Otomo, Bill Laswell and Yasuhiro Yoshigaki at Shinjuku Pit Inn in Tokyo. Very strange to see Laswell playing with Otomo. I wonder what's going on.

New Release
by Bill Ashline 04 Oct '03

04 Oct '03

Got this from the latest Playing by Ear Mailing. Apparently a new Tzadik release forthcoming: $22 FIER, ANTON: Dreamspeed/Blindlight 1992-1994 2CD (TZ 7609). "Anton Fier is well-known in rock circles as the drummer for the Feelies, the original Lounge Lizards and mastermind of the Golden Palominos, but these two CDs, both long out of print many well be his best work." Nice to see Dreamspeed reissued again. My favorite work by Fier. But Blind Light is great as well.

Thirsty Ear
by Richard Gardner 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Does anyone know the background of Thirsty Ear Records. I had associated them with Tim Berne, William Parker, Spring Heel Jack etc. Then I bought CDs of Foetus "Deaf" and "Ache" and they are on Thirsty Ear. I went to the web site and read the roster of artists: http://www.thirstyear.com/thirsty_content/bands_shell_frameset.html And then found this quote: Thirsty Ear, led by Peter Gordon, is rather a quirky progressive label that I wouldn't describe so much as being close to the edge; more like hanging over the edge with both hands clutching the edge for dear life when suddenly your nose begins to itch. There is a common atmosphere about this music that is not far removed from a little town up north called Twin Peaks! Thirsty Ear is to be especially commended for their alliance with such artists as Robert Wyatt, Adrian Belew, John Fahey, John Martyn, and others. To my eye the label looks like the hobby of one (wealthy?) man. Is this the case? The collection is so wide and odd that it doesn't seem to make sense unless its somebody's personal taste.

Modern jazz compositions from Haiti
by Robert Pleshar 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Anyone here have the album "Modern Jazz Compositions from Haiti?" on GM Records (I believe)? It supposedly has Lee Konitz in a quartet and some other folks as well. It might be listed under the name Gerald Merceron, who was the composer. I've never seen it, but would love to hear it as I'm a big fan of both Konitz and Haitian music. Any leads appreciated. thanks, Rob -- "Bones heal. Chicks dig scars. And the United States of America has the best doctor-to-daredevil ratio in the world." -Capt. Lance Murdoch

Couldn't it be Joe Harriott? A record called Indo-Jazz Suite, or something like that?

Noetinger and others
by Oger 02 Oct '03

I also honestly recommend "rouge gris bruit" by trio Agnel/Noetinger/Marchetti (Sophie Agnel is a pianist) released on Potlatch label. Jacques Oger Potlatch http://www.potlatch.fr > >So you got the 411 on Sugimoto, can't tell much on Ambarchi and >Dafeldecker but I know JÈrÙme Noetinger a little better. He's the guy >behind Metamkine, which is a distributor/mailorder catalog (I might as >well give them a plug: http://www.metamkine.com/, of course I am not >affiliated with them in any way), a label (with the well known "CinÈma >pour l'Oreille" series of short musique concrËte pieces; their releases >are too numerous to mention but you'll find names like Luc Ferrari, >Michel Chion, MichËle Bokanowski, Bernhard G¸nter, Jim O'Rourke, liane >Radigue, Erik M, Lionel Marchetti or Jean-FranÁois Laporte), and a >group (Cellule d'Intervention Metamkine, with Christophe Auger and >Xavier QuÈrel). > >He plays a lot of improvised shows using electro-acoustic devices, one >of his projects that I really like is his Revox duet with Lionel >Marchetti.
