Hi Doron, If you want Japanese stuff (I presume you mean Improvised Music from Japan releases) then go to Sound 323. They are very close to Highgate tube station. The website is http://www.web-malls.net/sound323/ If you should find yourself on Oxford Street (though best avoided in the run-up to Christmas) then have a wonder down Berwick Street, there a few good shops down there.

Skip >And those Counce records are dazzling. Glad to see I'm not the only one >who >owns 'em. Thanks to my local public library, those Curtis Counce (or at least ONE of those Curtis Counce albums) was one of the first things I heard (and DUG!) when I was in 8th grade and trying to educate myself about 'jazz'. Also there: Charles Mingus - ? (some two-fer on Impulse that had basically all of Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and Mingusx5 with a track or two from the solo piano album tagged on. Changed my life and made me Silver Spring's biggest Mingus fan) John Coltrane - Ascension (didn't know what to think of it, but I kept checking it out over and over again and playing it - hey, I was only 14 years old!) Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz (ditto) Bless the libraries. Steve

2003 Top 10 Revision
by keffer＠planetc.com 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

I have to add to my 2003 top 10 (which it now appears I posted prematurely) the new Unearthed Box by the late Johnny Cash on American Recordings. It's a 5 CD + book + box set. From 1994 to 2003, Cash recorded many songs for Rick Rubin's American Recordings label. (Something like 100 songs were recorded for the first album, of which a dozen or so actually made it to the album.) Four albums were released and it appears a fifth is forthcoming. This box set contains 4 cds (64 songs) of previously unreleased recordings from this time period, deemed for whatever reason or another not appropriate for a straight-out release but okay for a boxed-set. A few of the songs are alternate takes but the vast majority are new songs. 1 of these 4 discs is all gospel songs. The use of gospel here means simply "religiously themed" songs, as opposed to a particular style of music. This disc is strictly solo Cash, guitar and vocals, no backing musicians, and no delightfully toe-tappingly catchy Nine-Inch-Nails covers. On this single disc alone (which is all I have listened to at this point) this release makes the top 10 list. By the way, the fifth disc in this box is a compilation of selected songs from the previous four albums on American Recordings. David K. p.s. All the early Cash records on American Recordings were available on vinyl or cd. It appears that this box set is only available on cd.

Re: film noir - spillane - any favorites
by nicola negri 19 Dec '03

hello about the "hard-boiled" school of writers i admit that i know only the classics, and my favourites are Dashiell Hammett (a gifted writer and a great story teller. i love all his books but "Red Harvest" is my favourite one) and Raymond Chandler (especially "Farewell, My Lovely " and "The Lady In The Lake"). as i said my knowledge in this field is limited, it seems to me that Skip Heller can tell us much more about it, read his previous post on the subject, he gave me precious indications on future readings.. about Mickey Spillane, well, i like reading his books, i think he created a genre of his own, BUT most of the time his misogynous and macho attitude is a little annoying to me.. talking about "film noir", well there are lots of movies i love, but the best noir films ever for me are: - The Maltese Falcon (1941) - John Huston (the film traditionally regarded as the progenitor of noir cinema) - Detour (1945) - Edgar G. Ulmer (the film that took fatalism, one of the defining aspects of film noir, at its highest degree) - Out of the Past (aka Build My Gallows High) (1947) - Jacques Tourneur (for me this is THE classic film noir, the cinematography is by the master of shadows, Nicholas Musuraca) - Gun Crazy (aka Deadly Is The Female) (1949) - Joseph H. Lewis (ever heard the term "femme fatale"?) - The Big Heat (1953) - Fritz Lang (incredibly modern and harsh for its age; with one of Lee Marvin's first appearances) - Kiss Me Deadly (1955) - Robert Aldrich (super-modern and stylistically gorgeous film) - The Night of the Hunter (1955) - Charles Laughton (a different pont of view on noir, a timeless masterpiece) - The Killing (1956)- Stanley Kubrick (Kubrick's second (!) film; one of the best constructed movies of all time) - Touch Of Evil (1958) - Orson Welles (in my opinion Welles's real masterpiece, simply astonishing) - Blast Of Silence (1961) - Allen Baron (an unknown masterpiece, a Dostoevskijan film noir) these are only (some of) my favourite ones, but many others are great masterpieces and classic noirs. i'm thinking about: The Big Sleep, In a Lonely Place, Double Indemnity, The Stranger, Scarlet Street, Sunset Boulevard, The Third Man, The Asphalt Jungle, The Lady from Shanghai.. an historical note for anyone interested: the term "film noir" was first used in 1955 by Borde and Chaumeton in their book "Panorama du Film Noir AmÃ©ricain", the first critical essay on film noir and the only one actually written during this genre's golden age (traditionally 1941-1958). hope this post will be of any interest to the list, i'd like to see more on the subject. bye nic ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Bacharach attack
by Oppenheim, Phil 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

So I'm flipping through a Time magazine at the Honda service waiting room, and I come across this comment in Josh Tyrangiel's review of a crop of "standards" albums ... "Rather than fit his classic R+B voice into the dull formalism of Burt Bacharach's songs, Ronald Isley spirits away the songwriter's greatest hits to slow jam land ..." (all of which is intended as compliment to Isley; that said, I think I'll probably pick up the album) Is there some kind of neo-anti-Bacharach backlash that I missed somewhere along the way?
