"Avalon" probably. mmmh, that tasteful sax solo....imo, sometimes when bad things get really, really bad they start being interesting. It's just the in-beetween that annoys. Does anybody dances?

Roxy Music

I totally disagree, I think Roxy Music is one of the great consistant bands. One can argue forever if the later albums are better than the first three -but basically Bryan Ferry is one fantastic artist. His last solo album 'Frantic' is up there with his early stuff. The guitar player you are hearing is Phil Manzanera (is that the correct spelling?). He was and still is amazing. Ciao, -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

"Justin Timberlake proved himself with a series of sublime R & B songs" -- it was in Kelefa Sanneh's review of the "underrated" JC Chasez's debut. He also begins a different review with the phrase "this promising emo band from Long Island ..." which pretty much guaranteed that I would read no further (perhaps one needs to be a Longislander to agree). On the other hand, he says nice things about Kelis (and her ditty "Milkshake," which has become unshakable from my noggin), so Mr. Sanneh hasn't gone off his rocker completely. Phil @ TNT PS: I've also heard that KS is a very nice, smart young man, so this is in no way intended as a dig. Nowadays, I feel like this kind of caveat is necessary on this list!

Leaders
by Andrew Stiffler 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

I'm not sure about leading the band but I collect most everything Han Bennink, Sun Ra, John Lurie, John Zorn and Sabir Mateen have been on. Mostly on cd, not into LP as much at the moment. Easier to listen to discs with children in the house. Well over 250 Zorn recordings at least. It's a lot easier when you discover an artist in the beginning of his/her career than after he/she has recorded for many years. At least on the wallet. Although they are getting many Sun Ra recordings pressed to cd these days. And Lurie hasn't recorded much for a while to my knowledge. Always looking for more Bennink!!!

leading leaders/Sabir Mateen Quintet
by Parry Gettelman 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

The four leaders I've been most completist about: Sun Ra, Monk, Carla Bley, Sam Rivers. Sabir Mateen played a fine show in New Orleans the other night w/ his Quintet -- Raphe Malik, drummer Ravish Momin, bassist/cellist Jane Wang and pianist Raymond King. I had never heard of King before but he' s the one who really blew me away -- never a wasted note, every statement beautifully formed, however choppy or asymmetrical, and when he suddenly broke into stride for a few bars, the whole crowd kind of vibrated with excitement. Apparently he's 75 and has never recorded -- I heard he's from Philadelphia, perhaps Skip can shed some light? Jane Wang was especially cool, too. She really listens and the quirky elegance of her playing was a very interesting contrast to the excitable horns. Hamiett Bluiett was also here this week, but unfortunately, it was another show w/ his old buddy Kidd Jordan -- apparently he won't come down unless it's to play with Kidd. Like last time, there ended up being a lot more Kidd than Hamiett -- not just because Hamiett''s arrival was delayed by fog that shut down the airport, but also once he made the gig, Kidd still pretty much ruled the roost with his usual squalling. Yawn. There was one solo piece by Hamiett that was pretty cool, but the group never gelled at all.

anyone here like Roxy Music, when Fripp & Eno was involved? my friend gave me a mix CD of stuff & there's some amazing & avant-garde guitar happening on it! it's just piano & vocals, with this noise (even Ribot or Haino-esque) guitar going on in the background!! really like this stuff (late 70s I think). but what they became is shit.... :) Andrew np: Ancient Cheese Garage Orchestra - "Bestest Of"

unopened cds and guilty pleasures
by Nudebruno＠aol.com 15 Dec '03

> >> Want to hear something pathetic? Don't ask how many of those titles are > still *shrinkwrapped.* Pah, that's nothing, last week I found myself gift wrapping an unopened mail order purchase and sticking it under the tree as a present to myself, not to be opened before Christmas Day! Be careful Joseph, you are loosing your avant credibility :-). In fact in your top ten, what was really interesting was the fact that they were all mainstream, not even one record that could be called experimental. Mainstream, the new Avant Garde? The "best of" lists have thrown up a few intresting confessions. Anyone else prepared to come clean with a "guilty pleasures" best of? bruno
