i'm looking for some info on a London venue. i'm listening to jason lindner's live:UK right now (it's fantastic so far), and it was recorded at a place called the pizza express. as an american, it sounds like they landed a gig at a less-than-coveted food court. is this an actual jazz/music venue with a really bad name or a fast-food joint? thanks, sean

NZC: sympathies
by William W. Schonbein 12 Mar '04

12 Mar '04

I hope the following is not inappropriate for this list; one of the benefits of the internet (and of music) is the sense of community that transcends traditional boundaries. With that in mind, I suspect I speak for a number of members of this list when I say that, given the recent tragic events transpiring in Madrid, my sympathies (and concern) go out to members of this list who reside in Spain. Let us hope that the emotional (and otherwise) repercussions from these events can be channeled in a positive way. -whit

Re: What Is Music? festival, Sydney.

"Andrew Mortensen" <andrewm(a)mail.selc.com.au> > did any Aussies go to What Is Music in Feb? > anyone see Merzbow? I heard he's 'quietening down' a bit now.... like > 'soft' > noise, like some parts of Maldoror. Can't say I've heard Maldoror. But I saw Merzbow at the Sydney show and thought he was pretty good, though appeared to be completely disinterested with the idea of playing. Then again, he could well have been just checking his email - two Macs (one with Frog sticker), a mixer and headphones was pretty much the setup. He whacked out about fifty minutes of noise that was marked by an absence - for the most part - of high-frequency tones. This was largely gut-rumbling, and pretty textural; less white-noise and more filigreed, if that makes sense. Possibly a bit like some of the stuff off Mezzrow, I'd say, though less beat-driven, maybe. Certainly, it was _ok_, and kinda cool to actually see the guy, but nothing earthshattering. I tended to notice that sitting through the gig (well, standing, but hey) took more effort than the CDs - it was more of an assault, possibly due to the sheer volume of the music. But that didn't stop the tripper kids down the front, who ended up cradling blocks of wood and playing the invisible sax in time with his output... L

recent interview with Michael Haneke mentions Zorn
by Miller, James Andrew (UMC-Student) 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Zorl-listers: I just came across this interview with Austrian director Michael Haneke (Seventh Continent, Code Unknown, La Pianiste, Funny Games): www.kinoeye.org/04/01/interview01.php There is a fairly detailed discussion of the use of Zorn's Naked City in Funny Games. Haneke's comments are illuminating... Andy

Got a fast connection and a few minutes to kill? Check out http://www.epitonic.com/artists/peterbrotzmann.html and download the MP3 sample of "Machine Gun". Now, I haven't heard Fuck De Boere, and I'm not *that* familiar with Brotzmann's work, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the first 5-10 minutes of the file that I've downloaded isn't actually "Machine Gun" (and that maybe, just maybe, the last part is). So what am I listening to? Anybody...? -me

Re: Tzadik rhetoric / MST/ Zorn as conductor?
by Matthew Garrington 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

I didn't see this particular MST show, but I was lucky enough to see Masada, MST & the Barkokhba sextet at the Symphony Space in 2000. Zorn was quite involved as a conductor, and his presence was really felt on stage. For instance, some solos were more spontaneous and occurred at Zorn's direction. Also, he would instruct different musicians to get louder and others to get softer during the performance. Often times, songs would not end until Zorn gave the proper signals. So, again, he definitely makes himself known, but Zorn's been quoted a lot about how the improviser and their relationship with the conductor is extremely important to his compositions. Cheers, Matt --- zorn-list-request(a)mailman.xmission.com wrote: Message: 3 Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 14:01:45 +0000 From: julian.hughes(a)examiner.co.uk Just got hold of Masada String Trio (50th anniversary vol.1) and I'm delighted to say that, although the Tzadik rhetoric is no longer to be relied on, this release is everything that's claimed - and more! The fact that it opens with my two favourite Masada tunes obviously helps, but the playing throughout is inspired and yes, "breathtaking". (The packaging is great too - I much prefer digipacks to jewel cases, but each to his/her own!) Could anyone who was there on the night say what Zorn's input as conductor actually amounted to?
