Carla Bley albums
by Parry Gettelman 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Three of my favorites are from the '70s, "Dinner Music," "European Tour" and esp. "Musique Mechanique," which has one of my favorite big-band pieces by anybody, "440." Just sparkling compositions and arrangements, and some of my favorite players. Roswell Rudd and Bob Stewart are on all three, Terry Adams (of NRBQ infamy) and Gary Windo are on "European Tour" and "Musique Mecanique." "European Tour also has Andrew Cyrille, and "Musique Mecanique" has Eugene Chadbourne, Steve Swallow and Charlie Haden. And "Musique Mecanique" features not one but two french horns .(I wonder if Gary Clark and John Clark are brothers from some kind of french horn dynasty? Looking up Gary Clark on allmusic.com, one finds he has also written songs for Natalie Imbruglia and Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys. I love allmusic.com, but it gets pretty funny when two musicians have the same name). I also esp. like "The Very Big Carla Bley Band," from 1991 (here's a great song title -- "Strange Arrangement"), and "Songs with Legs," a 1995 live-in-Europe trio release w/ Steve Swallow and Andy Sheppard, which has an interesting, bluesy version of Monk's "Misterioso." Steer away from "Night Glo," which is way too smooth and background-y. One of those "what were they thinking?" albums.

The ongoing mit gas controversy
by Craig Lieske 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Fair enough, I can understand people not liking the Mit Gas CD, but has anybody actually heard the Foo Fighters new CD? I've heard it, I don't like it, and I can't say that it sounds anything like Tomahawk.

Well, put. Last year, I tried to rope a friend into going up to Chicago to see Tomahawk. I played a few cuts off of the first album for a friend. All she said was "Zach, that scares me." I was taken aback by that reaction. Sure I would have expected that from Naked City or even Bungle, but Tomahawk! The concert was fun and every one with me was very impressed with Patton. This was everyone's first exposure to Patton. His presence is really awe inspiring and that voice!

Re: Cale covers

Interesting that you mention his drinking? It sounded as if he was a tad lit at the beginning of "Fragments of a Rainy Season." During the first part of the set, his words sounded very slurred and became much clearer towards the end of the set as he sobered up(?). However, his piano playing didn't seem to be effected: casting doubt on the theory. Has he been known to partake of rock star excesses in substances? I always got the impression that all the craziness seen from him tended to be the acts of a sober man (albeit a slightly crazy one).

Re: John Cale

Is Cale often covered at all? I wouldn't be surprised if his songs weren't. It brings up his percarious position between mainstream and avant-garde. His music is too weird for a pop singer to cover (ie Sinatra) and just not out there enough for a avant-garde group to take on. They both miss out; he writes some really killer songs--which comes to fore on Fragments of a Rainy Season. Any song (or artist, for that matter) that can stand up in such a spare arrangement, has to be good.
