Actually what I meant is which store can afford to hire the a Staff as knowledgeable as the crew at DMG. Sorry for the confusion, Lev -------- Lev "Ljova" Zhurbin Please visit my website ==> http://Ljova.com/ for info and many music samples! "Metaphors be with you!" -? > What are you talking about: "Who can afford DMG?" Downtown Music Gallery's prices are extremely reasonable besides the fact that they carry exclusive product you won't find anywhere else (especially in your beloved chainstores), that in many cases comes from and benefits the artists directly. Stores like DMG are essential for keeping a music community alive and they should be supported by all music lovers like the people I suspect are part of this list. I am so thankful that here in Seattle we have Wall of Sound, a store with a similar function as DMG. > Lev 'Ljova' Zhurbin <ljova(a)ljova.com> wrote: > From: Zach Steiner > > Subject: RE: Tower Records > > > > I have seen many record chains closing locations, so I'm sure Tower is > > feeling the economic hard times as well.

tzadik musicians
by Patrick Borsarini 26 Mar '03

26 Mar '03

Reading the squid's ear review of Great Jewish Music: Sasha Argov, I got very interested in knowing what level of influence John Zorn has in selecting musicians for tzadik releases. the review states: [...]The previous double-disc celebrating Burt Bacharach is the best conceived in the series, with Zorn seeming to have played a stronger, or at least more successful, role in selecting the musicians. Tzadik's catalogue is a very consistent one and obviously Zorn cannot be always present, but somehow I always thought that the whole tzadik mechanism had the same imprinting. What do you say...

I was in the Shibuya Tower store back in September, and it was rocking. All 7 or 8 floors of it. Massive selection. They even had an Allan Holdsworth feature section, with cardboard display and everything. In traditional Tower fashion, they slip in recordings of dubious origins. The DVD floor was interesting too. Unfortunately I cant read Japanese... and the people who work there dont speak much English. -Jody

hi all, a friend of mine is looking for the score of john zorn's book of heads. does anyone know if it's possible to buy it? thanks...

Any time now. The Jazz section was beginning to look like a charity shop when I was there 10 days ago. Some great bargains though. Richard Gardner
