Don't forget that she mentioned Adam Levy too! He's done some great stuff with Trevor Dunn on "Debutantes and Centipedes" as well as Joey Baron. Are those musicians on her album? Is any of it any good? I certainly don't enjoy that slow, boring single she released. zorn-list-request(a)mailman.xmission.com wrote: Message: 10 Reply-To: From: "Steve Smith" To: "Zorn-List (E-mail)" Subject: Who'da thunk?

Lurie Lives!
by Matthew Garrington 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

So John Lurie had a falling-out with the Knitting Factory??? I never hear any of the good gossip. Lurie finally updated his website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was supposedly on some recent episodes of OZ and is preparing to do a new show on IFC called "Are You Comfortable?" Has anyone heard anything about it? I thought Lurie was in a manic phase and that we may never see him again. By the way Efren, that Ribot article was fantastic, and ending on the Lurie note was great. matt garrington --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

dave douglas: freak in
by Fastian＠aol.com 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

>> has anyone picked this up? Care to review it? I know that this band has played around a bit, I am really into what dave did encorporating electronics into witness, I have high hopes for this new album. thanks jt<< I like the cd a lot. Definitely one of his better ones. What to say that Steve hasn't said? It's very rhythmic and driving although there are quieter sections as well. Joey Baron really shines here. Some of the best drumming that I've heard from him in awhile. You get to hear Douglas play a lot of tasty muted trumpet. He's even listed on keyboards although its hard to figure who's playing what. He's probably doing the chordal washes of sound. Douglas's heavily treated voice is heard reading text on one rather short cut. Chris Speed and Seamus Blake play sax on alternate tracks. Speed really adds a lot to the tracks he is on, while you have to really strain to hear sax on the cuts that Blake is on. There's an extra track tacked on at the end of the cd that's not listed that's pretty trippy. Its quite different from "Witness" so its hard to say which is better. I love them both. Douglas is playing Yoshis in Oakland on Monday with the following lineup: Seamus Blake-tenor sax Jamie Saft-Keyboards David Gilmore-guitar Brad Jones-bass Dereck Phillips-drums DJ Olive- turntables Who's Dereck Phillips? Anyone familiar with him? Anyway, it should be a great show. Cheers, John Threadgould
