i went to a rova show a few months back (improvising
with nels cline and some others) here in sf. the
drummer's name was ches smith... he looked really
young and impressed the shit out of me :)
he's in a band called theory of ruin i haven't heard
at all. i also recognized him from the cobra
performance in sf earlier this year.
does anyone know anything else about him? any good
cds to check out?
thanks,
kim

Try Han Bennink ian any Clusone 3 album (hatology and grammavision)
with Myra Melford in "Eleven Ghosts" (Hat Hut) and with Ray Anderson and
Christy Doran in "Azurety" and "Cheer Up" (Hat Art)
Simon Calle
Any early Ronald Shannon Jackson/Decoding Society album is bliss (plus
there's Vernon Reid there too). "Drums of Death" (recorded in Ghana, on
Avant) is definitely worth hearing- a shame that none of the musicians were
credited though. "Yoruba Drums From Benin, West Africa" on Smithsonian is
pretty good also.
Best,
Jason

Strange, I saw the same band in Porland and was at no moment compelled to
really listen to the drummer. I found both the drummer and the bass player
to be in the "meet-the-requirement" category (you would notice them if they
stopped playing, but besides that, they failed in my opinion to bring
sparks or imagination to the performance).

Hello all,
Quite a few people have mentioned John McEntire and I totally agree with
you. But I think Johnny Herndon also deserves a mention as an equally good
drummer. Just listen to any Isotope 217 disc.
I also second anything by Jim Black and Joey Baron (I especially like his
playing on 'Tucuma' by Vinicius Cantuaria).
For 'stop-on-a-dime' drumming I'd recommend:-
- Fantomas ~ The Director's Cut
- Ruins ~ Mandala 2000
Top drumming on my CD player at the moment comes courtesy of Paal
Nilssen-Love on the Scorch Trio album on Rune Grammofon.
And although I think the remit was records with great drumming, 2 drummers
who've really impressed me in concerts over the last couple of years are:-
- Chad Taylor (Chicago Underground Duo) because he plays great drums and
vibraphone/xylophone at the same time!
- Tony Buck (The Necks) for keeping a regular pulse going for an hour at a
time whilst dropping in some subtle nuances.
That's my tuppence worth anyway.
Dave.

I've noticed quite a bit of fascination with ritual amongst avant-garde
artists; both an interest in traditional rituals from other cultures or
the creation of their own rituals. Is this merely a coincidence or is
there a reason behind this? It seems odd that artists so intent on
breaking from/breaking down existing forms of artistic expression would
have such an attraction to certain traditions.

I've recently gotten into Coltrane and I had a
couple of questions:
a.) Did Coltrane do any "noise" music? Did he ever
make the sax scream like Zorn, and if so, on which
release?
b.) What did he die from?
E-mail me privately, thanks in advance...
