--------------- I think it is said somewhere in the biography "Transformer" that Lou Reed was born from a Jewish mother. Since his music is so personal, I believe Zorn & Co. could be the right musicians to re-arrange it and make it last in time as instrumental. He really deserves it.

RE:Lajko (and Ferus)

Well, Lajko is part of the Hungarian minority that lives in Vojvodina,Northern Serbia. I met him once and he is great to chat with. It is interesting that all he ever does is improvise and that sounds amazing. His solo stuff is fantastic and it sounds more classical violin rather than hungarian folk violin. Also worth checking is some projects he did with Boris Kovac. Another great musician is Ferus Mustafov (Ferus the King) for whom I know that Dave Douglas loves his work. Has anyone heard of Ferus Mustafov? Best Nenad

bolan rules and where the hell is Lurie
by Matthew Garrington 09 Oct '02

For the record, I must say that Marc Bolan is a glam rock genius (as far as glam rock geniuses go that is). The tribute album is worth getting, but not as cool as the original glam. Also, where the hell is Lurie. He must be depressed or something. I believe I remember seeing his name somewhere on some new movie soundtrack somewhere. Don't remember where. _____________________________________________________________"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty." - Benjamin Franklin____________________________________________________________ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Seems odd, unless there was a conversion at some point or >another. I didn't know that Gainsbourg was. But if Reed is not, that might at least explain why the album never happened. Too bad though. Yamatska Eye has said in the past that he would love to do a cover of "Metal Machine Music" and I guess this, if anything, might be the occasion. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

RJC etc
by Peter Gannushkin 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Hello All, My favorite ones are: - Both Wolf Krakowski CDs - All three Coleman's Sephardic Tinge, Roberto - Juan Rodriguez "El Danzon de Moises" (I liked it much more after I saw them live) - Both Erik Friedlander CDs, but "The Watchman" is the better one - Davka "Lavy's Dream" - Both Satlah CDs - Frank London "Invocations" - Jamie Saft "Sovlanut" - Steven Bernstein "Diaspora Soul" - Marty Ehrlich "Sojourn" - Both John Zorn double CDs - Kletka Red "Hijacking" It looks like a long list, but almost all of the albums in RJC are at least interesting. Speaking about future GJM compilations, I don't have any idea what Zorn is going to put next if he even has any such plans, but what I know that he is preparing the 10th anniversary Masada tribute. Don't know who will be on this CD except MMW, who will definitely contribute one track. The other Zorn's active project is Electric Masada. Hopefully, he will record them sometime soon. And, at last, as far as I know, the man is preparing an album with female vocalists. Jennifer Charles should be one of them. No any other detail though.

>And no idea about the marc bolan tribute, do you know it and how is it ?? Haven't heard it, but as far as I remember hardly anyone here on the list enjoyed much of it, apart from the Mike Patton and Arto Lindsay tracks. I think the other two tribute albums are generally thought of to be much better. Anybody heard of a new "GJM" tribute comming out? I remember, waaaayy back, somebody mentioned a possible Lou Reed one, but perhaps it was just wishful thinking. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

ornithology and territory
by Crowmeat Bob 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Olivier Messiaen was really down with bird calls, too. He spent a good deal of time and energy recording and transcribing birdsongs from around the world and using them as compositional tropes (the 'Turangalila' symphony and the piano works are good examples). There's a great section in Deleuze/Guattari's 'A Thousand Plateaus' about Messiaen, bird calls and territorialization. One interesting thing there that pertains directly to Dolphy and jazz/improv in general is the investigation of certain species (I think the chaffinch was the primary example) that riff off of other calls they hear in an improvisatory fashion. I often think of improvisation as staking out aural territories through building off of existing sounds/tropes. (Zorn is a master of de/re-territorialization). --crowmeat bob >From: mr.dave(a)attbi.com >To: skip Heller <velaires(a)earthlink.net> >CC: Zorn-List <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com>, <perfect-sound(a)furious.com> >Subject: Re: Kenny G >Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2002 17:13:19 +0000 > >Actually, and this is from the April 21, 1962 issue of >Down Beat, the reviewer is relating a conversation he >had with Dolphy: > >"He described how bird calls had been recorded and then >slowed down in playback; the bird calls had a timbre >similar to a flute.

Re: What the hell happened to John Lurie?

Wasn't 1999's Marvin Pontiac album the last thing released by Lurie? As far as I know, Lurie didn't perform any live gigs to support the album's release. Too bad, too, as it could have done very well with the right kind of exposure. tom In a message dated 10/9/02 9:17:13 AM Eastern Daylight Time, TimBlechmann(a)gmx.net writes: > well, i haven't heard of any john lurie gig since 1998. the last lounge > lizards cd was "queen of all ears". i don't know for sure, but i think > it was released in 1997 or 1998. > > but some times ago i read about a european tour for 2003. it was on > the website of a booking agency, but i can't remember the url... > > but maybe someone else knows more about what he was doing in the last > few years... > > Tim mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.net > ICQ: 96771783 > http://www.nyds-exp-discogs.tk > np: akosh s.: lenne (universal) > lounge lizards: no pain for cakes (antilles) > polwechsel + fennesz: wrapped islands (erstwhile) > mimeo + john tilbury: the hands of caravaggio (erstwhile) > poire_z: + (erstwhile) > -- > The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, > mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, > the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, > burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across > the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and > everybody goes "Awww!" > Jack Kerouac > > > > ______________________________________________________ Discs I'm listening to at work: Elvis Costello Glastonbury Festival 6/20/87 Bruce Springsteen 12/8/01 Golden Smog -- Keys and Filler
