by jason tors 09 Jul '02

09 Jul '02

hello all in nyc, did anyone go see dave douglas at tonic over the weekend that would care to review? it was Brad Jones (bass), Ikue Mori (drum machine / power book), DJ Olive (turntables), Jamie Saft (keyboard), Mike Sarin (drums) & Chris Speed (tenor sax / clarinet) and the feel was very electronic and textural, but I cant get anymore info out of my informer. Please fill us in. Also jim black+chris speed played with their band Human Feel at tonic this weekend as well, any reviews of that would be greatly appreciated.

HI, > > Oh God, no. In my opinion this is the worst possible > introduction. Like > Patrice said, this project totally got out of Ikue's > controll and she > doesn't fit in at all.

A total failure considering who the signatories are. > Having said that, I generally think Ikue rules. Try > the second Death Ambient > CD on tzadik for a good intruduction. Absolutely. I haven't checked the first one but "Synaesthesia" is one of my favorite Tzadik releases by far. A great mixture of ambient created with "real" instruments courtesy of Fred Frith's unorthodox techniques plus the electronic environment of Ms. Mori and lavish doses of tasteful noise. Don't miss it. > > However, if you are a Ribot or Quine fan, "Painted > Desert" is a must! Had it > been Cyro Baptista or perhaps Joey Baron on > percussion this would be one of > the coolest albums of all time. The guitars still sound boring to me, although Ribot is one of my faves. Not much substance in there by any involved parties! If I'm not wrong, nobody mentioned Mori's "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" on Tzadik with a great ensemble: Friedlander, Anthony Coleman, Eyvind Kang, Kato Hideki, Makigami Koichi and Mori herself. Great performances, strong compositions, beautiful melodies, ambient-oriented soundscapes, noisier passages, some Japanese folk influence (I sense it, could be unexistant though),... Again, one of my favorite Tzadiks. Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle n.p: Death Ambient "Synaesthesia" _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print > your photos: > http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > > > _______________________________________________ > zorn-list mailing list > zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com > To UNSUBSCRIBE or Change Your Subscription Options, > go to the webpage below > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zorn-list _______________________________________________________________ Copa del Mundo de la FIFA 2002 El Ãºnico lugar de Internet con vÃdeos de los 64 partidos.

dear andrew, crackin up laughing from your ininhibited answer... i did once feel she was totally useless- and then id heard a few live things where she actually used more than one sound and LISTENED to her partners. to my friend who talk about her range of sounds, i don't hear what you hear. i still love you. what's interesting to me are the truly high quality players- jim staley for example- who play with her. i wonder if its a social thing. BUT MORE IMPORTANT: dont just name cex as good- give info! recommend stuff, explain cex' work- and id be grateful steve koenig n.p. folktales#3- dan washburton- disc2 (3x#3") crouton records. super!

mellow Tzadik releases
by David Keffer 08 Jul '02

>From: Tim Blechmann <TimBlechmann(a)gmx.net> >i need some recommendations! i am sometimes working for a record store >and i need some recommendations which tzadik cds i can play in the >store. some kind of easy listening tzadik. My favorite Tzadik release is "Patterns of Plants" by Mamoru Fujieda. It is mellow and would probably fits your criteria. But his other (earlier) release on Tzadik isn't worth listening to once you have heard "Patterns of Plants". Other mellow (and good, not just mellow) Tzadik releases "Redbird" by John Zorn "Ballads" by Derek Bailey David K. N.P.: Evan Parker & George Lewis "From Saxophone & Trombone" (Incus)

tzadik for lovers

Hi group, i need some recommendations! i am sometimes working for a record store and i need some recommendations which tzadik cds i can play in the store. some kind of easy listening tzadik. i figured out that you can play zorn's "the gift", steven bernstein's "diaspora soul" and all the tim sparks recordings. i need music that isn't too difficult to listen to... if you know any further "tzadik for lovers" discs, please let me know... Tim mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.net ICQ: 96771783 http://www.nyds-exp-discogs.tk -- 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!"

Always liked there stuff. They were blessed with a most unfortunate name, for in their later years their sound was quite accessible, but the image got in the way. The Beach Boys also picked a name that didn't allow them to grow....
