Re: new Bobby Previte?

This has to be a reissue of one of his two dates recorded in Warsaw a long time ago for Polish jazz magazine Jazz a Go-Go; there was one with an Empty Suits band and one with a version of Weather Clear, Track Fast. I've got both, thanks to Marcin Gokieli, long, long ago. I noticed several of those sessions suddenly popping up in the new Cadence; my hunch is that this is not actually the Dutch "A Records" label but simply a silly Cadence goof... all of those Jazz a Go-Go discs had catalog numbers that started with the letter "A." In this case, judging by the pairings, what you're seeing is probably none other than entry number 082 on your own Previte discography, which is the Weather Clear, Track Fast session. Keep an eye out for the other one with Empty Suits; it's a great set, far superior to the studio album, though of course it's only half a disc.

So these are mine! With 20+ years behind them, getting into SY takes some investment. As well as the above (yup, 'NYC Ghosts & Flowers' is a killer), the GREAT trilogy is the mid-80s sequence of 'Evol' (1986), 'Sister' (87) and 'Daydream Nation' (88). For me these are SY at their finest - amazing guitar reinventions, spooked, paranoid and surreal lyrics, songs crumbling into sprawling noise improvisations. I think these are due to come out in revised/remastered editions through Universal pretty soon. And I have totally fallen in love with Murray Street, especially "Disconnection Notice". Even SY's 'straighter' songs refuse to lie completely flat. They seem to have fallen into a pattern of saving the more songish, rocking material for the Geffen albums while using their SYR indie label as a depository for their more whacked out experimenta; impulses, including the fascinating double 'Goodbye 20th Century', which has got a load of Fluxus/chance operations/avant garde composition pieces on it and guests like William Winant, Christian Wolff and Ikue Mori. If anyone gets a chance to see them on their current Euro tour, they're performing a set that mixes new stuff with revisitations of 'Kotton Krown', 'Candle', 'Kissability', etc. And now: the Zorn content: does anyone in the UK remember the ITV 'South Bank Show' documentary on JZ and Sonic Youth (two separate half hour films)? Those were the days, eh?

It's very song oriented, which is somewhat unusual for SY. Though the songs are distinctly SY. Though "noisy" Murray Street isn't as abrassive in it's noise as even the pretty poppy Dirty, IMHO. It's also short on the experimentation that has been common in the past. There are almost some tracks that I could almost see played on the radio, which doesn't seem quite normal for SY. I would like to know what others think on this matter. Overall, I think it's a very strong release, but not SY at their best. > > Zach Well stated. I pretty much feel the same way about it after listening to it about 5 or 6 times now. I'd add though that I find it does take a while for their albums to sink in, especially the last few ones. I've been a fan for a while so it's hard to totally discount what they do. Can't say I agree with the Pitchfork review though the writer takes an interesting tack in describing different kinds of SY fans. I remember some other discussions (maybe on the this list?) saying that you can't expect bands like SY (or Yo La Tengo for instance) to keep making the angry, noise-fests that they used to in their early days. I would be really disappointed with them if they kept remaking EVOL or SISTER or DAYDREAM NATION (though those are great albums). If you've made your peace with the songful direction they've taken over the course of their last few records, you'll definitely like this latest one.

Hello. >Derek Bailey - Pieces For Guitar (...) >Blimey! Wonder how Zorn got Bailey to let these be put out? If they were >any good wouldn't DB have put them out on Incus ages ago? No, he wouldn't. This is from the Incus homepage: "The Incus vaults hold many so far unissued tapes and videos but its not known when, if ever, they might appear. Our preference is for new or recent recordings and there are usually too many of these in the pipeline to allow us time for rummaging around in the archives."
