Radical Jewish Culture faves

Both of the Bernsteins are the kind of album I can play over and over in different moods and always find something new -- but I"m partial to the new one w/ Sam Rivers. All the horn-quartet stuff on there is magnificent. The Jenny Scheinman I like immensely, too. I wish I had the whole series because everything I've heard so far I've really enjoyed, including the Frank London "Invocations," New Klezmer Trio "Masks & Faces," Nathanson & Coleman "I COuld Have Been a Drum," Bar Kokhba and esp. the Gainsbourg and Bacharach tributes. Oh, and I second the motion on the Blood & Fire label. That's one of those labels I can just buy anything and know I'll like it. Yabby You "Jesus Dread" and "Morwell Unlimited Meet King Tubby's" are particular favorites of mine. Parry

I just moved from the SF Bay Area back to my home town, Colorado Springs, Colorado. I'm pleased to note that there's more good stuff going on than there was 5 years ago, but still, SF it is not. The difference in living here is that I'm more likely to go see shows that I'm kinda lukewarm about; I had to drive about an hour to get to the really good record stores in SF and Berkeley, and I'll have to drive to Boulder or Denver now. I grew up here & so I've been doing mail order to get good records since I could afford stamps, and now I'm getting a business license and starting my own record biz. And Zach's advice - book shows yourself - is dead-on. The South has some really great music of many stripes, and if you're willing to hustle and/or do some driving, you can have more fun than a broke New Yorker, even if your opportunities are fewer and further between.

Radical Jewish Culture favorites

Hi. What's your five favorite Radical Jweish Culture discs? There is so many, and I still haven't really gotten into much of it, and don't really now where to begin. I like Masada, of course. And the David Gould disc is amazing. Really fits the "RJC" label. Very strong Jewish influence, but still something totally new. At elast to me. What about the recent Rabbinical School Dropouts' "Cosmic Tree" and Frank London's "Scientist at Work"? Those look interesting. And oh so many others... Cheers! _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

John Gordon said: "whenever i tell people i'm a saxophonist the first thing they ask is " do you like kenny g?". fucking a what a lame ass question to ask." There's worse, believe me. When a jazz critic was recently talking to Mr. G about Charlie Parker, the eminent saxophonist insisted that the reason CP got the name "Yardbird" was because he made sounds like a bird on his saxophone. Excellent revisionist history, eh? Best, Jason -- Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine perfect-sound(a)furious.com http://www.perfectsoundforever.com

I don't mean to get into a pissing contest with you, but I live in northeast Mississippi. The key is not to creeb and grotch about your circumstances, but to get the most out of them. Did you go to the Lytton/Lovens/Vandermark concert in Atlanta last month? I'm sure there's all sorts of interesting live music in Georgia, and not just in Atlanta and Athens. As for record stores -- thanks to the magic of UPS and FedEx, Aquarius Records and DMG are as close to my house and your house as they are to Steve Smith's and Fearless Leader Rizzi's. I'd be interested to hear from NYC zornlisters on this. Do you take full advantage of your location and make it Gigsville every night? I think if I tried to, I'd be bankrupt within three months. Welcome to the list, by the way. William Crump

For example, in three weeks I'll be going to Nashville to catch Wilco and Elvis Costello on back-to-back nights at the Ryman Auditorium. Prior to the move I lived in Boston, Miami and Fresno (which didn't exactly have a thriving music scene but was a cultural mecca compared to where I live now, and is close enough to San Francisco that I got my fill of good shows) so my biggest problem was finding the funds and the time to attend all the shows I wanted to see. I tried very very hard to get the school where I work to host a Masada String/Chamber/Quartet concert a couple of years ago, but the committee to which I belong lost interest after seeing the cost estimates and equipment demands.
