the information came from a usually good informed german journalist. Visible for me was the loss of his rasta locks.

two weeks ago I had the pleasure to hear the Taylor-Oxley Duo at the Ulrichsberg festival. It was a great concert in a totally packed concert hall. Some days later I heard that Cecil canceled all following gigs and this was probably his last performance due to cancer. Nice to hear that the Dixon-Taylor reunion took place though the high expectations didnÂ´t come true. What about his 'official' website: www.soundzimpossible.com/ceciltaylor/frame.html apparently doesnÂ´t work any more (moved?)

Zorn on the next Arto Linday record?
by Patrice L. Roussel 22 May '02

I was happily surprised to read that John Zorn is featured on the upcoming new Arto Lindsay record (INVOKE, on Righteous Babe). Can anybody confirm (I guess promos should already be floatting around). Thanks, Patrice.

Victoriaville
by mwoodwor 22 May '02

22 May '02

In response to someone's question about Victoriaville - some of the best shows for me (keep in mind I missed Fred Frith) were (in no particular order) - the Hamid Drake/Gerry Hemingway Duo, William Parker/Peter Kowald Duo, The Necks, Melt-Banana, Annie Gosfield, and Keith Tippet Orchestra. The biggest (and actually only) disapointment by far was the Cecil Taylor/Bill Dixon/Tony Oxley show. I primarily went to the festival to see this and was expecting it to be my number one show, hands down. Unfortunately, something just wasn't right on this night (started feeling a weird vibe when the show was 50 minutes late which is rare for Victoriaville). I'm a huge fan of Bill Dixon, but he just did not seem like he was willing to try and engage with Cecil and just kept breathing/softly blowing/making what I would call 'prolonged ambient trumpet fart sounds' without considering what was going on around him. Unfortunatley, it appeared that Cecil's attempts to communicate/make things happen with Bill, actually lessened his own playing, there was certainly no magic in the air. By no means a bad show, and I suppose someone could say it was a "different" kind of Cecil Taylor gig, but judging from the lukewarm audience response at the end (and believe me everyone was very stoked for the show) I'm not the only one to walk away with this impression. One of the best parts of the show was the approximately 1 1/2 minute solo Cecil did at the very end, and the other good tidbits (where you really felt like something was starting to happen) were when just Cecil and Tony were playing. I think a Cecil/Tony Duo concert and then Bill Dixon solo concert (he did get some great sounds out of his trumpet) afterward would have been a much more enjoyable evening. mike.
