Hello. >>Seiichi Yamamoto has a lot of side projects during these years. >I'm not sure where the guy lives, but here in Osaka, he seems to get >the call to play along with almost every interesting musician who >cruises through town Yes, he lives in Osaka. >he was one of the opening acts when Han Bennink played in >Kyoto in May Did you see the Yamamoto/Bennink show? I'm very curious about that one. I hope one day Bennink will release a CD with some of his meetigns with Japanese musicians, like Yamamoto, Otomo and so on. But little chance of that; i suppose. > My personal favourite over the last year or so has been his new >band with Phew, MOST... fast, spunky punk stuff that was limited to >hell and back during mastering, making their one album so far easily >the loudest-sounding CD I own. That sounds pretty cool. Who else is in this band? > > As to EYE, I think he is more interested in being a DJ now. >Unfortunately. I had never been in pain as the result of a DJ set >before the Bennink show, but Eye apparently wanted to kill the >audience that night... the sounds of trees being cut down were >cranked out over the PA for about half an hour, and every time the >wood splintered, the volume was cranked up to the point where it >actually *hurt* my ears. I believe I muttered the word "asshole" >several times during that set. Wauw! That sounds pretty cool.

With due respect, this party line b.s. about trane is so boring. shades of freakin' saxophone master class. His last years are full of great music from everyone in the group. Go back and listen some more (Expression, Interstellar space, Stellar regions, Olatunji Center, to name four........and Live In Japan). What is so unstable about the personnel in his last group? The only unstable thing is that Trane himself passed away. (so, okay, some people sat in.) An equally convincing case can be made that it was a monumental achievement for the group to maintain its identity amidst the guest appearances--which are limited on record (basically) to percussionists, don garrett, and the ascension date. Looked at over the long term...was Ra's personnel any less unstable? Besides the core, there was quite a revolving door much of the time. Trane's side-people's playing in 66/67 is greatly underrated. Look for John Schott's forthcoming book, entitled "John and Alice Coltrane" to rectify this.

Filmworks 13! I haven't heard 11 and 12 yet!

>From Tzadik September releases. Does he never sleep? John Zorn: Filmworks XIII: Invitation To A Suicide 2002 proves to be a watershed year for Zorn, with this being his fifth film score in three months. Here, a taste of Ennio Morricone, Astor Piazzola, French musette and Nino Rota make up what is perhaps his greatest film score to date. At times bizarre, haunting, exhilarating and powerful, the lush sonorities of this dynamic group will surprise you as much as it did Zorn himself. A romantic new lyricism. A remarkable new direction. Unexpected, inevitable and absolutely essential. -- Personalised email by http://another.com

the first one i got remains my favorite: birthing chair blues on kfw. just great. as i've explored her other projects, i've been less excited (pale nudes, ec nudes, the danubians), but friends of mine certainly love them. she's been hawking cdrs of late. i got a couple at a show at tonic last spring. reallly nice duet with eyvind kang. they're on her website, but unfort i don't have the url. billy tipton sax quartet are also a lot of fun, although not really indicative of what she's about... _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
