John Lurie - Fishing With John ( question?)
by Stuart Boyer 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

np: John Lurie - Fishing With John (Strange & Beautiful) Hello Andreas and other listers, might anyone know if this series ever made it to DVD ? I can't remember what network it initially aired on. Was it Bravo or IFC ? I like to listen to the CD but I never really got to see any of the episodes on Cable. Thanks, Stuart

Atlantic Center and Zorn
by James Taylor Frost 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Hey did you all see that Zorn will be at Atlantic Center for the Arts in March 2004? I checked out the web site and it looks interesting. He wants to work with players for the "residency" and perhaps record some work that will be put out on his label later in the year. Email program(a)atlanticcenterfrothearts.org for more info. Sounds cool - pass along to friends if you any that might be interested. I think the application deadline is December 1.

Tim Berne - Science Friction
by Richard Gardner 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Tim Berne and Science Friction together with the Arte Saxophone Quartett and David Torn played Exeter UK last night. It was a great evening. It started with Berne, Ducret (on acoustic guitar) and the quartet playing Quicksand then they were joined by Craig Taborn, Tom Rainey and David Torn for a special commission from the BBC called Untitled (Still) "How pretentious, now that I've said it out loud!" The second half began with a saxophone quartet piece and ended with a long improv/medley of Science Friction with Torn. Torn played far more guitar than I expected and was less involved with shaping the whole band sound. He spent most of the time adding atmospheric guitar parts with occasional treatments of the quartet. He was quite content to leave the actual guitar leads to Ducret who was ripping it up like a bastard child of David Fiuczynski and Derek Bailey. Anybody on the list who can make LONDON Queen Elizabeth Hall tonight; OXFORD Thurs; HUDDERSFIELD Friday or BIRMINGHAM Saturday make the effort, you won't regret it. Too bad that they were blown out by a promoter for the Manchester gig on Monday night. Richard Gardner

Atlantic Center for the Arts/Abaton
by Parry Gettelman 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Atlantic Center for the Arts is a lovely place, way back in the woods but not too far from the beaches (it's in New Smyrna Beach, hard by Daytona Beach but with a much less touristy, hectic flavor -- a lot of the beach places seem to be weekend retreats for Central Floridians and I even knew a few people who would commute to Orlando during the summer). I saw a couple marvelous shows there while I lived in Orlando -- Margaret Leng Tan and Cecil Taylor, although Cecil was in a bit of a mood, he played much longer and more expansively in Orlando the previous night. The public performances can get kind of an odd mix of people, including locals trying desperately to be cultured, and it seemed as though Cecil just didn't think they were feeling him, although his abrupt departure might have been more a matter of treating the provincials to some unexpected drama.... The Relache Ensemble from Philly has done a couple residencies there, I think. Abaton played a tremendous show here in New Orleans at the Contemporary Arts Center the other night. The crowd seemed to be kind of a mix of the usual avant-garde goers, classical music types and teens who'd just seen the trio at NOCCA (the performing arts high school). Everybody was absolutely enthralled -- Mark Feldman seemed quite touched by the extent and intensity of the applause. He and Erik Friedlander were so magnificent together, I dug Abaton even more than Sylvie Courvoiser's other group that played here, Mephista, which I loved. The new double CD release is beautiful, too, but the live experience was especially remarkable -- I don't think I've ever seen three musicians watch each other so closely or listen to each other so intently. Of course, if Feldman and Friedlander didn't watch each other closely in some of the more intricate parts of Courvoisier's compositions, somebody could lose a limb...... It was also fun watching a teenage piano student next to me watch Courvoisier, at first he had this expression like "She's just plunking around inside the piano and playing weird chords," but then his jaw started dropping.

ibrahim abdullah recs
by mwisckol＠ocregister.com 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

i too am totally charmed by abdullah ibrahim and had the good fortune to see him a couple of months ago after more than 20 years of listening to his recordings. gig featured his trio in the first half, a local (L.A.) chamber ensemble/mini-orchestra with the trio the second half. like his most recent CD (african magic, i think it's called), the concert had a lot of nice little moments but not the sustained bounce and wonder of his best work. nonetheless, he had a spiritual presence the emanated. i second his work by the ekaya band, with "water from an ancient well" a worthy example. and the one called "ekaya" -- hard to find, but my favorite of the bunch. (i've been searching for a OOP duet LP of ibrahim and carlos ward -- don't know the title -- but if anybody has it, i'd eagerly burn a CD from my Ekaya LP -- in excellent condition -- in swap for a burn of the duet.) my introduction to ibrahim was an ECM/JAPO under his birth name of Dollar Brand, called "African Piano." solo piano, lots of rolling ostinatos, lots of bouyant and melodic improvisations. exceedingly pleasant. kinda short, like 35 mins. readily available on CD. martin

by Rich Ladew 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Thanks Herb for the heads up! Did anyone see the requirements for musicians applying for places during his residency? Check out www.atlanticcenterforthearts.org/aristsnresprog/residencysched/mar/j_zor n.htm Also has anyone checked out the El-P 10" on Thirsty Ear? I must have missed it when it initially came out! Hope there is a full length in the works.... Rich Ladew r.richardladew(a)comcast.net
