the Norah Jones album
by Parry Gettelman 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Not all those guys were on all the cuts -- as I recall, several of the tracks came from the earlier, Craig Street version of the album that was largely scrapped for sounding too much like Craig Street's other stuff. I think those are the ones Kenny Wollesen and Tony Scherr played on. If you don't like the single, the rest of it's pretty similar and you probably won't like it. I thought it was a really lovely, hard-to-categorize album, with a bunch of jazz musicians mixing R&B, country and pop until you couldn't really say what to call it. And it sustains an atmosphere really well. I love her version of "Cold, Cold Heart," the phrasing brings out the resignation in the lyrics. I trust you have the Jenny Scheinman album Adam Levy just played on. That's gorgeous. > > > Don't forget that she mentioned Adam Levy too! He's done some great stuff with Trevor Dunn on "Debutantes and Centipedes" as well as Joey Baron. > Are those musicians on her album? Is any of it any good? I certainly don't enjoy that slow, boring single she released. >

Martin Bisi, Frederic Rzewski, Soft Machine articles
by Perfect Sound Forever 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Greetings, Info about the latest issue is below. But first, if you have any interest or knowledge about avant-garde jazz or modern classical music, please see this site for a project I'm working on: <http://www.furious.com/perfect/rockavantproject.html> Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com> you'll find among other things: MARTIN BISI Brooklyn's wolf isn't just a producer/engineer (Sonic Youth/Material)- he steps out on his own now and regales Andy Kaufman with tales of Laswellian collaborations. FREDERIC RZEWSKI Perhaps one of the most committed and political composers of the last few decades, Rzewski is also one of the most thoughtful artists around also, not afraid to be heavily critical of his own genre. Daniel Varela interviews him to find out more. SOFT MACHINE The Early Years- A Pataphysical Introduction. A Canterbury tale where the cream of the British Underground converges, makes sweet music, tours with Hendrix and then fall apart amid debauchery but will gather again to rise later... David Cross explains. SUBTROPICS FESTIVAL You think that Florida is all sunshine and retirement homes? Think again. Some esteemed avant types call this adventurous fest their yearly home. Gary Gomes explores the history and the mystery of the Composer's Alliance that makes this possible and explores why this new music is often neglected. TROPICALIA'S DARK SIDE While many think of this happy, crazed music as a rich source of Brazil's culture, there is some murky history behind it. What about the other music of the time? Where its originators only opportunists? Was this truly the music of Brazil or what was supposed to be heard by the outside world? Alexandre Matias explores these questions and more. We're always looking for new material and good ideas for articles so please let us know if you have any to share.

Television are back!
by Efrén del Valle 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi, In May 23-24 2003, Television will reunite in Barcelona during a pop/rock/eletronica festival. I still don't know about the lineup or if they'll perform any new material, but that's great news indeed! And btw, I think it will be the first of a series of concerts so keep your eyes open... All the best, EfrÃ©n del Valle n.p: Richard Hell & The Voidoids "Blank Generation" ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!

RE: new mike patton?
by Andy Marks 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

I believe he is working on a new Tomahawk album as well as a new Fantomas album (which is supposed to be "ambient" if I remember correctly). I've been wondering about Peeping Tom myself. Last I heard he was shopping around for a major label for it instead of releasing it on Ipecac. -----Original Message----- From: SonataPathetique(a)aol.com [mailto:SonataPathetique@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 8:14 AM To: zorn-list(a)lists.xmission.com Subject: new mike patton? For awhile it seemed like Mike Patton had a new release every 5 minutes. Now it seems strange not to have heard a new release by him in 6 months. I have heard the Peeping Tom demos but its been a couple of years and still no word of a release date. Does anyone know what he is up to?

Digital music files question

26 Feb '03

Hello, a little off topic here, but wondering if someone could help. I just got a hard drive, and I'm planning to transfer some cds onto it. I was wondering if there is a better quality compression format than mp3s. Thanks in advance, Serge _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
