I think it's just because the concerts were just so much better than he'd imagined that he couldn't dare to believe his luck that they had been accurately captured, as well. Certainly no malice towards the radio station in question.

I heard it is Mike Patton on vocals. Those guys are so good they probably only need an afternoon to reherse.

I attended only the preceding evening, where ROVA plus Yoshihide, Ikue Mori, and nels Cline performed Lacy's Saxophone Special. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. Not sure I can provide a helpful review... To my ears success was aided by the instrumental balance of 4 saxes against three non-saxophonists. Each non-saxophonist had their own distinct sonic palette. The audio balance in the room was excellent, thanks to sound-guy myles boisen and a thorough pre-show sound check. The Lacy themes were a joy to (re)hear.....ROVA's interaction with themselves and the guests was spirited and almost never tentative. ROVA and the others used their longstanding set of handsignals to nudge the proceedings along. Yoshihide was using early ROVA albums in some of his turntable maneuvers.....nels enlisted his full-blown arsenal from toys to old delay boxes and fuzz...I think Mori was running her drumsamples through max/msp on a laptop (as was recently discussed here). I liked the constant noisiness, the constant high-density of activity, with only a few brief moments of "calm". The continual reoccurrence of Steve Lacy's melodies took it from pretty damn good to almost exquisite. (superlatives for otomo and nels are redundant but......man!!) ROVA opened the evening with two saxophone 4tet pieces from the late seventies. I heard from others that on the following evening, for Ascension, Frith played bass. --G.

sonic light, amsterdam and more...
by Emmanouil Papagiannakis 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

hi, maybe of interest to people from the neighborhood: Check out the program to the sonic light festival that takes place in 2 weeks here in Amsterdam: a very promising schedule, on the relation between music and light/visuals. www.sonicacts.com Plus, this week another version of cobra is being perfomed in Zaal-100. It is becoming regular it seems. The line-up is quite different every time- this is also interesting to see how music evolves under the same prompter but varying players. Maybe we can even hope for a Zorn-prompted version when he is over here for holland festival, who knows!!! manolis

Hi, Has the final lineup been confirmed? Is Frisell really onboard again and what about vocals? I'm still a bit skeptical about this. I mean, when are they even going to rehearse anything?! Frisell has a pretty busy touring schedeule the days up to the concert. I hope Zorn suddenly had a stroke of divine inspiration and wrote a bunch of new masterpieces, which he felt could only be performed by this particular lineup. Or else I don't really see much "justification". Sure, it's probably gonna be fun, but... And of course I will go, but... Are they really opening for "The Highwaymen"? ;_) Bye, _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Zorn/Takayanagi
by alastair＠pretentious.co.uk 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

Looking through Patrice's discography I found the following record which intrigued me: 042 - EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE WITH JOHN ZORN: Jojo Takayanagi Side 1: DUO 1/ Active 1 (Takayanagi, Zorn) 11:28 2/ Active 2 (Takayanagi, Zorn) 12:39 Side 2: SOLO 3/ Brecht 47 (Takayanagi) 14:24 4/ Counterevidence (Takayanagi) 11:46 (1,2) recorded at Yokohama Education and Culture Center ATELIER B1, Yokohama on March 29, 1986 (3,4) recorded at Kid-Ailack Hall, Tokyo on May 23, 1986 Masayuki Takayanagi: guitar; John Zorn (1,2): alto, etc. 1986 - Mobys Record (Japan), Mobys 0005 (LM-1750) (LP) Sounds like a potentially excting clash. Can anyone shed any light on the quality of this? Let me know of it's availability on CD? Sell me a copy at vastly inflated prices? Thanks Alastair -- Personalised email by http://another.com
