New Dave Douglas
by Arthur Gadney 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Hi, Steve's comments on the new Dave Douglas album made me even more curious. Anybody care to add a few more comments? I'm curious where this album would fit stylewise (sorry for asking such questions on the Zorn list! ;-) I've been listening more and more to Jamie Saft and I think he is really great. Enormous variety and much talent. I'm curious what he came up with together with DOuglas. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

by Steve Smith 20 Feb '03

The "band" that plays on most of 'Freak In' hasn't played around at all. The post-Witness electroacoustic septet is only on two tracks. Dave constructed most of the rest with Jamie Saft in the studio, featuring contributions by Marc Ribot, Romero Lubambo, Chris Speed, Seamus Blake, Ikue Mori, Brad Jones, Joey Baron and Karsh Kale. The process was extremely different than anything Dave has ever done before; it falls somewhere between the Miles-and-Teo style of after-the-fact tune construction and the elaborate pop-craft of Radiohead and Bjork. That said, a version of the "new" band did hit the road yesterday in Vermont, and will close the birthday week here in New York in March. I'm probably a little too close to the project to comment further, but I have a great deal of sympathy for the review I read yesterday that calls the album Dave's best single project. I still hold Witness in that position, but I can see where someone might get that excited about 'Freak In.'

Re: Morricone

Hi, My favorite Morricone soundtrack would be the soundtrack he did for 'Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura' (AKA 'Cold Eyes of Fear'), which he made together with the electronic/improvised music group that he was part of, 'Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza'. I did not sea the movie (directed by Enzo G. Castellari), but the music is a great mix of electronics, free improvisation and the usual film music of Morricone in the seventies (often together in one track). The CD is on the Dagored label.

Apparantly the tapes were lost in a fire in a warehouse or something like that. Quite a tragedy.

Morricone
by Tosh 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Except for the big westerns and a couple of Warren Beatty (later) films I never really seen the films that are connected to Morricone. For instnace, I would love to see "The Sicilian Clan." I have seen "Danger: Diabolik" and that is great. So that film for sure gets my vote. And speaking of "Diabolik," is it true that the original tapes are missing or were destroyed in an accident of some sort? I have a bootleg on CD, with a great package - but the sound quality is not as good as the other releases from various labels - but essential Morricone And I would like to add another subject to Morricone. Can anyone recommend music by him that was not used for film. For instance classical pieces or any recordings from his avant-garde group in Italy during the 60's. What I do have (which is quite a lot of his horror or crime soundtracks) - I am totally ga-ga over the music. -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

Hi, I really like Dario Argento's relatively recent (1996) film, "The Stendhal Syndrome." I enjoyed it much more than some of his better known films ("Phenomenom", "Suspiria", "Deep Red").
