I just want to point out another harpist : Helene Breschand. She comes from the contemporary scene. But she is more and more involved in improv. She has recorded with Michel Doneda (sax) and Gerald Zbinden (guitar) on For 4 Ears, and she has a solo album on french label In Situ. She also has a project with guitarist Jean-Francois Pauvros.

Emannuel has played in some Zorn groups as well as other downtown bands & a great Leo Smith recording, while Anne Le Baron took part in at least one of Derek Bailey's Company meetings and some other things I can't remember right now. * Though I have to say I like Chico's piano playing a lot more than Harpo's harpistry, but maybe that's just me.

She did a trio record with Trans called _Jewels_ in 1979; LaDonna Smith plays piano harp on some parts of this, which does raise the question of whether that practice generally "counts" as an answer to the question as well. -- Jim Flannery newgrange(a)talmanassociates.com When you can't give anything, you can also receive nothing.

Alice Coltrane does play harp in a lot of her recordings. There is a Charlie Haden record in which there is duo between Haden in bass and A Coltrane in the harp. On monday I'll give you the complete info. Simon Calle 91.9 Javeriana Estereo

Thomas Chapin
by Andrew Stiffler 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

Hello List: Not so long ago someone mentioned the Thomas Chapin Box set "Alive". I was quite upset with The Knitting Factory for cashing in on the Death of Mr. Chapin. I had already supported every release including numorous guest appearances, the two Arabesque releases "You don't know me" & "I've got your number", under cover collection band, Ned Rothenberg's double band and one Machine Gun record. I questioned the KF about where the proceeds would go? To his family, charity, or so on? It just seemed typical of a label to cash in and include something they knew would interest people who may already own everything. It's a nice package and I am glad it may have turned many on to Thomas! But I do not like the fact KF could not tell me it was for any special reason. I guess I miss out on the extra disc...

Alert to all lucky enough to catch the most amazing free jazz unit on this planet, or any other. I would kill (not really) to be able to catch any of their shows, but alas they are smart enough to avoid Florida (wish I had thought of that). Anyway, I have lots of great jazz to trade with anyone who is able to record any of the shows.

(NZC) Alan Lomax field recordings
by dave 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

you all are extremely knowledgeable so i'm hoping someone can give me a little info on alan lomax's field recordings (or possibly send me to a website). i've been going through my vinyl collection and recently found a record called THE EASTERN SHORES : SOUTHERN JOURNEY 8. It was put out by Prestige International in the early '60s. It's a collection of (and I'm quoting, so it's not politically correct) "american negro folk music'. i thought maybe the '8' in the title referred to a series number (the catalog number is 25008), but the notes on the sleeve don't indicated anything like that. does anyone know? if so, what else was issued? the recording is great....
