Thanks for helping me out! Hi Olivier, & welcome to the list. While Steve is right about the short Zorn chapter in the Bailey book, you're right about there being several editions of the book and the first edition (which grew out of a series of interviews with, I think, some recordings of music as well, for radio) is missing this chapter (as well as several other things that I forget right now). The second edition also has a related video manifestation from which is the source for some of the added interview material. In any case, if you can't find the Zorn chapter in the copy of the book your library has, you haven't (necessarily) gone crazy.

Do you think we can keep discussion of Naked City in Amsterdam to a minimum. I don't think I can take the jealousy. :-T Message: 1 Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 19:23:40 +0200 From: manolis <papagian(a)nat.vu.nl> Subject: Re: holland festival 2003- chimeras etc. To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com Message-ID: <3E96FA1B.6000000(a)nat.vu.nl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-7; format=flowed >Perhaps we could have a Euro-Zornlist get together in a cafe somewhere? > > > >Good idea.

Hi there! New to the list and already have questions...: I've faithfully read the FAQ's section on the Mailing list's web-page and saw the book references about Zorn. I took "Improvisation: It's nature and practice in music" by Derek Bailey at my University Library. But can't find the place where Bailey interviews Zorn and this after 4 times quickly going over the book. As i'm doing an essay in which I need to talk about Zorn, can anyone who knows that book tell me where I can find that interview or if there's an "augmented" version of that book which does features Zorn's interview and that I simply don't have the right edition?

I have to correct myself, There are not 9 bonus tracks on the DVD but 12... When typing them in the email I forgot about the 3 on the next page of the booklet. 10. Fred Frith (solo concert, some minutes) 11. Fred Frith (humming some more songs) 12. Joey Baron (short fooling around) Maarten -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Maarten Hepp [mailto:mhepp@xs4all.nl] Verzonden: zaterdag 12 april 2003 0:19 Aan: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com Onderwerp: Re: Step Across the border Hi, I just watched the Step Across the Border DVD. It does have more than three bonus tracks (9 actually). They are: 1. John Dee Holeman (a few minutes playing a blues song)) 2. Charles Hayward (very short, drumming on garbage cans) 3. Arto Lindsay (very short, guitar at a rehearsal)) 4. Fred Frith (short, playing the piano)) 5. Fred Frith & Tom Cora (a few minutes playing/rehearsing) 6. Fred Frith, René Lussier, Jean Derome & Kevin Norton (short, rehearsing) 7. Cyro Baptista (short percussion solo) 8. Fred Frith & John Zorn (some minutes from a concert at the Kitchen) 9. Fred Frith & Tim Hodgkinson (playing at Tim's house) These extras amount to 29:47 minutes. Seeing the movie again was also wonderful... Best, Maarten Hepp

>===== Original Message From "Miller, James Andrew (UMC-Student)" <jam189(a)mizzou.edu> ===== >Zornlist: > >I'm looking for examples of what I'm calling "topical pop songs"-- the most obvious examples would be protest/folk songs, but they don't have to be specifically in that tradition. The criteria would be something like this: > >-- A song intended for "popular consumption," with lyrics that take a definite stand on a specific issue or event. > >-- The issue or event needs to be something relatively limited in scope or scale. For example, a straightforward anti-Cold War song would be too big, but Phil Ochs' "Talkin' Cuban Crisis" would be perfect. Here, Ochs is making statements about a relatively specific historical event, while at the same time saying something about larger political and ethical concerns. The topic of the song needs to be narrow enough that students could go to newspapers and the like to research the event and the various contemporary perspectives on its significance. > >-- It would be great if I could find songs that take a variety of stands. I'm not specifically interested in songs that reflect my own political views. The entirety of Randy Newman's album "Good Old Boys." Or just his song "Political Science." Or "Birmingham." andrew
