My ex-girlfriend was really into alt-country and old rockabilly. She got me into this incredible female vocalist/guitarist named Wanda Jackson. She has a gritty voice and tough lyrics. She was definitely ahead of her time. I'm not sure what albums to suggest because I don't own any (yet). But Wanda Jackson is definitely worth checking out. The guitar playing is amazing at times, some of the stuff would surely impress Ribot or Frisell; very very creative for its time. She is not what you would expect from a female singer from the 50's/early 60's. -adam morosky _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

east side nyc recommendations
by Bob 31 May '03

31 May '03

Hey Zornsters (familiar w/ NYC) I'll be in NYC for a (definately non-Zorn related) conference in June and am wondering what shows would be worth catching Sunday June 8th through Wednesday June 11th? I see Frisell and Horvitz aren't anywhere near the neighborhood at that time but I'm sure there are shows or venues to check out. Also, any recommendations for area record or book shops, or just cool places to see in general. Thanks in advance Bob np: Ben Webster

[Fwd: "Angler Fish" and "Daxophone" in the same sentence.]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [BA-NEWMUS:9666] "Angler Fish" and "Daxophone" in the same sentence. Date: Fri, 30 May 2003 08:44:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Tom Duff <td(a)pixar.com> Reply-To: ba-newmus(a)ella.mills.edu To: Bay Area New Music Discussion <ba-newmus(a)ella.mills.edu> Today, my employer's new animated movie Finding Nemo, opens in theatres. When a movie I worked on comes out, people always ask "what part did you do?" and I usually hate answering, because the answer usually involves convolution integrals or implicit function surfaces or worse. But in this movie, in addition to doing some light transport and sampling theory, I'm the Daxophone soloist! The movie is about a Clown Fish's father, who goes on a quest to find his lost son. In his travels he has a scary encounter with an Angler Fish, whose menacing growl (Growl? Under water? What can I say; it's a cartoon.) is the sound of me playing my home-built double-neck Daxophone. It's only on screen for a few seconds, so it's easy to miss. (But stay until the end of the credits for a bonus...) "Tom Duff exclusively uses Pop's rosin on a base of Carlsson rosin on his Gino Robair signature model fiberglass German bass bow." -- Tom Duff. His vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

Le Chouartse ???
by Ken Waxman 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi gang: One thing that's always bugged me is the meaning of the title of Michel Portal's Arrivederci Le Chouartse CD. I just looked "Chouartse" up in both a French/Engliah and Italian/English Web dictionary and can find no translation. Do I have the right language? Is it in a real language? And what does this mean? Anyone have any idea(s)?

I'm not talking about >the typos, but about the style of it. I thought Strauss' article on Grimes was OK but I would have liked to have seen Ben Ratliff write him up instead. I presume/hope that he's covering VF for the Times. Also, REALLY glad to hear that Joseph Jarman is OK. Still, I wonder what happened on that first night of the Vision Fest with him...

Hi all, What's happening with Joseph Jarman? He missed the first night of the Vision Festival where he traditionally leads off and nobody seems to know why he didn't make it. Hope he's OK.
