I don't think they ever played any Beach Boys songs, but the cover notes for "Love Henry" mentions that Michael Moore who chose the tunes was a huge fan. This is how I remember it. It's possible I'm wrong. >From: "Julian" <germtheory(a)optusnet.com.au> >To: <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: clusone/beach boys >Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 00:28:20 +1000 > >Heya, > >The other day someone told me they had heard of an album of Beach Boys >covers done by the Clusone Trio (or members thereof, possibly with some >other people), he wasn't really sure of any details... anyone know what >album he's referring to? > >Julian. > > >_______________________________________________ >zorn-list mailing list >zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com >To UNSUBSCRIBE or Change Your Subscription Options, go to the webpage below >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zorn-list _________________________________________________________________ >From must-see cities to the best beaches, plan a getaway with the Spring Travel Guide! http://special.msn.com/local/springtravel.armx

Julian.<< In another of Michael Moore's bands, Available Jelly, they cover "Warmth of the Sun" and "Catch A Wave" on their cd "In Full Flail" which was released on Ear-Rational. This might have been rereleased on Moore's Ramboy label, I'm not sure. On this release its just a quartet with Eric Boeren, Gregg Moore, and Michael Vatcher. Many of their other releases have a more expanded lineup. Cheers, John Threadgould

Sunny Murray
by Manolis 29 Apr '04

Efrén del Valle: <<I remember seeing Sunny Murray two years ago and I thought he wouldn't be drumming for too long>> Ken Waxman: <<Precisely. When I saw Sunny Murray play with Sabir Mateen a few months ago, he seemed as full of the old fire and excitement that he had in thr 1960s as he ever did. Sometimes a person recovers>> I was lucky to see Sunny Murray with Henry Grimes and David Murray about a month ago at the Bimhuis, and he looked absolutely great. His playing was excellent. Indeed full of fire. One of the greates drummers. manolis

Favor request: Zorn's favorite ethnic recordings
by K. Scott Handley 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hello all: Could anyone who has issue 7.2 of the magazine RESONANCE (not the style and pop culture glossy, but rather the older LMC publication focusing on new music, improvisation, etc) please forward to the list the favorite "ethnic" (hmmm...their term...) recordings of John Zorn and (if you're feeling really generous) the other respondants to the issue's survey: David Toop, Evan Parker, Viv Dogan Corringham, Steve Beresford, Clive Bell, Robert Reigle, Robert Wyatt, Pat Thomas. I don't have my issue anywhere near my side of North America right now and I don't know anyone with one. I think it would be good list discussion fodder, perhaps....?
