ok, so years ago when my father died, i more or less inherited a batch of his old dylan vinyl and some cds. i had never remotely been a fan of dylan's, but i kept them for sentimental reasons. a few years later i got a promo of time out of mind at work and thought it was not that bad, and hung on to it. over the last year or two he's been creeping up on me (mostly through an odd effort to listen straight through to every single cd/record i have - just for this reason i guess; discovering a new like for things i have). now, i seem to be addicted! i want to know based on what i have and like, if you all could shoot some recommendations to buy and/or be wary of. here's what i have, and i have to say i like them all enough to have bought them if i heard them (good tracks far outweigh so-so). the greatest hits comps (1 and 3) have been great for me as a sampler, and i REALLY dig time out of mind. not as crazy about love and theft....here's what i have : Bob Dylan The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan The Times They Are A-Changin' Another Side of Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited Blonde On Blonde Greatest Hits 1 and 3 Time Out of Mind Love and Theft thanks. sorry for the no-zorn content, but this list tends to have the most knowledgeable people about all types of music (as well as some of the most passionate). dave http://www.mickharris.net - official mick harris pages http://www.eraldobernocchi.net - official eraldo bernocchi pages http://www.silent-watcher.net - bill laswell and alice coltrane pages

Re: A questionable Zorn review
by j4.porter＠student.qut.edu.au 17 Apr '04

Interestingly, a lot of people who have listened to my Masada recordings seem to think that Zorn has a limited musical vocabulary, using very similar types of licks and effects. I would argue that ultimately this does not matter. His solos still generate excitement and interest (the Masada live albums are testament to that). As for his playing being not on par with the other members of the group, I would say that Masada is hinged on the astounding interaction between the players, not individual virtuosity.

Re: November Music CD'sI tried to contact the label directly but didn't got any reply. Then I tried to contact Lowlands, the result was the same. Just don't understand why it's so hard to find those CD's. Is there any store in Netherlands with November Music CD's?

have you attended the whole festival and can you give some more insights about other concerts at ACME?

I saw them in the middle of the ACME fest here, and it >surprised me how Fantomas and Melt-Banana's performances meshed into Joe >McPhee, Peter Brotzmann and the Vandermark 5 and offshoots performances >over the 4 days that all these events occured.

ACME FEST

>> Man, it was a really good time, I can tell you that. My club hosted >>three of the four days of music, I only missed the day that >>Fantomas/Melt-Banana played. Atomic were a revelation to me, a bunch of >>Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish guys playing like Miles' 60's quintet, but >>each tune featured a tiny wrinkle that would would pull the rug out from >>under you entirely. You could never predict where it was coming from. >>Brotzmann and Nasheet Waits' duo took a few minutes to start but once it >>did, it held my attention fast for 50 minutes solid. The all-star group >>improvisation led by Joe Morris was interesting also. Not jazz, but >>straight non-idiomatic improv. very imteresting, but Joe Morris' decision >>to not play through an amp and directly mike his hollow body guitar all >>but drowned him out once the rest of the players got going. That was Night >>1. >> The third day brought Free Fall, Vandermark's Jimmy Giuffre tribute. >>Nice, sparse, and everything you'd expect from a Giuffre tribute. Triage >>blazed through a wonderful set seemingly playing everything in >>triple-time. I hadn't seen them in a couple of years and it was great to >>see how much they had added to their arsenal in that time. Joe McPhee's >>solo set was a beautiful gem, a masterpiece of economy and concentration. >>Anyone looking to be able to play solo concerts should really look into >>what McPhee is doing these days. Joe Maneri's trio was incredible that >>evening, I can't say I have ever heard music like that before! Fresh music >>from the festival's oldest participant! The Vandermark 5 continued in that >>slightly chamberish mode that they have been developing for the past >>couple years. They held a crowd of 200 or so mouthy Southerners completely >>spellbound and silent for about an hour and a half. The Brotzmann Tentet >>(minus Mars Williams, who had a baby tantrum and went home early), >>conducted business as usual, concentrating on Brotzmann's tunes for this >>set. >> The last day of the festival featured Joe and Mat Maneri doing a >>ravishing duet. School Days did their thing and the Tentet Minus 1 was >>heisted by Fred Lonberg-Holm who prompted the band with a light tree that >>he would control. Fred's some sort of mad scientist, and a hell of a guy >>to boot. I enjoyed my conversations with him very much. The Tentet's >>Sunday set was slightly more enjoyable than the Saturday set, but both >>were incredible. >> Not a clunker in the bunch, and a pair of exhausted ears at the end of >>the week. >>Take care! >>Craig > _________________________________________________________________ Free up your inbox with MSN Hotmail Extra Storage!
