2 MASADA questions...
by Nathan Holaway 11 May '04

11 May '04

1. Please clarify or help me dismiss the rumor that there is a limited amount of copies of a "MASADA-eleven." I've only heard two rumors that said that there was such a thing. My understanding was that there were only 10. Someone please write and let me know what's up. 2. (another clarity qestion...) On Dave Douglas' website, he has a gig date mentioned as "Acoustic Masada." Ok. Anybody else bt Zorn, I would automatically think of just the quartet. But is it just the quartet? If anybody knows anything about this, please write and let me know what's happenin'. Thanks-a-bunch, ---Nathan Holaway _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/

DNA reissue
by Perfect Sound Forever 09 May '04

09 May '04

My apologies if this information already made the rounds here but I just thought I'd mention this reissue I helped to produce. Hope you get to hear it and enjoy it. It's available here in NYC at Other Music, Kim's and Downtown Music. Forced Exposure will be ready to sell it through their site too: <http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/dna.html> Best, Jason >_____________________________________________ >NO MORE RECORDS: > >DNA: DNA on DNA CD (NO 12CD). "New York's seminal No Wave band, DNA, makes >it's highly anticipated American CD debut with this definitive collection >of studio and live recordings. Surviving two line ups over a brief four >years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under >recorded band left a huge void in it's wake. Formed in 1978, Brazilian >raised singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay hastily assembled an international >trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield played keyboard and Japanese-born >Ikue Mori played drums. DNA played their first gig within weeks and >recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. The ear of Brian Eno was >quickly caught, recording them for the infamous No New York compilation >alongside James Chance, Mars, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Before No New >York was released, Robin left the band after a total tenure of nine >months. Bassist Tim Wright had just left Pere Ubu, relocated to NY and >quickly joined DNA. With a new face, a new instrument and a new sound, DNA >recorded their classic nine minute EP A Taste Of DNA. DNA toured the >States and Europe bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. >DNA only released 12 songs during it's lifetime, and another 3 shortly >afterwards on a european compilation. Their impact was far and wide >reaching. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including >Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who >appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This CD compiles all of the >studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the >original lineup's 'early versions' of 'Detached,' '5:30' and 'Low' (which >is closely related to 'A New Low.') The unreleased studio tracks >'Grapefruit,' 'Police Chase' and 'Young Teenagers Talk Sex' are heard here >for the first time as well as live versions of the unreleased songs >'Nearing' and 'Surrender.' Exclusive liner notes from Byron Coley, Jason >Gross and Glenn O'Brien pack the 16 page booklet alongside many unseen >photos and flyers." $14.50

RE: Kang & Fantomas
by Matthew Garrington 07 May '04

07 May '04

Whomever sees Kang open for Fantomas, tell us how it went! I've seen that guy a lot, but never as a solo artist. The best performance was probably Secret Chiefs 3, even if it wasn't musically the best musicians I've seen him play with. I love the Bill Frisell Quartet stuff w/Kang, but it never really caught fire onstage. Frisell's latest group, the Intercontinentals are fantastic! Great live show! Originally, Dying Ground was supposed to open up for Fantomas. Are they on any other Fantomas' gigs in Europe?

Fortunately Kang's not opening but he'll be joining Fantomas!!!! I can't wait for that show and be sure I'll share my delight the day after! AM: ## SHIT!! NO THERE'S A SHOW I'D LOVE TO SEE!!! I REALLY LOVE KANG'S ALBUM WITH FRISELL, THAT'S GREAT! ANDREW N.P - SINATRA & JOBIM - "Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim" ##

frisell effects-pedal in NC (musician's talk)
by Eric van Rees 07 May '04

07 May '04

Hello, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but can anyone tell me what effect pedal(s) Bill Frisell used when playing in Naked City (I'm not familiair with his other music yet, except Masada guitars)? I'm a sucker when it comes to recognizing pedals by ear, my guess is a digital delay and/or chorus. At first I didn't like his guitar 'tone' but now I've become familiar with it, I really like it, especially when i saw him playing a Fender Strat (I thought jazz musicians hate Strats. Well maybe Frisell isn't THAT much a jazz musician as i thought). He seems to be able to extend his tones in a way you can do with a keyboard and the sound is very digital to my ears (thats why i think he uses digital delay). What i also like is that you cannot hear him pick a string with a pick (which can be very annoying sometimes). He also adds interesting other notes in his playing too. So enlighten me. Any cd recommandations too? Thanx in advance, gr. Eric _________________________________________________________________ MSN Zoeken, voor duidelijke zoekresultaten! http://search.msn.nl

John Abercrombie
by Richard Gardner 07 May '04

07 May '04

Has anybody heard the new John Abercrombie album "Class Trip" on ECM? Quite a line up: John Abercrombie guitar; Mark Feldman violin; Joey Baron drums; Marc Johnson bass. BBC Radio 3 played a track last night and it sounded very good. Richard Gardner
