CD compaction
by Dan Frank Kuehn 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

I'm moving - again - and again i'm looking at packing my humble 1500 or so CDs... I remember someone here mentioning a long long time ago something about a CD storage album that accommodated the guts of the typical jewel case along with the disc - tray card and booklet minus the brittle and bulky jewel case. Something like this would greatly reduce the bulk and weight of my collection. Has anyone seen such a thing? Thanks Nad NP - music to pack by - used and new CDs acquired for a stack of trade-ins at Request in Wailuku on Maui: Arto Lindsay - Prize Soft Machine - Kings of Canterbury(2CDs - bootleg? of 69-70 live material) Billy Martin - The Turntable sessions, vol 1 Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant - Sister Phantom Owl Fish Secret Chiefs 3 - Book of Horizons Nad Nheuk web guy for Soft Stool http://www.softstool.com 25 years of Stooling in obscurity ...lucky the tape was rolling...

Masada DVD (and possibly Naked City?)
by Shane Brady 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Firstly, a Masada live DVD is very exciting news to those of us for whom a chance to see Zorn play live means a plane ticket to the other side of the planet. Hooray! Secondly, where did you here/read about this? Also, the bookshelf DVD contains a Naked City track taken from a bootleg vcr recording of NC's last gig. If one track has been cleaned up and remastered for DVD then is it not a big stretch to think the whole gig has been? Shane Brady --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

It's a distorted guitar through a very fast tremolo effect, something with the depth turned up so much that it cuts in and out of the sound, then the rate turned up so much as to be a very quick cutting in and out.

LIVE FRISELL w/ DATE
by Bruno N 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Okay, I know, we've going back and forth with this one over the last month. But, I wrote Songline/Tonefield Productions, and they informed me, the LIVE FRISELL will be released in March 2005. Yeah, I know, I don't want to wait that long either but that's the good word, from the nice people at Songline/Tonefield. That could change, but plan for 3/05. Please keep me posted on the new Motian/Lovano/Frisell ECM release if you happen to come across any dates for that particular album.

Somewhat Elvis
by Stephen Fruitman 11 Aug '04

11 Aug '04

The first offspring of the Elvis Costello-Diana Krall marriage has recently arrived - Krall´s CD _The Girl in the Other Room_ (Verve). Lovely jazz piano + small combo, and that great voice grappling (successfully!) with Elvis´ lyrics. In between their eight new songs (her music to his lyrics), covers of Costello´s "Almost Blue", plus terrific tunes by Joni Mitchell, Moses Allison and Tom Waits. Hardly avant-anything, but classy. Moving, panoramic closer, "Departure Bay", about her first Xmas home after her mother passed away. Bound to bring a tear to the eye of the hardest cats out there (everybody´s got a mom, everybody´s got a childhood home...). For another kind of jazz, recommended reading: _Seriously Funny: The Rebel Comedians of the 1950s and 1960s_, by Gerald Nachman (New York, 2003). -- Stephen Fruitman Dept of Historical Studies Umea University SE-901 87 Umea Sweden
