Great Jewish Music/50th Anniversary
by Efrén del Valle 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Hi, I got some new Tzadik stuff this morning. Some days ago someone asked if the Zorn/Frith duo was what you'd expect from these two, and as someone said earlier, it is. It's basically noisy improvisations with some quiet moments thrown in for good measure, but basically it's a sonic attack of noise and extended techniques. It sounds as great as one might expect. The Hemophiliac show also sounds pretty great, better than the limited edition album, imho. Of course, it doesn't differ too much in terms of musical directions, but it's much more cohesive than the expensive edition, I think. This is just a first impression, having listened to each twice so far, but besides the Locus Solus volume, these two are the most appealing of the series to me, even if the String Trio was finally a great release after so much arguing here. Forthcoming releases are Masada Quartet, The Classic Guide to Strategy (fear!), Game Pieces (generically, don't know more) and the Leo Smith & Susie Ibarra/Zorn duos, according to the OBI. I'm currently listening to the Jacom do Bandolim tribute for the second time and it's really beautiful and engaging. It somehow compares to the music of Villalobos in how joyful and simple (in its best sense) it sounds. So I'd dare to say that those who enjoyed Baptista's take on the latter will enjoy this one a lot. After the Bolan & Argov albums I had lowered my expectations with these series but the bar is up there again. Really gorgeous and tasteful. Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: Â¡100 MB GRATIS! Nuevos servicios, mÃ¡s seguridad http://correo.yahoo.es

Re: Where is Dresser going?

That's correct, straight from the horse's mouth. And although she didn't play a formal "farewell" concert, Myra Melford is also leaving New York this month to take up a teaching gig of at least two years in Berkeley. Proving the principle of redistribution of mass and energy in the universe, however, George Lewis is headed to New York for a position at Columbia University, and his wife, Miya Masaoka, is coming with him.

>But what about these two, anybody listened to them yet?: >CICALA-MVTA: "GHOST CIRCUS" Biggish band, somewhat 'circus-ish' stuff somewhere along the Hamster Theatre/Lars Hollmer/Alec Redfearn and the Eyesores axis (but no accordion unlike those three bands). Listening to it now. Pretty darn good, if you like that sound. Steve F.

Rich Hoak (former Brutal Truth drummer) started a new band a few years back called Total F**king Destruction. They're based here in Philly so they play around here fairly frequently, just recently opening for the Unsane. Pretty much in the same vein as Brutal Truth. You can check out their site here: http://www.voicenet.com/~rich666/ Never heard of him doing any jazz-ish stuff. -M@ >------------------------------ > >Message: 6 >Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2004 08:35:13 +0000 >From: "Arthur Gadney" <a_gadney(a)hotmail.com> >Subject: Brutal Truth drummer >To: zorn-list(a)lists.xmission.com >Message-ID: <BAY12-F31OmQwKLAffP0000245c(a)hotmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed > >Somebody mentioned that the drummer from Brutal Truth would be perfect for >PainKiller since he does both grindcore and jazz and I was pretty curious >about that.

Brutal Truth drummer
by Arthur Gadney 01 Aug '04

01 Aug '04

Somebody mentioned that the drummer from Brutal Truth would be perfect for PainKiller since he does both grindcore and jazz and I was pretty curious about that. I'm very impressed by his drumming with Brutal Truth, but had no idea he also did other things. Couldn't find any info on the web either... Any tips? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
