hello - the squid's ear online magazine <http://www.squidsear.com> is planning several special features to mark john zorn's 50th birthday in september. one thing we want to have in the issue is many, many reviews of zorn's recordings. since these aren't reviews of new cds, we're looking for pieces that will spur a bit of thought in people who already know the record. the kind of review we're looking for will be personal or social or anecdotal; it will be more than just a recommendation, but will have something to say (such as what record is his most overlooked, overrated or influential). any submissions will be considered, however we're not going to run more than one review of a single record. all reviews should be sent by July 15, but communication beforehand is welcome. if you have an idea, a question or want to try to request that you get to cover a particular title (such a request should include a compelling idea for the review), feel free to write. for what it's worth, we're more interested in provacative insights than flowery syntax. and we'll work with people for whom english isn't a first language to help make a compelling bit of prose. all questions, suggestions and reviews should be sent to <ear@squidco.com>. please participate. this will be a great overview of zorn's recording career, and we want to have many different voices involved. cheers, kurt _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
