JZ may offer some guidelines to the musicians he asks to contribute to the RJC series, but I'm sure he gives them complete freedom to do ANYTHING they want, once he's decided, as musicians, they fit his definition. My guess is nothing is rejected once it's been commissioned. (I assume all of this series are commissioned works...) After all, it's the same freedom he demands of directors when doing his music for film. Consequently, "Radical Jewish Culture" is just a takeoff point, a spark, with NO preconceived direction or definition. Dan --working on a Radical Lutheran Culture project :-) --still listening to the Larry Young 1973 Perception label reissue, Lawrence of Newark (Radical Arabian Culture?) w/ Blood Ulmer and so many guys I never heard of - I can't get enuf of this!
