As far as Leng T'che, I've only heard three live performances of the piece: one from an undetermined date from the Saalfelden Jazz Fest that lasts 23 min. and is played as two movements - the best recorded one, which is about as long as the best one from Cologne in May of '92, and then the most commonly traded one from the 9-17-93 early show during the Zorn retrospective that lasts 37 min.(that was also the night they performed the theme from THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER which is one of my favorite unreleased covers of theirs). Does anyone know of any others floating around?
I have a version of Leng T'che played in Vienna on July 6, 1991. It lasts 22 mn 49 s. Maybe it's the one you speak about (Saalfelden Jazz Fest).... - Thierry
