This new quintet recording is a LIVE recording, of a show they played here in Seattle at the EARHSOT jazz festival in the fall of 1995. The show was voted the HIGHLIGHT of the festival, and is considered by many to even be the best improv show of ALL OF 1995 IN SEATTLE!!!! There is a reunioun show scheduled for May 14th at the Tractor Tavern, Seattle, WA, where copies of this LIVE CD will be on sale.(It's the CD release party, so to speak.....and I will certainly go check it!) >yes, i saw kang and spruance together in a 'mr. bungle attempts free improv' show >in s.f. i must admit, however, that it was pretty lame, epecially kang's >contribution. he played without any noticeable regard for the other musicians. >i've since heard all these great things about him, so maybe he was just having a >bad night. Yeah, I would say he was probably having a bad night. Or, maybe the other musicians were having a bad night. The bottom line is that the jam wasn't happening, for whatever reasons, and that's just the nature of live improv sometimes. Anyways, I would like to say that I have seen Kang in very good form more often than not, esp. in one of his appearances with the SUN CITY GIRLS, a BRILLIANT group of madmen that live in Seattle these days.(formerly from the southwest somewhere) The Sun City Girls are fabulous these days.... ....and they are all over the map. Eyvind once did a "middle-eastern" flavored jam with them that was wonderful......I love it when the SUN CITY GIRLS do this type of jamming.....as they are VERY good in this context... Another wonderful Kang appearance was his guest slot with PIGPEN a long time ago('93), where he sat in and played Frisell's parts during a SET of NAKED CITY tunes. He made his violin-like electric instrument(homemade) squeal and screech in such a wonderful way......very nicely indeed.... >All this talk about Eyvind Kang has gotten me curious as to who he is. >I've never heard of him before; could someone tell me a bit about him? >-jascha Well, Eyvind is a YOUNG man(20's) who is originally from Canada, and came to Seattle to attend the CORNISH College of the Arts. He was educated there by a wonderful violinist named MICHAEL WHITE, who has played with SUN RA and PHAROAH SANDERS in the past, among many others. I believe MR. WHITE appears on Sanders' latest CD!(and had a mighty fine jam with Mr. Sanders during one of the nights of his last Seattle appearance.) I ASSUME it's because of Mr. White that he chose Cornish. Anyways, Eyvind was mentored by a great violinist, and he is a very talented improvisor. He has a bright future ahead of him, IMO..... p.s.- the Endless Records compilation I mentioned in the most recent digest features Eyvind on a number of cuts. The CD is alot of fun, and FYI: can be purchased by sending 12$ to: Endless Rec.'s, 17 1/2 W. Dravus, SEATTLE, WA 98119. A bargain indeed!!!!!!!!!!

Other than the obvious (FNM & Mr. Bungle), He worked with Boo-Yaa Tribe together with Faith No More on the soundtrack to "Judgment Night". The soundtrack is completely tracks in which rock bands team up with Rap artists, and actually it is a very good disc. The FNM/Boo-Yaa Tribe Song, "Another Body Murdered" is one of the better tracks, though I think just the thought of Slayer and Ice-T together was worth checking the disc out. With Sepultura he does backing vocals on their new album "Roots". The album is pretty good, kind of thrash/death metal with a tinge of tribal influence. I can't remember the name(s) of the song(s) that Patton does vocals on, and also Jonathan of Korn also contributes on the album. As for Zorn, I know that Patton did vocals on his "Elegy" album, as well as touring with Naked City. As for the other artists I'm not too sure, so hopefully someone can fill in the other blanks.

I like them, but for the price of a Tzadik CD, you could get something with actual musicality going on, rather than the sonic jokes to be found on Zohar and Nani Nani. Nani Nani is more varied than Zohar, and many of the songs, although completely inane and stupid (on purpose, of course) are funny. 'Bad Hawkwind', the (chuckle) 'ambient' track is an 18 minute long scream, thanks to long delay settings. If you subtract that from the total length, it's 42minutes minus 18...so actualy there's only 24 minutes or so of music which does anything.

My guess is that the role is shared by several people; a concoction devised so that Buckethead can change his guitar styles from record to record, show to show; If he gets sick or dies the legend can continue. They have different famous players sit in and then try out up-and-comers. The first Buckethead show was Frank Zappa and for the last few months it's been back and forth between The Edge and Les Paul.

He doesn't like his real name to be used, although it appeared on his first recorded performance (on a Henry Kaiser album.) He always performs with the mask and the bucket on his head. He is not famous outside of the stage persona, and he is especially not Eddie Van Halen, or Steve Vai, for that matter. Neither of those guys can play the jazz stuff he plays. He knows the editor of Guitar Player, which is how he ended up writing the column. He plays more or less regularly in three bands, Giant Robot (Buckethead and Brain), Praxis (Buckethead, Bill Laswell, Brain, and occasionally others), and the Deli Creeps (Buckethead, Pinchface, and two guys whose names I don't know.) He has recorded with George Winston (!), Henry Kaiser, Bootsy Collins, Jonas Hellborg, Michael Shrieve, Bernie Worrell, Bill Laswell, and others. He has also done soundtrack work.
