The Divination track appeared on Ambient Dub Volume One and the Material track Ineffect was originally on Seven Souls. The track lengths are identical to the original releases so I don't think they are remixes (they don't sound like it). The main tracks of value/intrest for me were the archival recordings of Brion Gysin _Cut Up_ and _From Here To Go_ documenting early cut up experiments. The Islamic Diggers tracks are nice without really doing anything new. Scanner produces the most interesting tracks looping fragments of the Master Musicians to trance inducing effect. I found the recordings of the Gnoua and Joujouka musics totally irriating (I like the laswell produced recordings) in the low budget documentary way they are recorded. The result is totally unbalanced and sounds extremely disjointed. Overall I feel it's a very patchy compliation, with the filler outweighing the *good stuff*. Laswellophiles won't find anything new on here and the overall the set is disappointing. I'd recommend listening to it before splashing the cash. A far better purchase would be the underwood comp on sub rosa, which features new material from a forthcoming Laswell disc, also new Mick Harris a track from David Shea's _the tower of mirrors_ plus a few suprises like Nus's _lament_ from a cd titled _all the vertical angels_ which is apparently *another* Laswell production.

The first CD is the best with Scanner and Bomb The Bass playing some decent dance tracks(although i have been told these tracks have already been released elsewhere).Divination is really boring but then again i don't like Lasswell's dance stuff very much... The second is virtually useless, unless you are interested in listening to Paul Bowles describing Brion Gysin's studio(it is more boring than it sounds) or marianne faithfull saying that Brion Gysin was her only friend....not to mention Burroughs himself saying something i cannot understand about Gysin. The only thing i can listen to is John Cale's "On The Vine"(apparently included because he mentions Burroughs in it) but i think it has also being released before.

I heard this as a rumor a week or so ago, via a friend who heard it from someone in the band A.C., and hoped it wasn't true because Masuda, although he was the third (!) bassist that drummer/mastermind Tatsuya Yoshida has played with in the duo, was my favorite, playing on their penultimate album "Burning Stone" and making songwriting contributions on their more recent Tzadik relase. Plus I've met him and seen him play and he's a great guy, really nice (as is Yoshida, although he's a bit more reserved, at least in America). Anyway, it apparently is true, this was confirmed for me by the A&R guy at God Mountain records in Japan, who put out the Ruins-side project band Hundred Sights of Koenji, in which Masuda played guitar. He's quit that too. I have no idea (yet) why, maybe he had a fight with Yoshida? Or, more likely, he just wanted to do his own thing. Any further info anybody else has on this would be appreciated! And, as far as I know, the Ruins will continue, Yoshida will just have to find another insane bass player, teach him 50+ songs, etc. But he's done that before... ---Allan Horrocks--- ---Hoe 'zine--- ---mool@sirius.com--- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 May 1996 09:51:55 -0400 From: Steve Smith To: zorn-list@xmission.com Subject: Bobby Previte's "Weather Clear, Track Fast" Message-Id: <199605281351.JAA25933@soundwire.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" At 04:49 PM 5/27/96 CET, Marcin Gokieli wrote: >Hello everyone, >I ' ve just bought Bobby Previte's Weather Clear Track Fast 'Hue and Cry' CD. >I love it!!!

There is currently one other disc by this band, the one from which it got its name, "Weather Clear, Track Fast" on enja. It's another stomper, like "Hue and Cry." A slightly different version of the band has just recorded a live album in Germany, for release in September. That band includes bassist Lindsey Horner, saxophonist Andrew d'Angelo, and others I can't recall off the top of my head. Don't be afraid of the strange names, though... it's Bobby's working band and they mesh like you wouldn't believe. As for other projects, there's a pretty densely composed suite of long pieces on Zorn's Avant label called "Slay the Suitors" that's worth hearing. The early electronic soundtrack "Dull Bang, Gushing Sound, Human Shriek" is now reissued on Koch Jazz but is really best for the converted fan. (There's PROBABLY more early Bobby coming from the same source...) And Bobby has most recently been gigging with a big ensemble of rotating membership including the likes of Marty Ehrlich and Dave Douglas in the Knitting Factory's Tap Room, playing early fusion things like "Bitches Brew" and "Mwandishi"... as the band is a reaction to the somewhat stale offerings found in most of the other jazz clubs in New York, the band is called "The Horse You Rode In On." And of course Bobby's Gramavision stuff is essential. Bobby will have his own website soon, and within a year he's also going to be running a label along the lines of Zorn's Tzadik. BTW as for all the news about Dave Douglas projects, you may be interested to know that he's just signed to Arabesque, and the first record will be a followup to his Dolphy tribute on New World... this one's to be a Wayne Shorter tribute. The second will be a live Tiny Bell Trio disc to be recorded on his next European tour. Hope this is helpful!

So I guess I was a little off the mark in calling this a "slightly" different lineup of WCTF...:-) By the way, Patrice was absolutely right, the New World record by Dave Douglas is a tribute to Booker Little, not Eric Dolphy. As far as I know, there may very well be another Tiny Bell Trio disc due on Songlines prior to any releases by Arabesque. Someone asked about connnections between Masada and Cibo Matto. Aside from the Summerstage berth they share with Yoko Ono on July 6, Cibo sampler player (samplist?) Yuka Honda plays in a Dave Douglas band, and she has a solo album coming on Tzadik according to their brochure. So there are at least two examples.

And, I BELIEVE he also jammed with the Boredoms during their set. Moreover - I saw him play bass once(in the same club), in a hard rock/punkish/whateva context. It was rather funny, cause he accidentally dropped the bass - and the OWNER of the bass(who did not know Eyvind, but rather someone ELSE in the band) freaked out. The owner of the bass took it away away from him while the show was in progress. Suffice to say, the guy was PISSED.... Oh, and btw, Eyvind can't really play bass well.

The most important ones to know, besides Zorn, are Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Miniature (a trio with Berne and Hank Roberts) and his own Baron Down trio of saxophonist Ellery Eskelin and trombonist Steve Swell. The latter band is real important to Joey and has three records. If you see the JMT record "Tongue in Groove" grab it cause it's probably now out of print. There's also a record on New World ("Raised Pleasure Dot") and a new one on Zorn's Avant label the name of which I can't recall. All of these are worth it if you're in any way enamored of this amazing musician. The Laurie Anderson album he played on is, I believe, "Bright Red," but I don't remember his contribution as being especially prominent.

He had a great trio in the eighties with Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi and Marc Johnson. They put out two records, but my favorite is "Deep Down" on Soul Note. Also the record he did with Jim Hall and Tom Harrel is a keeper. It's called "These Rooms." But, going way back to 1976 is a great record by Carmen McRae on Blue Note called "At the Great American Music Hall." Joey is about 20 years old on this one, and he plays drumset and congas simultaneously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott McLemore - Drummer/Composer ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 15:45:59 -0400 From: Steve Smith To: Matthew Ross Davis Cc: zorn-list@xmission.com Subject: Re: Dave Douglas, Joey Barron Message-Id: <199605291945.PAA01167@soundwire.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" At 03:11 PM 5/29/96 -0400, I wrote: >>The Laurie Anderson album he played on >>is, I believe, "Bright Red," but I don't remember his contribution as being >>especially prominent.

Matthew is absolutely right in more accurately pointing out Joey's participation on "Bright Red," and I also admit that I'd completely forgotten Greg Cohen's participation. Thanks for the correction. I should watch my choice of wording more carefully. What I meant to say was that I didn't think "Bright Red" was really a prominent example of Joey's best work. But I also admit to having a real blind spot regarding Laurie's "song" albums, as opposed to her "monologue" albums. I'd be glad to hear other opinions, though...

To make a long story short, here's what the disk says "Here's the real John Zorn, acting as DJ in a specially produced one-hour radio program- spinning his favorite discs, revealing his influences, and discussing Naked City." I havn't really listened to it yet, but it sounds just like it is described, with him talking about his youth, and playing some pretty far out old stuff. And that's all in the first 15 minutes or so, which is all I've heard. The point of this all being that I am in a generous mood, and would be willing to spin copies of this for the first 5-10 people who e-mail me. The only thing that I ask is that you get me a blank tape, and a SASE, so I can tape it, throw it in the envelope, and zip it back to you. BTW if there is anyone with anything to trade (I'm really looking for live Zorn or Laswell), I'll make you a copy whether you are in the first 5-10 responses or not. Also, if you live in the chicago area, e-mail me and we can set something up. This is kind of a rare disk, from what I've seen, and would be willing to go out of my way to get copies into the public ear. Also, let's not start up the 'ethics of bootlegs' talk again. Music is meant to be shared. read icculus -------------------------------- End of zorn-list-digest Digest V96 Issue #26 ********************************************
