Subject: Signals

When I saw Naked City at Slim's in San Francisco in '89 or '90, Zorn was
definitely using hand signals somewhat similar to Zappa's. For the
jump-cuts he would hold up the number of fingers for the next section & (I
think) give a downbeat, like "go to section 3...NOW." He would also hold
up 4 fingers and lower them one at a time to count a new tempo, like a
silent equivalent of a punk singer yelling "1 2 3 4!"

This is just my own hazy recollection & conjecture. More stuff on Zorn's
conduction techniques can be found in the liner notes to Cobra (HatHut
version) & Locus Solus (Rift)...
