Hello,

I don't know if this is appropriate, but I just joined the list. (Some digests 
require this). My name is Glenn, originally from NYC, now residing in New 
Orleans. Big fan of Zorn, Horvitz, Laswell and so on. Last recording I 
purchased with JZ is "Sacrifist" by Praxis. Only JZ recording I can't listen 
to is (Can't remember the title)--plays the music of Ornette Coleman..

	[ "Spy vs Spy" is the title.  -Matt, zorn-mgr ]
Thanks

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This sounds like a better idea. I've been anxious to know what everyone
else thinks of Pigpen...

I notice that John Zorn is thanked in the Gary Lucas Gods and Monsters 
CD.  Have these guys ever played together?  Anybody know why Zorn is 
thanked by him?

Zeena Parkins' "Isabelle" CD on Avant is well worth listening
to. Comprising two pieces, "Isabelle" (1993) and "Hup!" (1992), the
disc tells two wonderful stories.

"Isabelle" is the story of a woman who converts to Islam early in her
life, travels to Algiers (?), is brought into a Sufi sect, writes
about Muslim society and culture, and dies in a flash flood before she
reaches the age of 30. Isabelle wandered alone dressed as a man at the
turn of the century, which was uncommon. (All from memory. If you have
the liner notes in front of you, correct me.)

The second piece, "Hup!" is shorter (about five segments instead of
10) and based on Wonder Woman and other American/European superheroes
of the '40s and '50s.

While I've not listened to "Hup!" the music in "Isabelle" is
wonderful, incorporating Muslim chant and string music from Zeena's
family, as well as effects, loops, etc.

Yow.
