Pretty different sound, IMO! cya brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From gersh54@matrix.newpaltz.edu Fri Mar 24 14:56:15 1995 Subject: Cartoon hey there.... i saw the cartoons that you are talking about, the out of print cd....... does anyone who has the CD want to send me a copy???? :)...i'd REALLY appreiciater(sic) it......i have some Zorn bootlegs.....we could trade, whatever....either reply here and let me know or contact me directly at: gersh54@matrix.newpaltz.edu thanks.....

Trumpet, sax, bass, and drums. Masada has reconfigured in several different configurations, and although Ribot hasn't recorded with the band, he's played in a couple of versions. I have to admit that I'm not big on Masada, having seen three different groupings over the past year and a half. Ribot, like the rest, was notably restrained when I saw him with them. > >Zorn and Yamatsuke Eye play the Knitting Factory on 3/16. > > Did you go? How did you like it? Couldn't make it, unfortunately. And Arthur Doyle was playing the Cooler the same night, and I didn't make that either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From dustpile@community.net Fri Mar 24 17:16:38 1995 Subject: Re: ZORN DIGEST #38 > > I'm sure many of us are looking for that disc. > > BTW: One of the soon to be released FILM WORKS > discs will have some similiar sounding material > on it. > > cheerio, > mike rizzi Do you know which release ? eric --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From jeff@internet.net Sat Mar 25 01:04:29 1995 Subject: Re: Trey vs. BucketHead Mike Rizzi said: > I can pretty safely say that Trey is not BucketHead. > BucketHead is much taller. Trey is a great player > though and is often in the SF versions of Cobra. Mike is quite right. Buckethead has not played under any other name since he abandoned his "real" name (which can only be found on a Henry Kaiser CD).

It is important to keep in mind that with Zorn and the other Downtown folks all being so incestuous that many different permutations are experimented with before setting a final (studio) line-up. Which leads me to my next point: someone else said they saw Xu Feng in SF a couple of years ago. I wonder if the structure of that version is the same as the recent one. Anyone know? Lastly, Painkiller is coming to my humble town (Chapel Hill, NC) in early May. This probably means a full fledged tour is in effect, since we hardly rate such a show under normal circumstances. Does anyone have tour dates? Is there a tour date source, online or otherwise, for Zorn and these other folks? Thanks for playing.

Does anyone know of how to find out where John Zorn will be playing in any of his various projects? I was lucky enough to see Masada once, and I just found out that Painkiller are playing in Chapel Hill NC in May (a lot of good that does me - I live in Rochester, New York.) Is there any source that lists touring schedules for Zorn? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks, Mitchell (epiphany@eznet.net) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From jeff@internet.net Sat Mar 25 20:14:16 1995 Subject: Re: Cynical Hysterie Hour rizzi@tfs.com > Ha!

Mike forgot to mention that I made him wear rubber gloves while he touched it :-) I forgot to mention in my earlier post on this that when I returned to Japan and unsuccessfully tried to find more copies, I found a 3" CD single off the album (!) that I have never heard about elsewhere. This is in Patrice's Zorn discography. I also found other music from the same cartoon show, but it is by Picky Picnic, and not all that interesting.

I bought my ticket already- 10 minutes after I saw the schedule. Now if I could just scoop out my pants... This sure is a unique sentiment; but I am interested in getting a copy of Elegy. I have a number of interesting things to trade for it, including such joy as a Masada Boot and a conversation I had with the old guy himself afterwards- plus a tape of Greg Cohen opening the backstage door real fast and knocking the tape recorder almost out of my friend's hand. Email me and we'll set it up..... -Ben Tropy, Verbs of Prey --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From gastarit@comm.net Tue Mar 28 12:43:31 1995 Subject: ? Does JZ have any future plans recording-wise with Laswell ? I have Praxis' "Sacrifist" which is pretty wild...Never heard Painkiller though. Also, does screaming Y. Eye ever actually sing ? He seems to be very distracting at times. Occasionally (IMHO) he has a tendancy to kill a good tune. [ *definitely* check out Painkiller. Not anything like Praxis, though. -Matt ] Thanks, Glenn <---- End Included Message ----> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
