I assume JZ is on it. Any input would >be appreciated.. Yes, same line up. It's way different than the other 2, _GOAV_, and _BS_. First of all, it's 2 discs, both clock in around 40 or so minutes. Compare that to the other 2 that barely make 25 minutes! I just got it, and only have about 1.5 listens. It not such an all out attack like the other two. There's some quiet time between the jamming. Harris is the real star, so far. Amazing drum work. The second disk is titlied _Ambient_. There's not much to this, lots of spacey music, with the guys fading in every now and again.

Hey there-- I've tried my ass off to find any Zorn T-shirts, anybody know where I can mail order them? I wrote Shimmy Disc for a catalog, but they had a distinct lack of Naked City stuff, much to my dismay. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Evilshawn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From awc837@lulu.acns.nwu.edu Mon Apr 10 14:14:18 1995 Subject: ground zero I just saw Ground Zero play with Otomo Yoshihide in ChicaGO with the Contortions and Gastr del sol and Otomo honestly made the following bands seem like they were diluted. I get a lot out of Jim O'rourke's stuff but on the same bill as Otomo his band couldn't compare in power or sonic effect. If you have the opportunity to see Ground Zero live you better go or you are stealing from yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From CuneiWay@aol.com Mon Apr 10 14:33:00 1995 Subject: Re: Third Person Mike Haber (haber@virtu.sar.usf.edu) wrote: >I recently got a disc called Knitting Factory Goes to the >Northwest (for >the Sonny Sharrock tracks) which included some material >from Third Person (>a Marc Ribot project) which I really dug.

Third Person is actually Tom Cora (cello) & Samm Bennett's (drums) project. There is always a 3rd, invited person (hence the name of the group). I believe there is just one CD by them (out on Knitting Factory). Re: Chris Cochrane - I'd start with the two great No Safety CDs on Knitting Factory. He's also now a member of Curlew, & will be appearing on their upcoming release (as yet untitled).

Any idea how tickets will sell for these guys? My guess is >that they won't sell out. I'll see you there! the black cat folks usually lock the doors at around 550 people. i doubt there are 550 painkiller fans in d.c. & environs. neither of the two masada shows there sold out--i'd say there were maybe 200 people. i wouldn't worry much about being able to get in. for those who will be at the black cat, i have some good news: the sound there has recently gotten a lot better, both for performers and listeners. we played there on 4/1 and it was by far the best sound we've ever had there. dante got a new crossover and fixed a bad speakers-out-of-phase problem that they had had for a long time but not realized. you can now hear the vocals, and there is much more clarity to everything else (as a bass player, i had suffered a lot with the low-end mud in that room). we should actually be able to hear all the sick shit laswell will throw at us.... jy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From zampino@panix.com Mon Apr 10 15:34:13 1995 Subject: Re: Third Person At 01:59 PM 4/10/95, wrote: >I recently got a disc called Knitting Factory Goes to the Northwest (for >the Sonny Sharrock tracks) which included some material from Third Person >(a Marc Ribot project) which I really dug. Can anybody give me info on >which Third Person albums to look for first? How about other projects >from Chris Cochrane? Thanks much. I don't have the Third Person cd in front of me, but I thought that Third Person was Tom Cora and Sam Bennett, and the 'third person' is someone that they add for any given performance. The third person keeps changing, and the cd I have is preformances with various 3rd people from different shows. Chris Cochrane is probably best heard via his band No Safety, which includes Zeena Parkins and Ann Rupel, amongst others. No Safety is one of my favorite bands, alongside Skeleton Crew in it's wonderfully erratic but precisely controlled changes.
