Any recommendations for Fred's own records, 7/4?
I have a few (Speechless, Gravity, Aliens, Traffic Continues + the Art Bears box).
I don't care for the more 'noise' related things.
Especially interested in hearing a disc of more recent music.
There's a documentary that came out a couple of years ago on Evelynn Glennie, the Scottish (I think, or is she Irish....?) percussionist who is deaf. Frith did a lot of the music and there are several scenes of the two of them improvising together. I really enjoyed it. I can't remember the name of the film. And there's also "Step Across the Border" a documentary about Frith himself from 10 or so years ago.

'Step Across the Border" is available on Winter + Winter, and it's fantastic.

Picked it up yesterday at Target. I rather like disc one so far.
-
Wow, what a phenomenal line up.
Jim, for you, I suggest seeing Playtime on a screen some day, and carefully listen to the sound. It's one of the most brilliant uses of sound with picture ever. Not sure if you'll ever have the chance, but that's one way to try once more. I think it's worth the attempt.

Just got this:
Dear Friend,
The next two releases will be ready October 22nd, 2008:
hatOLOGY 670
Joe Morris Bass Quartet
High Definition
with Taylor Ho Bynum -cornet, flugelhorn & trumpet
Allan Chase – saxophones
Luther Gray – drums
Total Time 53:25 DDD
Barcode 752156067023
Listen to the music of Joe Morris and one is immediately struck by a few things.
First, there is his sense of rhythmic and melodic articulation; a sense of phrasing
brimming with potent energy and focused resolve. Then there is an uncanny
ability to balance freedom and groove. Finally, there is his ability to pull it all
together in structures that bring out particularly inspired playing by his collaborators…
With this release, Morris and crew cement their status as musicians from a generation
who have fully absorbed a polyglot view of the jazz tradition. They have the
commitment, experience, and the innate understanding to seamlessly pull from
both inside and outside, from swing to freedom. But they also have the dedication
and creativity to make it their own. It is how they pull together all these disparate
threads into a unified vocabulary indelibly stamped with their own sensibilities and
personalities that makes this such a riveting statement. – Michael Rosenstein
Écouter la musique de Joe Morris, c’est être immédiatement frappé par un certain
nombre de choses. Tout d'abord, on remarque son sens de la rythmique et de
l’articulation mélodique; un sens du phrasé débordant de puissante énergie et de
grande détermination. Ensuite, il y a cette étonnante capacité à trouver un équilibre
entre la liberté et le groove. Et enfin, cette capacité à rassembler le tout dans des
structures qui font ressortir le jeu particulièrement inspiré de ses complices…
Dans cet album, Morris et son équipe cimentent leur statut de musiciens d’une
génération par une approche polyglotte parfaitement assimilée de la tradition du jazz.
Ils font autant preuve d’application et d’expérience que de compréhension innée;
ce qui leur permet de développer un jeu homogène à la fois de l'intérieur et de
l'extérieur, du swing jusqu’à la liberté. En outre, ils disposent de l’engagement et de
la créativité nécessaires pour se rapproprier entièrement cette musique. Mais, c’est
en fin de compte la manière dont ils rassemblent tous ces fils isparates en un
vocabulaire unifié, marqué de manière indélébile du sceau de leurs propres
sensibilités et personnalités, qui fait de cet album une affirmation aussi captivante.
– Michael Rosenstein
Hört man die Musik von Joe Morris, gibt es einiges, das einem sogleich auffällt.
Zunächst ist da sein ausgeprägtes Gefühl für rhythmische und melodische
Artikulation; die ungezügelte Energie und konzentrierte Entschlossenheit in
seiner Phrasierung. Dann das gekonnte Ausbalancieren von Freiheit und Groove.
Und schließlich seine Fähigkeit, all das in Strukturen zusammenfließen zu lassen,
die seine Mitstreiter zu spielerischen Höhenflügen inspirieren …
Mit dieser Veröffentlichung festigen Morris und Band ihren Status als Musiker
einer Generation, die sich eine polyglotte Sicht der Jazztradition zu eigen gemacht
hat. Sie spannen also mit großem Engagement, der nötigen Erfahrung und un–
umstrittener Kompetenz einen stilistisch weiten Bogen von Swing bis Freiheit und
gehen doch voller Leidenschaft und Kreativität einen eigenen Weg. Denn wie hier
all diese unterschiedlichen Fäden zu einer gemeinsamen musikalischen Sprache
verwoben werden, die von der Sensibilität und Persönlichkeit der Musiker un–
auslöschlich geprägt ist, das macht diese CD zu einem solch fesselnden Statement.
– Michael Rosenstein
hatOLOGY 675
Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet
Asphalt Flowers Forking Paths
with Matt Baudet – reeds; Jessica Pavone – viola
Mary Halvorson – guitar, Evan O'Reilly – guitar
Tomas Fujiwara – drums
Total Time 44:15 DDD
Barcode 752156067528
Here’s a group of musicians who are making a commitment to the long haul.
They are creating music for the third millennium that is savvy enough to draw
on the forking paths of the tradition while finding room for their own individual
voices. Get Bynum started on this group and he responds with his usual
enthusiastic eloquence. “Whatever balance I am able to strike between tradition
and individuality I really owe to the nurturing community of musicians I came
up under.” This set is a tribute to that journey. – Michael Rosenstein
Ces musiciens prennent un vrai engagement sur le long terme. Ils s’appliquent
à créer la musique du troisième millénaire, une musique suffisamment avertie
pour s'appuyer sur les multiples ramifications de la tradition tout en trouvant
l’espace pour leurs propres voix. Lancez Bynum sur l’importance du groupe et
il vous répondra avec son éloquence enthousiaste habituelle : « Quel que soit
l'équilibre auquel je suis en mesure de parvenir entre tradition et individualité,
je reste totalement redevable envers la communauté féconde de musiciens
derrière laquelle j’avance. » Cet album est un hommage à ce parcours.
– Michael Rosenstein
Hier ist eine Gruppe von Musikern und Musikerinnen, die nicht in kurzen Zeiträumen
denken. Sie machen Musik für das dritte Jahrtausend, die sich geschickt auf weit–
verzweigte Traditionslinien stützt, während sie den individuellen Stimmen genügend
Raum zur Entfaltung lässt. Und wenn Bynum einmal diesbezüglich loslegt, dann mit
der ihm eigenen enthusiastischen Eloquenz: „Welchen Mittelweg auch immer ich
zwischen Tradition und Individualität finde, ich verdanke ihn der nährenden
Gemeinschaft von Musiker und Musikerinnen, bei denen ich mich voll entfalten
konnte.“ Die Musik auf dieser CD zollt dieser Reise Tribut. – Michael Rosenstein

I'm seeing her with Philip Glass!!!
That wouls be fun. Where is that?
Allan, she has a lot more going on than one line from one song. And I think she's pretty great live.
UCSB In February. Part of series which also includes Sonny Rollins.
Wow, close enough to seek out....

I'm going to see them tomorrow in San Pedro.
Need to find some pace to eat before hand.

While in a hotel pool, you are trapped underwater by the powerful suction of the pool's pump, and you drown to death.
I have the same fate.

Does the Complete Sun on Bear Family include much of that? Or are the Bear sets only by artist?
-
I've got a couple of the Joe Bataan's (hopefully the rest will crop up). I've got a really interesting Fania remix sampler, but it doesn't seem to be on eMusic yet.
Another label that looks veeerry interesting is Emusica with something called Tito Puente Complete 78s and De Panama a Nueva York by Ruben Blades. I'll probably get me some dls from them as well.
Emusica seems to be Fania as well - some things get posted as one and others as the other, but who knows why.

It's not "needs" based strictly, but they do have a tendency to give awards to folks who have some larger community or education thing going on that could also use support. I think Zenon is very involved in jazz education.
-
And ask him what he thinks of Cecil Taylor, and whether he thinks Cecil's work is "jazz" or not.
Does he have an interest in improvised music that doesn't fit his definition of jazz? and in what ways specifically? Who does he find exploring interesting avenues these days?
What does he feel is important in the act of performance, and how he prepares (or not)?
What methods does he use (if any) to help him access his muse (for lack of a better term) in live improvisation?
-
Uncle Skid - you hit it on the head and it's funny, because I decided this afternoon that our conversation will indeed center on the tradition- one of the things I think I will imply is that the reason he does not like rock and pop music is because he has limited his exposure to vernacular music that comes from that tradition - that the African American musical traditions that many of us covet go wider (if not deeper) than the blues - was thinking I might play him some music if I can drag along some kind of boom box - hope to talk about hillbilly and other country traditions that crossover from the songster tradition to not only the blues but gospel music and string bands of all colors; hope also to make the point that the blues is only one of the streams that these black and white musics come from -
we'll see how it goes..........................
If you go this route he'll tell you that music is like a gumbo and New Orleans is the nucleus.
Ask him about the universiality of jazz music and how it has expanded from just american folk music to encompass folk music from many different cultures.
If he does fall upon rote answers, then press him for detailed examples, and then address questions raised by those examples.
Ask him why he thinks there needs to be a defined notion of jazz, and then follow-up appropriately.

Roscoe's is indeed the place for chix & waffles - though I gotta say, as much as it pains me, I'm almost always slightly disappointed after eating there. It never lives up to my lofty expectations.
I agree. I actually think Roscoe's isn't that good.
-
Well, I really hope they resist going to downloads only. What an awful way to acquire music! Give me the entire physical product please.
Honestly, with the ECMs, there's not much to go with the "physical" part - just the artwork. No liner notes or anything that can't be easily found on places like AMG.
I mean the disc itself. I don't trust hard drives or CD-Rs.
With emusic, you don't have to trust hardware. Everything you have ever paid for is saved in your profile. If your hard drive fails, you've got everything "backed up" on their server.
Then you just have to worry whether they will keep the label or album. I downloaded one, lost the media when a drive failed, and was unable to redownload it because they stopped carrying the album. I have successfully re-downloaded a bunch of others though.

I know three people who have had laser surgery (although I can't speak to what conditions), and all of them found it to be a great success and are very happy with the results.

I've never been able to become a DIME member - always maxed out.

Some of the CDs in that set are very good, but others... you can hear better examples on other labels, especially Institut du Monde Arabe. (distributed in the US by Harmonia Mundi.) I'd post a link, but unfortunately, there isn't one available.
Auvidis and Inedit have some wonderful releases of music from various parts of the Muslim world, too.
I was lucky and was able to make copies of that series after a company for which I worked bought them when we made a show called "Inside Islam" for the History Channel.

Dear Friend,
In our 10th year we move within Basel. Our landlord needs the space.
We have to move the office and the archives (over 30 years of files, tapes and...)
which involves a lot of time and unexpected high expenses too.
Therefor NO September 2008 releases!
Cher ami,
En cette 10ème année d’activité, nous changeons d’adresse à Bâle. L’actuel
propriétaire souhaite récupérer son espace. Nous avons à déménager le bureau
et les archives (plus de 30 années de données, bandes, etc ...), ce qui nécessite
beaucoup de temps et occasionne des frais élevés inattendus.
Par conséquent, AUCUNE sortie en septembre 2008!
Lieber Freund
Im 10. Jahr in Basel ziehen wir um. Unser Hausbesitzer hat Eigenbedarf
angemeldet. Der Umzug des Büros und der Archive (über 30 Jahre Dokumente,
Verträge, Tonbänder etc...) benötigen einen grossen Zeitaufwand und es
entstehen auch unerwartete hohe Kosten.
Deshalb KEINE Veröffentlichungen im September 2008!
Back in October 2008 presenting two releases of important future artists:
Retour en octobre 2008 avec la présentation de deux futurs artistes d’importance:

Thanks. I thought there was one as well, but couldn't find it. I think I did my search just in the Reissue forum though, not the Mosaic & box set.

Any get the new reissue of the box of Getz's Bossa Nova albums? How's it compare to the previous incarnation?

Not concerned.
But also they weren't trying to make any mini black holes yet. They just sent some particles around. No collisions intended for a few months, at least.
I came across...
