I must confess in this respect that I'm a little disappointed not to have received any report from Gong's US tour, and generally very few gig reports. Maybe I just need to repeat it from time to time, but YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NEEDED ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Eric Rutten <Eric.Rutten@inrialpes.fr> Subject: Wyatt and Kip Hanrahan? Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 14:18:02 +0200 Recently I stumbled upon a several-CD box called "Anthology" of Kip Hanrahan (a kind of crazy New York Jazzman), who worked with dozens of musicians on his records, some well know (e.g. Jack Bruce, Carla Bley,...), and here on the cover of the box appeared also the name of Robert Wyatt. Does anyone know more? I know a few Hanrahan records, but none with Wyatt playing. Which album is it on? only this anthology? does Wyatt sing, or just play percussion? thanx, Eric (who am quite a completist, actually :-) [This message was also posted to a newsgroup and received the following reply from "John H.R.":] > AFAIK, the only collaboration between Robert Wyatt and Kip Hanrahan is> on the tune "Curtsy" (lyrics by Paul Haines, music by Robert Wyatt) from> the 1994 2-disc set _Darn It!: Poems by Paul Haines, Musics by Many_> (American Clave 1014/18). "Curtsy" has Wyatt on keyboards, percussion,> and voice, and Evan Parker on soprano sax. The liner notes say "project> and recordings guided by Kip Hanrahan," IOW he produced the project. [To which Eric replies the following:] This one I know indeed, a very beautiful song, and the rest of the 2-CD is extremely varied but also very nice in general. So I have my answer now; I was just wondering whether I had missed something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "David Voci" <david_voci@tcibr.com> Subject: Fred Frith musings Date: 01 Jun 99 09:27:23 -0800 Hullo one and all, Just wanted to thank father time for allowing for the complete Frith/Kaiser recordings(instrumental)to be issued on Cuneiform in a 2CD package entitled "Friends and Enemies" as seen in last(#128)issue. This CD is filled up to the limit with 79+ minutes on both cd's (I love when record companies do this and hate when they could couple 2 lps on 1 CD and don't). The only change from previous compilations is that on Disc Two, the song 'Fifteen Blues' had an earlier title of 'One Eyed Theater'. The appended, 1999 material is a tease(a good tease) and one would hope that messrs. Frith/Kaiser are offering this as a precursor to a forthcoming full length CD release. I would also like to compliment the 1998 release from Massacre entitled 'Funny Valentine' as this CD, contrary to things I've heard, is stupendous... shows maturity but at the same time, is pretty much in the same vein as it's 20 year predecessor, just more polished. Fred Frith is really hard to date musically and his recent stuff is sometimes hard to distinguish from his early stuff in alot of cases. Received a memo from our friends at ESD, and as many of you already know, Henry Cow's 'Unrest' is either being remastered???? or already is. Do we really need another version of the same tracks at this point? Didn't HC archive their live shows onto tape and put them into vaults as alot of musicians did which have been released onto CD in current times? As I mentioned before, Henry Cow is the kinda band that could/would do something different to their set list every night. A couple of inane/mindless thoughts follow...1) Was the 'Knitting Factory' in NYC named after the diverse artwork on Henry Cow's first three LP's? and 2) Whenever I see FF(fast forward)on a VCR or Tape Deck I immediately think of Fred Frith...is this subliminal/freudian/or whatever? Enjoy Everything, dv ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: East Side Digital <chill@noside.com> Subject: Unrest remaster US release date Date: Fri, 04 Jun 1999 17:37:27 -0500 For your information The remastered version of Henry Cow's "Unrest" should be in US/Canadian stores July 13th, or a bit sooner. catalog # ESD 81412 same as the ReR version (i.e. the two extra tracks from the first pressing CD are removed) http://www.noside.com/esd/henrycow.html - Drew Miller / ESD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Heilobo@aol.com Subject: news Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 06:46:46 EDT Hello Aymeric, Here are two pieces of information I want to give to you and all your readers: 1. Bill Bruford´s Earthworks will be playing at the 3rd of july in Worms (Germany, a town at the river Rhine between Mainz and Mannheim) at 22.00 p.m. This concert is part of a jazz-festival there, from 2nd to 4th july. Other contibutors are AL Jarreau, Les Haricots Rouges, Brian Auger, Maxine Weldon, Barry Finnerty, Melva Houston & Billy Cobham among others. Contact: http://www.worms-tickets.de 2. There is a beautiful version of "Shipbuiling" on Mr. McFall's Chamber:"Like The Milk". You can get it too on the sampler "Sometimes God Smiles / The Young Persons´ Guide to Discipline Vol.II", featuring the music of the label DGM (King Crimson etc.). This is a low priced cd (I paid 7,50 EUR) and worth checking out.
