notes:
-I too was happy with my show today. I agree with the general concensus
that there's more really good new stuff now than there's been in a
while. I liked all the new stuff I played today, especially the us
maple, tyrades, rope, winfred e eye, popular shapes, and scout niblett.
-steven jesse bernstein was a poet who died in 1991, but recorded some
of his poetry before dying. he then gave the tapes to steve fisk of
pell mell who made music to go with it. only one song was finished
before bernstein's death (not the one I played), but he approved of it
and the project went ahead. the results are brilliant, one of the
better music/poetry combinations I've heard.
-blacktop was mick collins band between the gories and the dirtbombs.
the song was a beefheart cover. eventually I'll be reviewing that for
dusted.
-now for my matthew shipp rant: matthew shipp needs to not play on
every album on thirsty ear. he's run out of ideas and interesting
contributions. case in point, the new david s ware record. all the
players (beyond shipp) are phenomenal. mat maneri is probably the best
non-bass sting player in jazz today. but then shipp has to come in with
his korg synthesizer and drench almost every song in lots of cheesy fake
string sounds. I can imagine really loving this album if shipp were
even to just play on a regular piano. but I just can't get past the
awful fake string tones. shipp needs to either step away from the piano
for a while or just ditch those fucking synthesizers. I don't want him
to butcher any more potentially good records. end rant. the song I
played was saved because it's just david s ware and guillermo e brown.
-the jonestown song is a pop group cover.
