Check out http://www.dnai.com/~jinetwk for some stuff about Partch,
including a list of other web resources.

Raven, where did you find the Newband recording with "Daphne"?
Mark, you should probably borrow my copy of "Li Po" before you spring
for your own.

PJ's it was a new CD in their "New Music" section. They also had another
another New Band rewcording with a shorter Partch piece on the CD.

I think the Partch tome that's on its way includes "Li Po". So, I'll
undoubtedly hear it.

DV- you asked what pieces were on _The Music of Harry Partch_ and I missed
the question, earlier. Allow me to respond, now...
* final scene and epilogue of _The Bewitched_ (1955)
* "Castor and Pollux" from _Plectra & Percussion Dances_ (1952)
* "The Letter" (1943)
* excerpts from the film _Windsong_ (1958)
* "And on the Seventh Day Petals Fell in Petaluma" (1963-64,66)

Yeah, I've heard that one. That was the CD from the public library that got
me hooked.

Have to check out Partch, haven't listened to his stuff. . .
Alot of what I play is "new improvised music" or however people are calling
it these days. . ."free jazz", whatever. I think it definitely started out
in some respects as sounding kind of flat and complex, like if you listen to
the album Free Jazz, but there's alot of directions it's gone since then. For
instance, I would consider "Bitches Brew" or "It's about that time" to be free
jazz, too, and there's nothing flat about either. . .or Marylin Crispel, or
Zorn, or Dave DOuglas, or wow, a whole slew of poeple. . .it *is* something
where there are extremes of quality. It's usualy either REALLY amazing at what
it's trying to be, or REALLy bad. . .
I just tgot a couple of albums with Bill Frisel, he's such a beautiful amazing
player, man, I got the one with the violinist and the tunes from the Far
Side(forgot the name) and Paul Motion On Broadway(which has him on it) whew,
he's so amazing. . .
Anyone else listen to Orange than Light Blue? Or Only a Mother? Or the Art
Ensemble of Chicago? Or the New York Composers Orchestra?

Katt:
I've got that Frisell album. Great one!
I was sorely tempted to buy his new one, which is apparently a
bluegrass/country outing, can you believe that?

Yeah, I'd heard about that-it must be really surreal, spacey bluegrass. . .

I think the new Bill Frisell is in one of the listening stations at
Schoolkids; it was either there or Borders. It didn't float my boat,
but...

Borders I think... It's sort of DaDa country like Robin Holcome.

Just heard Bitches Brew a few weeks ago, and it completely blew me away.
Speaking of weird bluegrass, could someone reccomend me a Bela Fleck album?

Well I like the stuff he does with Tony Trischka better than his solo stuff
which is a little smooth and new age for my taste. The Tony Trischka CD
"World Turning" is wonderful and has an intersting mix of bluegrass, banjo
jazz, and banjo alternative music with Peter Buck of REM playing Bazouki,
and members of the Violent Femmes as well.

Actually, a really cool Bela Fleck album is the recently released _Tabula
Rasa_ on Water Lily Acoustics, featuring Fleck on banjo, V.M. Bhatt on slide
guitar, and Jie-Bien Cheng on erhu. It's wonderful, and prompted me to look
for a Jie-Bien Cheng album, as well... (but I suppose this is leaning towards
the world music conference...)

Hmm...new age banjo could be frightening, but I think "World Turning" does
sound more interesting.

Based on Raven's suggestion, I picked up a copy of Tony Trischka's
WORLD TURNING disc this weekend. I misread response #63; there
doesn't appear to be any Bela Fleck appearance on this disk, though
just about everybody else in the world is on it :)
(Alison Kraus! Syd Straw!! William S. Burroughs!!!)
First play reaction: very nice, even if we are most likely discussing
it in the wrong item...
I'm not really aware of Trishka, so if someone wants to enlighten me
about his career...

But, Bela Fleck is, indeed, on _Tabula Rasa_, and it's a very cool album...

Hmmm I thought Fleck was on at least one track on "World Turning," I know
he was Bela Fleck's teacher for a while. I just looked he isn't on the
album. Well it's a good CD anyway. :-)

Bela Fleck just put out a two-disk set with a whole BUNCH of people, Branford
Marsalis, and Chick Corea, and oh, whole bunmch of others. It's an amazing
disk, all live. . .it's called LIve Art.

Well, Borders *proper* has no tyaste-they're a huge media conglomerate that
bows out to agencies like everyone else. But som,e of the people who work
there know their stuff.
