The 3 volumes of LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY (Big World 1001, 1002 and 1003) are
pretty poor as far as sound quality goes.  The larger group material is
especially bad--the horns sound like they're playing from backstage.  The mix
is not too great anytime.  Volume 1 (PUNK JAZZ) is based on the trio of Jaco,
Hiram Bullock (g) and Kenwood Dennard (d), with the addition of Alex Foster
(s), Butch Thomas (s), Delmar Brown (synth), Michael Gerber (p) and Jerry
Gonzalez (t and congas) on 5 of the 8 cuts.  Volume 2 (TRIO) features the
Pastorius-Bullock-Dennard trio.  The trio work on Volumes 1 and 2 is not as
bad sonically and some of the performances are pretty exciting.  There's no
indication of when these recordings were made.  Does anyone happen to know
when they were made???

The Jazzpoint recordings were made while Jaco was on tour in Europe in March,
1986.  Here are the that 3 I'm aware of:
 
"HONESTLY" SOLO LIVE (Jazzpoint 1032)
"LIVE IN ITALY" (Jazzpoint 1031)
STUTTGART ARIA (Bireli LaGrene and Jaco--Jazzpoint 1019)
 
These recordings are much better sonically than the BW recordings.  HONESTLY
features Jaco playing live solo performances that are totally improvised, but
incorporate bits and pieces of his songs and other tunes.  These recordings
are not from a single concert, but are a collection of Jaco's solo 
performances from the tour (as I understand it).  LIVE features Jaco with Bireli
LaGrene (g) and Tom Borocz (d).  ARIA is a studio recording made in Stuttgart
and features LaGrene and Jaco, as well as Vladislaw Sendecki (keys), Jan
Jankeje (synth. bass on 2 cuts), Peter Lubke (d) and Serge Ringolf (perc).
I can't tell from the liner notes whether this recording was made before or
after those made in Italy (they all say March, 1986).  The following claims
are made in the liner notes: "Several records of live concerts with Jaco
Pastorius have been released since his death.  But buying most of them is a
risk because of their bad sound quality.  The tracks on this album were
recorded on one of his last tours through Italy, using real studio equipment,
not a walkman."  I guess from what I've heard, I would have to agree.

Interesting; I've never *heard* the comment to get her inflection, but seeing
it in writing doesn't give me that impression at all.  So are you saying you
felt she was being somewhat arrogant and/or condescending, as opposed to merely
exasperrated at the plight of the poort musician who is not understood by her

ROVA turned an MIT classroom into a steam bath last night with a
generous and at times extreme show.  Larry Ochs was sick -- what's
amazing is that his standin sounded like he's been with them for
years.  Intense and impressive, though I still don't get the hand
signals.

On to Tower...

The new Wire is out and it includes a free CD of Candid artists.
Tower Boston has them for 3.25(!) a copy.  As usual, there are ads for
lots of new things available over there that we probably won't see
over here for months, if ever: a new AEC "Dreaming of the Masters
Suite", a second Lester Bowie Organ Ensemble release, "Dutch Masters"
with Mengelberg, Lacy, George Lewis and Han Bennink on Soul Note.  Aaargh.

Yet another David Murray has surfaced on Red Baron; it's a new quintet
with some people I've never heard of.

Black Saints and Soul Notes are back in stock, finally.  Nothing new,
but it's nice to see their great 80s releases available again (Murray,
Ra, Allen/Motian/Haden "Etudes", etc).  I wish they'd dig further back
into the catalog though.

Also seen but not tasted:
New Braxton Ensemble on Hat Art.
New batch of probably-gray-market Euro live Miles CDs.
New Scofield w/ Frisell, Haden, Joey Baron.

I'm tempted to pay the extra 5 bucks or so to get the new Cassandra
Wilson live release on video rather than CD.  Anyone seen it yet?

Ouch!! Who's being closeminded here?  Do you presume to know what

This kind of comment leads me to believe that :
a) you know an awful lot of bad musicians
b) you're God and you know what everyone is thinking
c) you think you're the only open minded person in the world
d) all of the above

As a matter of fact, some of the most brilliant musicians in the world 
are pretty musically close minded in that they even refuse to 
acknowledge music forms different from what they play.  In a sense, 
it's this closemindedness that allowed them to devote themselves to 
what they play and get damn good at it, too.

Ha ha ha ha, I love jazz purists.  

I love jazz and I love the blues and the idea that walking the bar is demeaning
is missing the point.  It's entertainment. It can also be a lot of fun for the
player if he likes to show off.  I play with a couple of saxophonists who
really enjoy walking the bar.  Two of them front their own mainstream jazz
combos when they aren't working with my band.  

Dignity?  Well, one you step into a bar to play, you are already compromising
art for commerce, aren't you?  But that's another rathole...

Gonzalo Rubalcaba.  Although last time I posted about him, I couldn't remember
his name either, so I approximated it as "Gibraltar Reubensandwich".  No one
corrected me...

His first CD, "Discovery", had Paul Motian instead of Jack DeJohnette.  Six of
one, a half dozen of the other.  They both complement Gonzalo extremely well.
However, I think I generally prefer "Discovery" to the one you heard, "The
Blessing".  "Giant Steps" and the first cut (I don't remember the name - a
Rubalcaba original, I think) are by far the most interesting things on "The
Blessing", pianistically speaking (Jack is fun to listen to throughout).  Most
of the rest is blander to me, consisting of adaptations of Latin ballads.  I
think "Discovery" is more consistently exciting.  Both are very good, though -
I don't mean to imply that I don't like "The Blessing".

Gonzalo, for those who haven't heard him, actually sounds a little bit like
Chick Corea (Akoustic Band style) in terms of use of technique and harmony.
While I am not a big fan of Chick's recent playing, Gonzalo to me is much more
fiery (authentic Cuban flavor...) and enjoyable to listen to, although he
has some of the same quantized-overly-clean playing is I dislike about Chick.

Yes. THE RAYMOND SCOTT PROJECT: vol. 1 - POWERHOUSE collect 20+ tracks from
radio broadcasts and rehearsals from Scott's archives. All from the late '30s.
Most of it is with his Quintette (actually a sextet - with film scorer John
Williams's dad Johnny Williams on drums! :) The CD is on Stash.

Good stuff - though bizarrely difficult to categorize. Is it jazz? They swing
and improvise, but the music is almost entirely separate from the jazz 
tradition. It sounds like cartoon music, thanks to Stalling, but it wasn't
written for them. Who knows/cares?

"outside" generally characterizes Chick Corea's everything....and much

Hi. I'm no expert on the Paris jazz scene, but my wife and I are also visiting Paris
this spring and I recently inquired the net regarding this very subject. Here's
what I know:
 
There are three 'entertainment' papers that will provide info about clubs and
acts, etc. - Pariscope, Officiel des Spectacles, and Figaroscope. I have some
personal experience with the Officiel des Spectacles and found it to be
quite informative. You can pick it up at most any newstand.

Clubs:

The Petit Opportun, located at 15, rue des Lavandieres-Sainte-Opportune in the
first arrondisement is highly recommended. It's near the Chatelet metro stop.
As I recall this is in an area that contains a number of clubs.

La Villa, located at 29, rue Jacob in the 6th arrondisement, near the Saint-Germain-des-Pres
metro stop. I know nothing of this place.

New Morning, 7-9, rue des Petites-Ecuries, in the 10th arr., near metro stop Chateau-d'Eau.
Again, I don't know anything about this place.

Musicians:
Barney Wilen - saxophonist, comes highly recommended.
Emanuel Bex  - organist, also recommended.
Andy Crocker - a very fine American trumpet player who has been in Paris for 10 years or
               so. He's a friend of mine, so if you see him, say HI! for me.

Hope this helps. Bon voyage!
