 Hello out there!
 I am a Julia Fordham fan,one of the few in Finland.
I have bougt all the three records of JF(JF,Porcelain
and Swept).I would like to know if there are any videos
of JF,especially if there is a some kind of single video
collection available somewhere.Of course I would also like
to hear about any concert videos available.
 Julia Fordham is not exactly very popular here in Finland,
and I have only just managed to get the three records,having
spent lots of time in music shops.I would thus like to hear
any news and information about this wonderful lady.Is there
a new record coming?What singles have been published?etc.
 If YOU can help me,please contact me by writing to this group
or sending email to ppr@phoenix.oulu.fi .
 Meanwhile,Merry Xmas...

I know.  He was free to recommend some recording by Mingus, Clark or any
other jazz bass player to turn it into a useful thread that someone later
would followup with "talk it to rec.music.bluenote".  I don't recall if
I mentioned Ron Carter's "Spanish Blue" album in my reference to Carter
but if you like spanish influenced jazz it's a good one.  It also contains
some good performances by Hubert Laws and Billy Cobham.

Actually, that was me.  I *did* say "in his own style".  Hey, that's his

Strangely enough, what came to mind reading the naked lyrics was not
bomp and hip twitch Elvis but John Cale and his very un-bluesy
tribute to paranoid alienation, complete with Eno blips and a
wailing chorus from Hades.  Look for the album _Slow Dazzle_,
one of whose other highlights is a morbid and bizarre Cale monologue.

By the way, Cale has a new album out, _Fragments of a Rainy Season_,
which according to "Les Inrockuptibles" is "optimistic in outlook."
A review shall be forthcoming in the New Year.

We must agree to disagree here, then.  I enjoyed this album immensely.
My quickie review/comments for WMEB purposes follow here.

->Hal Willner has put together an odd cast of characters to pay tribute
->to jazz legend Charles Mingus.  Some luminaries from the New York
->avante/jazz/noise scene serve as a core group or house band for the project.
->Among them are Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, Art Baron, Don Alias and Michael
->Blair.  Others who pitch in on various instruments here and there are
->Don Byron, Gary Lucas, Vernon Reid, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards.
->Lending their throats to the project are Robbie Robertson, Elvis
->Costello, Henry Rollins, Chuck D., Richards, Bernard Fowler, Diamanda
->Galas and Dr. John.  The results are often amazing, shrinking the
->music to its essence and then expanding freely in the directions
->that individual performers pursue.  These performances combine raw,
->primordial sounds and feelings with equal amounts of elegance, at the
->expense of neither.  This is one of the best releases of 1992.  It is
->easily the best compilation album of 1992.

All IMHO, of course...

Nasty?  It was in fact quite informative.  Stanley Clark is hardly 
representative of great jazz bass players.  Even great black jazz
bass players.  Anyone that limits their listening to jazz bass players
to Stanley Clark and doesn't listen to Charles Mingus is doing themselves
a disservice. Once again, Ray, in his own style has brought up the name
of an artist that anyone with a real interest in a particular form of music
should listen to.  For that he should be commended and not accused of 
being nasty.

Nobody's braggin'.  If you don't know about Charles Mingus and you're 
talking about jazz bass players you don't know shit.

rec.audio is the place to ask.  anyway, check out the Celestion 3

(~$250).  optional stuff for mounting available, too, though i've

I got quite a few replies (OK, some extraordinarily responsible,
mature, intelligent inviduals who didn`t bother to read my article
still posted their answers to rec.music.misc instead of mailing me). I
then compiled a list, posted it and then received some further
additions. Because I thought there were enough revisions to warrant
the posting of a revised list, here it is.

And no, The Bangles, L7, Throwing Muses, Runaways, Breeders etc, don't
fall into the category of "male bands except for a female bass player"
no matter how many times you post...

Some names are still missing, so corrections are of course still
welcome - but remember, boys and girls, ONLY BY E-MAIL!!!

The bands in this list either have or _at one point in their career_
have had a sole female member who was a bassist:

None other than the DAVE CLARK FIVE.  That was their big ballad... they're
probably more well known for their "stomp" type music ie. "Glad All Over" and
"Bits and Pieces."  Unfortunately, none of their music has been reissued (!!!)

    Bruce Springsteen's _Human Touch_.

    I was once told by a friend that the reason that I couldn't, and never
    would be able to, enjoy the Boss' work is that I just didn't relate, 
    and he was probably right.  My childhood, teenage, and early adult ex-
    periences were probably as far from life, as experienced in Asbury Park, 
    NJ, as they could get.  

    I've also been told, by die-hard fans, that this is a crummy album as 
    Springsteen releases go, but I don't care.  Maybe the Boss and I fin-
    ally have something in common.  All I know is that I like _Human Touch_ 
    and was shocked when I made this discovery.

Moon Martin was also in the country rock outfit Southwind who recorded one
(maybe two?) LPs for Blue Thumb in the early seventies.  

I recall "Rolene" being a minor hit and of course Robert Palmer's cover of "Bad
Case of Loving You" is probably keeping Moon in groceries today...
