"Give me a C-Major chord and I'll give you a thousand melodies." - Marc Bolan

Highlighting music by some of the greatest Jewish composer in the past several decades, The Great Jewish Music series has paid tribute to first Burt Bacharach, Serge Gainsbourg and now British glam-rock pioneer Marc Bolan. Named as a primary influence by seminal punk rockers like the Ramones and Johnny Rotten, Marc Bolan and his group T. Rex forged a new music in the early 70's, confounding audiences and critics alike with his mercurial style changes and experimentations. Rejecting the complex time signatures and advanced harmonies in fashion at the time, Bolan went back to the basics, bringing a primitive raunchy edge to his colorful cast of fantasy characters. This compilation features a spectacular lineup of some of the most adventurous and creative rockers around, and is sure to be one of the most popular CD presented on the Tzadik label to date.

Born in Reykjavik, Iceland 1966, Skúli Sverrisson studied bass and composition with Jón Sigurðsson and made his first recording with his group Pax Vobis in 1984. He later appeared on over 30 recordings with various Icelandic artists.

In 1987 Sverrisson attended Berklee College of Music in Boston where he received his B.M. degree. During that time he quickly became a first-call bassist in the music scene performing with several notable artists such as Bob Moses, Danilo Perez, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Mino Cinelu and started his ongoing collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Carsten Tiedemann.

In 1989, he Formed Mo Boma with Carsten Tiedemann, a group that later included Jamshied Sharifi. Mo Boma have recorded four albums for Extreme, "Jijimuge" and the acclaimed trilogy, "Myths of the Near Future - Part One, Myths Of The Near Future: Part Two, Myths Of The Near Future Part Three".

In 1989 he also joined Sony recording artists Full Circle and recorded with them the critically acclaimed album "Secret Stories", voted best jazz album at the Boston Music Awards. Sverrisson toured with them in both Europe and U.S.A.

Through his interest in the music, film and writers of the avant garde, he became aware of the importance of improvisation as means of creating new music. Working with composer/trumpeter Leo Smith also inspired new ideas in improvisation. Sverrisson has improvised with Derek Bailey, Peter Brötzmann, Tim Berne, John Lurie, Nana Vasconselos and numerous other notable musicians.

Sverrisson joined The Allan Holdsworth Band in 1991 and toured the world with the group. He performed on the 1994 recording, "Hard Hat Area". He has also collaborated with Arto Lindsay, Towa Tei, Blonde Redhead and Peter Scherer.

Although working in many different genres his principal focus is tape compositions. Sverrisson describes the process as taking audio snapshots of the interior architecture of sound. In his solo work, his interest in electronics and extended techniques of his instrument meet.

Sverrisson is currently reconstructing improvisations with Anthony Burr and Chris Speed and performing with Pachora, Erik Friedlander and Gregg Bendian.

Current and upcoming releases include:


Seremonie

Pachora

Pachora - Knitting Factory Works

Chris Speed - songlines

Gemini (with Theo Bleckmann and Ben Monder) - Songlines.

I realised that what isn't easy to spot in these last.fm charts is if I really like a band or if I'm just listening to an album I've had recommended and seeing if I like it. So, I thought I'd set up my sidebar to give people an idea what was what. And then I figured "What the hell?" and decided to post a snapshot here. Maybe in a few months I'll post another snapshot. By then it should be obvious if I really liked a band, just one song by them or if I gave up on them entirely :)

Along with vast numbers of luminaries and laureates, among them playwrights, cosmologists, sculptors and microbiologists, John Zorn was, in 2006, named a MacArthur Fellow. The MacArthur Fellows Programme is granted to varying numbers of U.S. citizens who "show exceptional merit and promise for continued and enhanced creative work." In some ways it’s as good a summary as any of John Zorn; American saxophonist and composer. However, it would be an inherent non-sequitur to attempt to summarise John Zorn; his work sprawls and encompasses everything. Therein lies his genius, the juxtaposition of absolutely everything with itself. The man himself says “my musical world is like a little prism. You look through it and it goes off in a million different directions. Since every genre is the same, all musicians should be equally respected. It doesn’t matter if it’s jazz, blues or classical. They’re all the same.” John Zorn is everything different and everything the same. The crystalline comparison is one used by a number of modernist composers: Edgard Varese said “possible musical forms are as limitless as the exterior forms of crystals”, Arvo Part is noted to have said “I could compare my music to white light which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener”. Whether or not Zorn was aware of those quotations is irrelevant, the point is that he’s the most recent example of a composer of music as a catalyst for the sublimination of feeling, a theory that Iannis Xenakis proposed.


John Zorn mines a plethora of influences, it’s well known. From cartoon music (Raymond Scott), to traditional Jewish music, to the more obvious points of reference (Ennio Morricone and Ornette Coleman). Above it all, however, John Zorn is about amalgamation. Sure, it was his tribute to Ennio Morricone (The Big Gundown) that was his breakthrough, but it was the fact Zorn drew from the roots of Morricone, from soul to jazz and stopping off in Latin America, and reinvented the songs themselves.
There is a TV programme called The Twilight Zone. I became aware of this show because Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (of The Mars Volta) is quoted saying: “the theme of the programme explores the idea that once you’ve created something, like a song, it carries on its own life in some other dimension and becomes something that exists beyond you.” It’s an apt elucidation of the success of The Big Gundown and Zorn’s reinterpretation of his influences. Ennio Morricone composed the music on The Big Gundown and many people have recorded versions of Morricone’s work but in Morricone’s words, “no-one has done them like this”. One major point of interest about this album is the sheer number of amazing guests: Diamanda Galas, Fred Frith, Bill Frisell and Arto Lindsay are all featured and most would become regular collaborators.


Before his Morricone tribute, Zorn embarked on three albums of “musical and cultural terrorism”. Structured and improvised, Pool, Archery and Locus Solus are all fascinating artefacts that explore multiple permutations of ensemble composition and possibility of expressive playing (read: soloing). It’s true that these anarchic early recordings, reminiscent of Karlheinz Stockhausen and Antony Braxton are probably more a part of history than essential purchases but the template roots of Zorn’s manic improv-jazz/rock can be found here.


Spy Vs. Spy: The Music of Ornette Coleman is, obviously, a tribute to one of Zorn’s major influences and, again, he reinvents the originals, moulding them with his own clay. However, this time, it doesn’t work and the resulting mess is oft acknowledged as one of the worst John Zorn albums, despite its historical importance. The songs merge into one another due to the listener’s boredom rather than deliberate segues and I would strongly recommend leaving this until your Zorn collection nears fanatical levels.

Around the late ’80s Zorn formed one of his best (and certainly his most famous) band, Naked City. For the most part, it comprised of himself on alto sax, Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, Joey Baron, Bill Frisell and Yamatsuka Eye (of the Boredoms). In essence, this band was to act out Zorn’s infatuation with cartoon music by way of a jazz/grindcore band. The band’s aesthetic, stylistically, was a no-holds-barred overview of pretty much any genre you care to mention; the band is famed for the frequent tempo changes in the midst of a torrent of styles and themes. If you’re looking for where Blind Idiot God and Mr. Bungle got their schtick, look no further. Speaking of Mike Patton, he took over from Yamatsuka Eye for Naked City’s later live performances. It’s this band, more than any other, that gained Zorn attention that included people more acquainted with rock music.


Of the four albums that typify the Naked City stereotype, their self-titled is the best. (Torture Garden, Grand Guignol and Radio being the others.) The music is violent and fleets from white noise to smooth jazz, often visiting degenerate subsections of acid rock, funk and 12-tone serialism. The band doesn’t take themselves too seriously however and it’s the sense of humour that overrides all the S&M imagery and damaged themes and ultimately makes the music such a joy to listen to. Look no further than this and you have what should be your first Zorn album. The aforementioned quartet of somewhat ‘typical’ Naked City albums are the albums, generally, that influence modern bands; The Locust, for instance, seem like the logical evolution of the highly violent streak of Naked City. (An extension of the abrasive, waves-of-noise side of Zorn can be found with Painkiller: Guts of a Virgin is probably the best place to look for an introduction into the band.) Beyond the obvious quartet, however, are the lesser-known but no less influential works Leng Tch’e and Absinthe. Both of these albums, entirely metal and entirely ambient respectively, seem (paradoxically) to have been the precedent to such works as Meshuggah’s Catch Thirty Three and Orthrelm’s OV.

As much as I’d like to, I can’t go through every segment of Zorn’s career and detail all of his musical activities, there is not enough time and I have only a portion of his considerable output. Instead, I will, at a later date, write about the two main sections of his career left unwritten, his work with Masada and his chamber music.

Accidental

Hello there. I recently created a group dedicated to the fine artists of Matthew Herbert’s label Accidental Records, and this here's a heads-up to those who might be interested in joining.

If you're reading this journal in the first place it's probably because you already listen to one or more of the artists I've linked to (all of whom are connected to the label in some way, though not all are currently signed to it), and therefore it’s only logical that you should want to join. So don’t be shy, come and add to our numbers
