CMJ (p.30) - "While remaining gentle and peculiar throughout, CO ORDINATES' drones, pulses, ragas, microtones and modes are diverse and unpredictable, making a maximalist record with minimalist techniques."

Virginal Co Ordinates album
 $14.75  
Recorded during a string of concerts staged to commemorate John Zorn's 50th birthday, ELECTRIC MASADA captures the plugged-in variation of Zorn's acoustic, avant-Klezmer jazz quartet. Regular members Dave Douglas (trumpet) and Greg Cohen (bass) are absent here, with bassist Trevor Dunn admirably filling Cohen's position. Zorn's alternately lyrical and aggressive alto saxophone playing is still front and center, as are Joey Baron's dazzlingly polyrhythmic drum patterns. Rounding out the ensemble are guitarist Marc Ribot, keyboardist Jamie Saft, percussionists Kenny Wollesen and Cyro Baptista, and Ikue Mori on laptop electronics.
As one might guess from the personnel and instrumentation, the music here is dense, highly rhythmic, experimental, and often chaotic. The nearly 15-minute "Tekufah" is a cerebral, funky brew that recalls Miles Davis's early-1970s period (circa LIVE EVIL), with Saft's Rhodes creating a busy, cool counterbalance to Ribot's screaming guitar and the webs of thundering drums. "Idalah-Abal" leads off with a punishing death-metal riff that gives way to a rising tide of noise led by Zorn's screeching alto. Elsewhere, the jagged, fragmentary skronk ...

NEVER BREATHE WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE pairs underground icon and former Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra with the grungy alternative metal band the Melvins (the Washington-based group that influenced Mudhoney and Nirvana). Biafra and the Melvins are a great combination: the album is quick-witted and topically insightful, yet balanced by crunchy Black Sabbath-inspired riffs and gleeful hard-rock posturing. There are equal doses here of thoughtful irony, social critique, and sheer head-banging fun, and the result far exceeds both Biafra's often long-winded spoken-word outings and the Melvin's dark sludgefests.
Biafra has long been one of music's most uncompromising spokesmen, and his special knack for skewering public figures, politicians, and the shallower aspects of American culture is in full flower on this project. "The Lighter Side of Global Terrorism" ridicules post-9/11 "heightened security" in the U.S. via a character sketch of an airport security guard. "Islamic Bomb" calls the ...

Despite their complexity, cartoon soundtracks have largely been regarded as the redheaded stepchildren of the music world. For culturally disinterested youths, however, Elmer Fudd's performance in the Bugs Bunny classic "What's Opera, Doc?" offered a priceless introduction to classical music.
Just as Chuck Jones's 1957 animated short paid homage to Wagnerian opera, Fantomas's SUSPENDED ANIMATION pays thrash-metal tribute to cartoon music. In marked contrast to its haunting 2004 single-track opus, DELIRIUM CORDIA, the band's follow-up borrows the onomatopoeic nature and intricate arrangement of the cartoon score, and sets it within the ...

This reissue features Lester Young performing with a variety of groups: Oscar Peterson's Quartet, MJQ's John Lewis, a sextet featuring the great trombonist Vic Dickenson, and others. Probably the most lucid music heard on this compilation is a trio recording accompanied by Nat "King" Cole on piano and Buddy Rich on drums. While many more tracks recorded by this unlikely trio can be heard on the album entitled simply, LESTER YOUNG TRIO (Verve), LESTER SWINGS includes the most compelling track from that trio date, "I Cover the Waterfront."
This song is a lush ballad that highlights Young's wonderful light, airy tone, and Cole's distinct, full-ranged approach to the ol' ivories. Other tracks of interest include, Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and the title track. The former features two of the best swing era trumpet soloists, Harry "Sweets" Edison and Roy Eldridge. Herb Ellis joins in on guitar on this track, and Young is heard leading the ...
