I must admit, this wasn't an easy post to write. It's about my usual stuff and a friend of mine. Thanks to my wife for editing it. I have been very busy, so this post is very late. Hope you find it interesting. I just got back from Los Angeles and Park City, Utah (Madame has always wanted to go to a film festival) where we attended the Sundance Film Festival. I will leave out the Film review stuff, save for the fact that one of the Festival trailers for Sundance featured an excerpt of "Close Your Eyes" by none other than Don Tiki! These trailers were played before many movies, so quite a few heard it. Bravo Mr. Tiki! [Ed. note: I posted this bit already and he knows.] Finds: Didn't have much time to do much shopping, so I made a beeline for Bagatelle Records. Nice Exotica, reasonably priced. It was a stereo celebration: The Three Suns - Movin' and Groovin', in the original Stereo Action sleeve. This was my first time seeing this record. Latin-Esque - Esquivel. Also in the Stereo Action, but a second issue. The Eloise Trio. This features the wonderfully ear-splitting "Chi Chi Merengue" (isn't that right, Mr. Lobue?), although there is an alternate and wilder take of the same song on the "Showtime at the Drumbeat" compilation. Eloise Lewis (guitar and vocals), along with Bucky and Bert sing "Goombay and Latin rhythms", according to liner notes (Goombay is a celebration, not a genre). It is a rather pleasant collection of Calypso music, featuring a weird version of "La Bamba" (spelled "La Bomba" on the album) credited to Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger so one can only guess who made it to the publisher first with a old Mexican folk song in their hands. Firstly, the Spanish is off ("Arriba La Siba?"), it is decidedly slower than other versions I have heard (the speed prize is still held by Bud and Travis, who have a nice fan page at http://eserver.org/home/tom/budandtravis.html ), however, it is still pleasant. Although King Kini may disagree with me (he has a picture of the album on his site!), I don't know if I would recommend this to someone as a must-have Calypso album, but as a nice-to-have Calypso album. I would recommend the "Real Calypso" album on Folkways, with the forewarning that none of it dates from the fifties and does NOT sound like Belafonte (not that I dislike his Calypso, it is just different). Concert: Warning! Not quite Exotica. Repeat, not quite Exotica! Glenn Horiuchi and Friends, January 22, 2000 I will confess to being a bit biased, as Glenn Horiuchi is a friend of my wife's and mine. What is his music like? Well, I thought he was a Jazz musician, originally. Yes, he is, but that would be limiting the scope of his art. His music reflects his Asian heritage, avant-garde influences and his political leanings. While some artists have written political songs, without taking any action (hello, Ian Hunter)or some have taken political stances and claimed that they were merely entertainers when challenged (how are you, Rush Limbaugh?), Horiuchi has most certainly gotten involved, working with the Redress and Reparation movement for Asian concentration camp survivors of World War II (that would be the U.S. camps, not Germany's). So with regards to his politics, it may be said that he has not only composed, he has campaigned! The concert (no I didn't forget!) started out with "San Mi" (3 tones), which he played on the Shamisen, a three-stringed Japanese instrument (it looks like a banjo), with the San-Mi Shamisen Ensemble. This group features a Shamisen virtuoso, Lilian Nakano, who, as he later said, got him interested in playing this instrument. The piece was well-played by the ten-person ensemble, even though Horiuchi himself said to the audience he was worried about throwing them off (!). Next was "Issei Spirit". This was a solo piano piece, played by Horiuchi in what we would consider to be good old Ferrante & Teicher style; in other words, after sitting down to play, he immediately stood up and started plucking the strings! After that, he then began to play (perhaps attack would be a better word) the piano, alternating note clusters with chords, played notes and even shouted at the strings, reminding me of Stomu Yamashta. A fiery and disturbing piece. "Celebration" from his Poston Sonata (Poston was a concentration camp). It featured Lilian Nakano on the Shamisen, Francis Wong on the Saxophone and William Roper on the Tuba. While I am reasonably certain that this is one of the few pairings of Shamisen and Tuba, the problem of balance never intruded. The Shamisen (amplified) and the other two instruments played off of each other well. Roper coaxed many odd sonorities from his Tuba, even knocking the side of it. "Oxnard Beet" (a solo piano piece dedicated to the 1903 sugar beet strike by Japanese and Mexican farmworker in Oxnard, CA) was played most energetically by Jon Jang. This was my favorite piece of the night (admittedly, the most Jazz-based). It is both melodic and percussive (the composition is based partially on taiko drum rhythms, according to one of his albums' liner notes). The last piece, "Dewdrop" was yet another pairing of Shamisen and Tuba, featuring Horiuchi on Shamisen, Roper on Tuba and Wong on Saxophone. This was a most challenging piece, that went on rather long. Many sections of it were quite interesting and some, I must confess, were in a different musical language, which is good, as it keeps listeners on their toes, as it were. All in all, a fabulous program, including a Classical Japanese Dance (with vocals and Shamisen by Ms. Nakano). Quite literally, something for everyone. Horiuchi has played with many musicians, including Joseph Jarman and Wadada Leo Smith and released twelve albums under his own name, starting in 1988. What is he doing now? According to the program, "His present project is his battle with colon cancer, which was diagnosed in August 1999." Glenn Horiuchi is in stage four of the disease, which is considered terminal, however, as he rightly pointed out during the concert, "We're ALL terminal!". This concert was not only a great evening of music; it was also a testament to this man's resolve, faith and humor, since it was doubtful that he was going to be able (well enough) to PLAY (he attended the reception afterwards, part of the time laying on his stretcher). His condition is sadly resonant for me since he is the same age as my brother (44) and suffering from the same disease that took my father from me in 1992. Glenn Horiuchi is taking all of it with inner strength and fortitude that humbles me. Had one not read the program, you would have heard a fellow explaining his music and his journeys, while laughing out loud at times. Referring to his rather hermetic dedication to his music, "...I was politically active for some years, then I got into music full-time, HAHAHAHA! I used to have friends, HAHAHAHA!" Later, one would be surprised that the reason he stated for his being tired during the concert was due to his cancer. America has no great love of it's composers, whether it be helping new ones or supporting current ones. Yes, there are programs of study and yes, we have more record companies than anyone else, however, compare this with Italy, who does no less than support music with government funds. Music is a part of the budget. In the USA, you can get grants, on occasion, or you can hope that your music charts and does well. However, Horiuchi's various milieus are not Billboard chart-topping, MTV heavy rotation, cool tour t-shirt stuff, so he reaped the occasional harvest of the modern American composer: The occasional festival or concert. The albums on small labels. The recognition of few. Through all of this, Horiuchi composes great music and his great spirit persists. It was good to attend this celebration of his music, for as my Cousin Sarah used to say, "It's good to get flowers while you can still see them."

What a coincidence! A friend from Japan just sent me a CD-R of it. In fact, I received it only yesterday, so I have only played it once. Heavily EZ indeed, but well worth your time. The cover of Quiet Village is very good. There are 2 other interesting releases in this series: 'Good night Tokyo - a collection of Japanese clubpop music 1967-1972' and 'Midnight Tokyo - a collection of Japanese clubjazz music 1966-1981'. Very groovy indeed. I have no idea if these are available outside Japan. WM, I'll mail you offlist about how to contact my Japanese friend, so he can tell you more about Okazaki Hiroshi.

I really think there is some "collector gene"--and I definitely have it--but when Casa Mambo's own femalely sexuated spokesperson has collections of 50 vintage pop-up toasters*, 750 postcards, 150 retro cookbooks and pamphlets, and 25 mixers. . .

Its a Nice World to Visit (But Not to Live In) * * * * * * Smells Like Records continues its LEE HAZLEWOOD reissue series with perhaps the strangest of Hazlewood's recordings: his album of duets with actress Ann-Margret (star of Tommy, Carnal Knowledge, Speedway, and The Flintstones). This odd gem, originally released in 1969, was the first full-length LP on Lee's fledgling LHI label, following several singles by Ann-Margret & Lee, Honey Ltd. and others. Taking a break from the frenzied pace of his late 60s songwriting work, Hazlewood recorded this collection of country-tinged and Hollywood-soaked songs about both the sweetness and loss of love. The duo perform cuts such as "Dark End of the Street" and "Only Mama That'll Walk the Line" in their own utterly inimitable style: only natural for two personalities as inimitable as Lee and Ann-Margret. In addition, Lee performs Tom Rush's "No Regrets" solo, taking a cold, hard look at the aftermath of love gone wrong, in typical Hazlewood fashion. Also included as bonus tracks are four extremely rare songs, which constituted the first two singles on LHI. "Sleep in the Grass" and "Chico", a pair of Hazlewood originals performed as duets with Ann-Margret, produced on a par with his most baroque masterworks, were first released as LHI-2. "You Turned My Head Around" and "It's A Nice World To Visit (But Not to Live In)", two slices of Nuggets-era psych-pop sung by Ann-Margret solo, are possibly two of Lee's rarest and strangest productions. These four songs have been out-of-print since the time of their release and, along with THE COWBOY & THE LADY, make their first Hazlewood-approved appearance in 30 years.

It has sort of a glossy dark acqua cover spotted with floating nabobs with cut-out eyes - thought it wouldbe good for framing if nothing else. I pulled it outlast night and put it on. The narrator deliver such pieces as "He Could Not Be Photographed", "Witch Doctors of East Transvaal", The Psychic Donkey", "Poltergeist Activity" with a halting Rod Serling type of brogue. Very amusing stuff - but as I was half-listening I noticed that the eerie background music for some of the tracks was from Attileo Mineo's Man in Space with Sounds. That's all.

No.: SLR030 Label : Smells Like Records Looks like SLR is on its way to reissue all Lee Hazlewood LPs sooner or later. The best songs of this album were part of a reissue on Lee's own label LHI put out a few years ago, also containing his duets with Nancy Sinatra, Nina Lizell, Suzie Jane Hokom and Ann-Kristin Hedmark. A very good compilation, called The Cowboy & The Ladies! Somebody just sent me a scan of yet another apparently new re-release, Trouble is a Lonesome Town, on LHI. So I guess that one will not be put out again by SLR. Speaking of it: Here's a bit of an off-list question: Does anybody know the name of the font that was used to write the name Lee Hazlewood on that album cover and if it's available for computers (i.e. Macs, to be precise) ?

The best cuts are classics. The version of Aquarius reminds me a bit of Martin Denny. The version of "Walk on By" reminds me a bit of Mongo Santamaria. "Summertime" reminds me of Dick Schory and Mongo both. Good record!!

I just bought two LPs yesterday - the best of Jane Birkin vol 1 and 2. I must have been in a trance in the shop because when I'd left the shop= and gone to the pub to meet a mate of mine, I suddenly realised that I thou= ght I'd been buying the Best of France Gall. It wasn't that I misread the artist's name, I just thought Jane was France, if you know what I mean.= Anyway, the records, (apart from Je t'aime which I already have on a Se= rge and Jane original LP) are pants. So if anybody wants two Jane Birkin LP= s for =A36, let me know. They're Japanese issues and should have cost a L= OT more but they came from a grotty promos shop and neither have covers.

I'm hardly a LH expert and have heard very little of his stuff aside from the Nancy duets, but this one was very enjoyable. What I found unique and interesting about this recording is that the entire record is a story about a sleepy little town called Trouble. Each track begins with LH doing a sixty second or so spoken word intro which sets up the song. You meet a few of the towns locals, like the undertaker and that woman, who is all "soft and gooey lookin". Nice job on the CD reissue too - the liner notes contain the spoken stories. The original LP (1963 I think) is a tough find. Mo's URL reference shows a different LP cover than the one I've seen. Same title tho. Anyway, check it out... # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #681 *****************************
