I saw The Sun Ra Repatriation Project two days ago. Pretty cool idea, my first instinct was to say "that's not wild enough", but it's actually pretty much out there
@Jeff: It's an arts project: Kapwani Kiwanga interviewed musicians who played with Sun Ra and asked them to describe him physically, then had a French military cop make a composite portrait out of these (which looks nothing like Sun Ra at all) and beamed it towards Saturn through radio waves. Then she got recordings from radio-telescopes that were aimed at Saturn and scoured these transmissions for a reply from either Sun Ra or his relatives. This utterly fails to capture the thing, check it out if you can
There's an extract on her site: www.kapwanikiwanga.org...
But it's missing a lot of great parts, like the conflicting descriptions from musicians (who were probably not at their cognitive best when they played with him...)
@duke: with the quality of the portrait, they have a great excuse if they don't. But I think it would be a great fit for the A/V lounge in the next record fair
Hey man,
in the oldern days in the 90s there was a great jazz record shop where I lived and frequented and bought loads of cool jazz discs.
However it shut in 2002 and since then I have lost touch with many of the records and artist I bought then.
In short do you what happened to:
Nicky Skopolitis
Steve Tibbetts (of YR fame)
what Coleman Hawkins did after the 'With Strings' album and if was as cool?
Jeff, if you ever drop by Paris, you should check out that place (Instants Chavirés). It's closed in summer though. And don't wait too long, its survival remains questionable
@fred: Thanks for the tip! My wife turns 50 in a couple years, and apparently we're all going to Paris to celebrate. So if it's around then, that's probably by next "drop by" opportunity.
Jeff, another place to check out is "La Dynamo". I'm sure we'll have an opportunity to figure out what's going on by then, a couple of years is an eternity when venues are concerned, unfortunately
That's an amazing segue (for me): I spend a lot of time at Instants Chavirés, where Brötzmann played twice this year, and I work at a place founded by Boulez. This might be the first time I see them connected
@fred
My high school band teacher's name was Mr. Doberstein, but we all called him Doberman. He was a about 4'11" and would turn beet-red whilst screaming at the woodwinds or the brass (never the percussion section). When he would yell, a little blob of spittle would form on his upper lip and we would all wait with baited wonder to see which member of the flute section it would inevitably land on.

DARK STAR MAN:
I thought D/O radio is once a fortnight?
Doug Schulkind:
That was back in the, ahem, dark ages. D:O Radio is now live EVERY week!
DARK STAR MAN:
now I can get 'out there' every week!
Truly spaced out man!
