| 2. |  | The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone from Tzadik Price: $10.73 Customer Review:  Well packaged, everything in order but shouldn't have taken weeks to arrive overseas... (should not that the period in question includes xmas where mail slows down to a halt) |

| 3. |  | Lesson No. 1 by Glenn Branca Price: $10.51 Customer Review:  The multi-genre influential respect is evident, but still these churning numbers evoke little more than inspired exercise at best. |

| 4. |  | Play It Cool by Lea DeLaria Price: $5.26 Customer Review: Lea Delaria is a brilliant and legitimate jazz vocalist. By "legitimate" I mean she's really a jazz singer, not a pop crooner doing jazz standards like the overrated, overexposed, and totally boring Diana Krall. Lea knows how to make her voice sound like a clarinet: straight, perfectly in-tune... |

| 5. |  | Igor Stravinsky: Oedipus Rex; The Firebird from EMI Classics Price: $7.69 Customer Review: Maestro Franz Welser-Most and the London Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus have given us stunning performances of Stravinsky's 1910 ballet "Firebird," his 1947 revised version of "Symphonies of Wind Instruments," and his Opera-oratorio called "Oedipus Rex". Oedipus Rex is no doubt a very... |

| 6. |  | Film Works VIII: 1997 from Tzadik Price: $9.76 Customer Review:  "Filmworks VIII" is the soundtrack for two films-- "Port of Last Resort", a documentary about Jews fleeing Nazi Germany for Shanghai and "Latin Boys Go To Hell", which I confess I have no idea what it is. For "Port of Last Resort", Zorn hit on the brilliant idea of exploring his Masada songbook... |

| 8. |  | Music Romance, Vol. 1: Music for Children from Tzadik Price: $8.23 Customer Review: Music for Children is one of the most personal CDs Zorn has ever made. It is destined to get a bad review because of its incredible range. A classical chamber composition, an ambient piece for wind machines and feedback (on the new version Lou Reed overdubs on this one and he is as always... |

| 9. |  | The Best of Film Works: 20 Years of Soundtrack Music from Tzadik Price: $10.63 Customer Review: This music, which I'm sure will appeal to some, left me disappointed. I can only speak for myself, but this collection strikes me as dissonant and disjointed. I love movie scores which generally serve to inspire and/or promote emotion. But, if that's what you are looking for, I do not believe you... |

| 10. |  | Gershwin's World from Verve Price: $13.60 Customer Review: No doubt about it, Herbie Hancock is one of the greatest geniuses of jazz and this album a typically brave attempt to push at the borders of jazz creativity, just as Charles Mingus did before him. Like any brave attempt at pushing limits, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. One surprise is... |

| 11. |  | Freakish by Anthony Coleman Price: $9.75 | |
| 12. |  | Duras: Duchamp from Tzadik Price: $9.52 Customer Review: this recording can best be described as chamber music, a tribute to a couple of french artists, marguerite duras, author, and marcel duchamp, conceptual artist, in his case, his last work, etant donnes. the piece, duras, is as much a tribute to french composer, olivier messiaen, as duras, so... |

| 13. |  | One Hundred Aspects of the Moon from Tzadik Price: $11.18 Customer Review: I had never heard of this artist before. Frankly, I stumbled on the c.d. at the library and thought the cover art looked interesting. I had NO idea I was in for this. It came up under the genre "other" on my computer, and I soon realized why. This is like nothing I've heard before, yet it is... |

| 14. |  | Soundtracks II from Tzadik Price: $11.39 Customer Review: . . . but what else should we expect from music composed specifically for movie soundtracts? A not inapt comparison might be the soundtracts Ry Cooder has composed and performed. Always entirely suited to the particular films they're written for, they nevertheless fall somewhat short of his best... |

| 16. |  | Shmutsige Magnaten: Coleman Plays Gebirtig by Anthony Coleman Price: $9.94 Customer Review: Anthony Coleman's interpretation of Mordecai Gebertig will get anybody's attention by the second tune, 'Mamenyu An Eytse'(Yiddish for 'Mama,I Need Your Advice');he locks you in for some very nice melody-then drops the roof on your head.Gebertig coulda been a very big name composing tunes for say,The... |

| 17. |  | Mystery/Death Praxis from Tzadik Price: $11.46 Customer Review: A really fine recording. Ikue Mori, the avant garde's master of the drum machine (!), a longtime Zorn collaborator and someone sorely underappreciated as a composer -- she's brilliant -- joins with Japanese vocalist Tenko to interpret in music the writings of several feminist (or at least female)... |

| 18. |  | I Could've Been a Drum by Roy Nathanson Price: $11.69 Customer Review: 'I Could've Been A Drum' was released in 1997 in the Radical Jewish Culture Series of John Zorn's Tzadik label. This is the third collaboration of saxophonist Roy Nathanson (Lounge Lizards, Jazz Passengers) with pianist Anthony Coleman (Selfhaters, Sephardic Tinge) under the nom de guerre 'Lobster... |

| 21. | [no image] | Stravinsky: Oedipus Rex from Capitol Price: $20.99 Customer Review: Stravinsky exploded on the world with his three early ballets, "The Firebird", "Petroushka", and "The Rite of Spring". He wrote smaller works during the First World War, for obvious reasons. He settled in Paris and there all things Greek were all the rage. The prolific and influential Jean Cocteau... |

| 22. |  | Film Works 1986-1990 from Tzadik Price: $9.98 Customer Review: A strong, diverse first entry into his gigantic Film Works series finds the always-eclectic composer offering up an ultra diverse sampler from three of some of Zorn's earliest independent movie scorings. A few tracks are rough around the edges, but when that is not working in any piece's favor, the... |

| 23. |  | Selfhaters by Anthony Coleman Price: $11.04 Customer Review: Selfhaters is a study in Jewish self-hatred, issued on Tzadik Records' Radical Jewish Culture series. And it is no doubt some of the most radical takes on big band music that you will ever get to hear (Ellington fans might have a hard time to cope with Anthony Colemans vision of Jewish alienation... |

| 25. |  | Manhattan Cascade from Composers Recordings Price: $15.99 Customer Review: This CD will appeal to you if you are a fan of modern composers who can't seem to distinguish between music and sound. The best tracks are Klucevsek's own compositions, the others are just too noisy for me. Transylvanian Software is a better disk for adventurous but listenable virtuosic accordion... |

| 27. |  | New Traditions in East Asian Bar Bands from Tzadik Price: $10.95 Customer Review: "New Traditions in East Asian Bar Bands" is a recording of three of John Zorn's later Game Pieces. For those unfamiliar, the Game Pieces are essentially a series of rules for a group to improvise with-- nothing is precomposed, but a set of cues are used to indicate change in direction in... |

| 28. |  | Scelsi Morning from Tzadik Price: $10.22 Customer Review: Scelsi Morning finds guitarist Marc Ribot exploring the possibilities of "classical" forms in adherence to the rhythms of modern dance. The tracks on this album are taken from scores Ribot wrote to accompany both Wim Vanderheybus dance piece Inasmuch as Life is Borrowed and Yoshiko Chuma's Reverse... |

In Zorn's groups Coleman was often employed because of his ability to switch quickly between different styles--there's a memorable moment on _Spillane_, for instance,... |
