  • Larry Ochs' Interview with Luca Canini for Allaboutjazzitalia.Com Via Email in Winter 2013.(Published April 2013.) Questions
    Larry Ochs’ interview with Luca Canini for AllAboutJazzItalia.com via email in winter 2013.(published April 2013.) Questions in bold. Some years ago, when I first listened to “Electric Ascension”, I was shocked by the intensity and power of the performance: past/future, tradition/innovation. That disc and the few concerts around the world are a deep reflection on jazz, history, improvisation, sound. But everything started back in 1995, when Rova decided to celebrate the 30th anniversary of John Coltrane’s masterpiece. Can you tell me something about the birth of the project? How do you decide to approach such a “problematic” piece (if you consider Ascension a “piece”)? And do you remember the first time you listen to Ascension? I think Coltrane’s “Ascension” is one of the great jazz compositions of all time. A great formal structure; a great piece. Not that I consider myself an expert on all jazz music. I really don’t. But I am an expert on the greatness of that composition. We have played it 11 times as “Electric Ascension.” And yes it is true that we re- arranged the piece and changed the instrumentation, but the basic composition “Ascension” is absolutely at the center of “Electric Ascension;” it totally influences all the music we play in the spontaneous performance. There is no doubt of that. I remember seeing John Coltrane live at the Village Vanguard with his late great quartet in 1967. I was 18. The music overwhelmed me completely. There were maybe 20 people there for that second set of their night.

  • Step Across the Border Admettons Que Le Hasard Soit Purement Aléatoire
    «Le documentaire social se distingue du do- cumentaire tout court et des actualités de la semaine par le point de vue qu'y défend nettement son auteur. Ce documentaire so- cial exige que l'on prenne position car il met les points sur les i. S'il n'engage pas un ar- tiste, il engage au moins un homme. Ceci vaut bien cela. Et le but sera atteint si l'on parvient à révéler la raison cachée d'un Docu-Club geste, à extraire d'une personne banale et de hasard sa beauté intérieure ou sa caricature, si l'on parvient à révéler l'esprit d'une collectivité d'aprés une de ses manifestations purement phy- siques. Et cela, avec une force telle que, désormais, le monde qu'autrefois nous côtoyions avec indifférence, s'offre à nous malgré lui au-delà de ses apparences. Ce documentaire social devra nous dessiller les yeux.» Jean Vigo (1905-1934) Texte écrit en 1930 pour la revue Ciné-Club. Step across the border Admettons que le hasard soit purement aléatoire.

  • John Grisham a Time to Kill
    John Grisham A Time to Kill Billy Ray Cobb was the younger and smaller of the two rednecks. At twenty-three he was already a three-year veteran of the state penitentiary at Parchm^an. Possession, with intent to sell. He was a lean, tough little punk who had survived prison by somehow maintaining a ready supply of drugs th^at he sold and sometimes gave to the blacks and the guards for protection. In the year since his release he had continued to prosper, and his small-time narcotics business had elevated him to the position of one of the more affluent rednecks in Ford County. He was a businessman, with employees, obligations, deals, everything but taxes. Down at the Ford place in Clanton he was known as the last man in recent history to pay cash for a new pickup truck. Sixteen thousand cash, for a custom-built, four-wheel drive, canary yellow, luxury Ford pickup. The fancy chrome wheels and mudgrip racing tires had been received in a business deal. The rebel flag hanging across the rear window had been stolen by Cobb from a drunken fraternity boy at an Ole Miss football game. The pickup was Billy Ray's most prized possession. He sat on the tailgate drinking a beer, smoking a joint, watching his friend Willard take his turn with the black girl. Willard was four years older and a dozen years slower. He was generally a harmless sort who had never been in serious trouble and had never been seriously employed. Maybe an occasional fight with a night in jail, but nothing that would distinguish him.

  • Liner Notes, Visit Our Web Site
    “When we escape from the place we spend most of our time . we start thinking about obscure possibilities . that never would have occurred to us if we’d stayed back on the farm.” —Jonah Lerner 1 In his 2009 essay about the transformative power of travel, science writer Jonah Lerner concludes, “When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.” The same thing can be said about listening to music, especially music that causes you to lose your bearings in a territory that cannot be fenced into any familiar category. The Celestial Septet, comprising the Nels Cline Singers and Rova Saxophone Quartet, is a vehicle for time and space travel through dense, narrow thickets and airy, wide expanses of boundary-blurred extrapolations of jazz, rock, late-20th-century European modernism and American minimalism, and 21st-century postmodern fusions. The trip is challenging, but the open-minded listener/traveler cannot help but come through the experience with new perspectives on sound and music. As individual entities, the Singers and Rova ramble in musical regions that have been variously and inadequately called “avant-garde,” “creative,” “improvised,” “new,” “noise,” and “free.” Such labels are more convenient than instructive. Similarly, the groups’ respective names are somewhat deceptive and limited when it comes to describing the configurations of personnel and instrumentation. The singer-less Singers—Nels Cline, Devin Hoff, and Scott Amendola—are ostensibly a guitar-bass-drums trio. But the approaches taken by Cline on acoustic and electric guitars and various effects, Hoff on acoustic contrabass, and Amendola on drum kit, percussion, live electronics, and effects expand the threesome’s musical possibilities exponentially.
