  • Berliner Jazztage the Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany November 7, 1981
    Berliner Jazztage The Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany November 7, 1981 The Lounge Lizards was an eclectic musical group founded by saxophonist John Lurie and his brother, pianist Evan Lurie, in 1978. Initially known for their ironic, tongue-in- cheek take on jazz, The Lounge Lizards eventually became a showcase for John Lurie’s sophisticated compositions straddling jazz and many other genres. They were active until about 1998 with the Lurie brothers as the only constant members, though many leading New York City based musicians were members of the group. The group’s name was borrowed from American slang. A lounge lizard is typically depicted as a well-dressed man who frequents the establishments in which the rich gather with the intention of seducing a wealthy woman with his flattery and deceptive charm. - wikipedia + + + + + Thanks to unclewolfi for sharing the show at Dime.

  • The Interstitial, Musical Authenticity, and Social Identity
    Hector N. Qirko* The Interstitial, Musical Authenticity, and Social Identity Resumen: Se exploran los procesos de autentificación musical examinando las reacciones de expertos de música y auditorios frente a la música de un grupo neoyorquino ‘intersticial’, es decir, entre diferentes géneros, “Los Cubanos Postizos”. Parece que cuestiones de autenticidad musical son de importancia para los críticos y el auditorio del grupo, al contrario de las expectativas basa- das en características del arte posmoderno, de la globalización social y de la constitución compleja del grupo mismo. De 54 comentarios examinados (im- presos, distribuidos por el Internet, o en entrevistas), 40 definen autenticidad por uno o más de los cuatro criterios siguientes: intención artística, característi- cas musicales técnicas, emoción musical y las credenciales de los artistas. Esto sugiere la continuidad de la relevancia de la autentificación para la formación y el mantenimiento de identidades de grupos en la sociedad contemporánea. Summary: This paper explores the process of musical authentication by examining the reactions of music experts and audiences to the music of an interstitial (inter-genre) New York group, “Los Cubanos Postizos”. Contrary to expectations based on characteristics of postmodern art, social globalization, and the complicated nature of the group itself, issues of musical authenticity appear to be important to the band’s reviewers and audience. Of 54 print, web, and interview commentaries examined, 40 address authenticity by means of one or more of the following four criteria: artistic intent, technical musical characteristics, musical emotion, and the credentials of the artists. This suggests the continuing relevance of authentication to the formation and maintenance of group identities in contemporary society.

  • John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards
    John Lurie and The Lounge Lizards John Lurie the sax player, the actor, the painter and the fisherman. Though this might sound like a schizophrenic portrait it's simply the truth. All these different personalities suit in the same physical body. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 14 1952, he's mostly known as the founder of The Lounge Lizards, a modern jazz ensemble featuring a bunch of hipsters of the New York Downtown scene. Along with his brother Evan on piano there were Arto Lindsay (guitar), Anton Fier (drums) and Steve Piccolo (bass). This is the band playing inside “The Lounge Lizards” (EEG, 1981), their first official album, although the band was already active at the end of the seventies. The ensemble underwent a few changes over the years: Arto Lindsay was later replaced by Marc Ribot on guitar and more elements were added until the band expanded into an octet, sometimes even a nonet, maintaining John Lurie in New York, 1982 however their typical unsettling, ironic, often sharp, sound. The Lounge Lizards perfectly embodied the Downtown noir-like atmosphere surrounding the artists in New York at the beginning of the eighties. “No pain for cakes” (Island, 1987), “Voice of Chunk” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1990), “Queen of all ears” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1998) plus a bunch of live recordings followed their self-titled debut release and are the overall output of the band. Not too much of an output considering when the band was formed, but John used the stage to refine, rearrange and shape the tunes over and over.

  • Made in Brooklyn 2003 Clean Feed
    MADE IN BROOKLYN 2003 CLEAN FEED ALLABOUTJAZZ.COM 2003 By: Mark Corroto You have to love drummer-led recordings. Is it because the producer mixes the leader a bit louder, or maybe you just concentrate more on the beat? Maybe both. Sessions led by Billy Higgins, Roy Haynes, Tony Williams, or today´s stars like Jim Black, Matt Wilson and Joey Baron cause you to focus on subtlety and drama made with sticks. Try and he does to direct your attention away from himself throughout MADE IN BROOKLYN, leader and drummer Ethan Winogrand just can´t do it. His eight compositions recorded here feature splendid soloing by his partners, yet the eye (or ear) is always on the leader. Winogrand employs saxophonist Donny McCaslin (Lan Xang, Luciana Souza) and bassit Eric Mingus (Elliot Sharp´s Terraplane, Karen Mantler), as well as producer turned guitarist, pianist, saxophonist and bassist Ross Bonadonna. The quartet turn Winogrand´s compositions into an engrossing 51 minutes of post-bop meets alternative rock. Winogrand, McCaslin and Mingus worked together on Eric Mingus´ recording “UM...ER...AH” (Some Records 2000). This session draws from the folk aspects of jazz and the groove side of rock. Producer Bonadonna mostly sticks to guitar, playing a mix of early Bill Frisell and Grant Green at the Filmore. On “Pepper And Things”, Winogrand applies the pulse while McCaslin and Bonadonna ply a cascading array of notes, shifting from the boom-boom of rock to a country feel and taking everything around the block. McCaslin is a slick saxophonist with all the young lion chops but with a taste for music of his time.

The Squirrel Bait and Rodan genealogies continued to dominate Kentucky's and Chicago's post-rock scene during the 1990s. Half of Rodan, i.e. Tara Jane O'Neil (now on vocals and guitar) and Kevin Coultas, formed Sonora Pine with keyboardist and guitarist Sean Meadows, violinist Samara Lubelski and pianist Rachel Grimes. Their debut album, Sonora Pine (1996), basically applied Rodan's aesthetics to the format of the folk lullaby. Another member of Rodan, guitarist Jeff Mueller, formed June Of 44 (11), a sort of supergroup comprising Sonora Pine's guitarist Sean Meadows, Codeine's drummer and keyboardist Doug Scharin, and bassist and trumpet player Fred Erskine. Engine Takes To The Water (1995) signaled the evolution of "slo-core" towards a coldly neurotic form, which achieved a hypnotic and catatonic tone, besides a classic austerity, on the mini-album Tropics And Meridians (1996). Sustained by abrasive and inconclusive guitar doodling, mutant rhythm and off-key counterpoint of violin and trumpet, Four Great Points (1998) metabolized dub, raga, jazz, pop in a theater of calculated gestures.
