BESNARD LAKES, JEALOUS GIRLFRIENDS (Tonight and Sunday) The Besnard Lakes, from Montreal, build childlike, Brian Wilsonesque melodies into fuzz-drenched epics fraught with violence. The Jealous Girlfriends, one of the best new bands in New York, float through soft and erotic clouds of guitar and keyboards that can turn grungy and turbulent; the soft and erotic stuff is whatʼs gotten their music on “Greyʼs Anatomy.” Tonight at 8:30, with Dappled Cities and the Muggabears, at the Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street, at Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, (212) 260-4700, mercuryloungenyc.com; $12.

(Ben Sisario) BLACK LIPS (Thursday) Sounding like a nightmarish variant of the 13th Floor Elevators or the Troggs, this Atlanta band plays a grisly version of 1960s garage rock, and its onstage antics have been known to descend into the scatological.

Its second album, “Traineater” (Anti-), is an appropriately clangy elegy for rust- belt Americana; here the band plays what it says is its first and possibly only live performance, with friends Jon Langford of the Mekons and Carla Bozulich of the Geraldine Fibbers.

    JAZZ WRITING? I am one of Mr. Turley's "few people" who follow The New Yorker and are jazz lovers, and I find in Whitney Bal- liett's writing some of the sharpest and best jazz criticism in the field. He has not been duped with "funk" in its pseudo-gospel hard-boppish world, or- with the banal playing and writing of some of the "cool school" Californians. He does believe, and rightly so, that a fine jazz performance erases the bound• aries of jazz "movements" or fads. He seems to be able to spot insincerity in any phalanx of jazz musicians. And he has yet to be blinded by the name of a "great"; his recent column on Bil- lie Holiday is the most clear-headed analysis I have seen, free of the fan- magazine hero-worship which seems to have been the order of the day in the trade. It is true that a great singer has passed away, but it does the late Miss Holiday's reputation no good not to ad• LETTERS mit that some of her later efforts were (dare I say it?) not up to her earlier work in quality. But I digress. In Mr. Balliett's case, his ability as a critic is added to his admitted "skill with words" (Turley). He is making a sincere effort to write rather than play jazz; to improvise with words,, rather than notes. A jazz fan, in order to "dig" a given solo, unwittingly knows a little about the equipment: the tune being improvised to, the chord struc• ture, the mechanics of the instrument, etc.

    Scott Amendola: Drummer/Composer/Bandleader/Educator “Amendola’s music is consistently engaging, both emotionally and intellectually, the product of a fertile and inventive musical imagination.” Los Angeles Times “If Scott Amendola didn't exist, the San Francisco music scene would have to invent him.” Derk Richardson, San Francisco Bay Guardian “Amendola has complete mastery of every piece of his drumset and the ability to create a plethora of sounds using sticks, brushes, mallets, and even his hands.”Steven Raphael, Modern Drummer “...drummer/signal-treater Scott Amendola is both a tyrant of heavy rhythm and an electric-haired antenna for outworldly messages (not a standard combination).” Greg Burk, LA Weekly For Scott Amendola, the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. As an ambitious composer, savvy bandleader, electronics explorer, first-call accompanist and capaciously creative foil for some of the world’s most inventive musicians, Amendola applies his wide-ranging rhythmic virtuosity to a vast array of settings. His closest musical associates include guitarists Nels Cline, Jeff Parker, Charlie Hunter, Hammond B-3 organist Wil Blades, violinists Jenny Scheinman and Regina Carter, saxophonists Larry Ochs and Phillip Greenlief, and clarinetist Ben Goldberg, players who have each forged a singular path within and beyond the realm of jazz. While rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area scene, Amendola has woven a dense and far-reaching web of bandstand relationships that tie him to influential artists in jazz, blues, rock and new music. A potent creative catalyst, the Berkeley-based drummer is the nexus for a disparate community of musicians stretching from Los Angeles and Seattle to Chicago and New York.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

  • Allison Miller's Boom Tic Boom
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Glenn Siegel, 413-320-1089 [email protected] Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares presents: Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares continues with a performance by Allison Miller’s Boom Tic Boom , on Sunday, May 8, at 7:30pm at the Institute for the Musical Arts , 165 Cape St. (Rt. 112), Goshen, MA. Boom Tic Boom features Jenny Scheinman , violin, Kirk Knuffke , cornet, Ben Goldberg , clarinet, Myra Melford , piano and Todd Sickafoose , bass. Single tickets ($15) available at www.jazzshares.org and at the door. The most poignant music is often inspired by watershed events in an artist’s life, and few occasions are more transformative than the arrival of one’s first child. For Allison Miller, the extraordinary drummer, composer and leader of her band Boom Tic Boom, that life-affirming experience provided the seed that led to the creation of her new full-length studio album, Otis Was a Polar Bear (The Royal Potato Family: April 8, 2016). The album is Miller’s latest collection of 10 original compositions following her 2013 critically acclaimed No Morphine, No Lilies, which Downbeat Magazine said “reveals her exemplary chops and stylistic breadth.” The birth of Miller’s (and partner Rachel’s) daughter Josie found the NYC-based drummer reordering her priorities and the very way in which she approached her art. Miller, praised by the All Music Guide as “one of the finest drummers on the scene, but also one of the most innovative compositional voices,” began writing Otis Was a Polar Bear during the summer of 2014 while touring with lauded singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant.

  • Antioch University COMMON THREAD
    Antioch University COMMON THREAD JANUARY 25, 2018 SANTA BARBARA CAMPUS & COMMUNITY BEGIN RECOVERY FROM THOMAS FIRE AND MONTECITO FLOOD DISASTERS The Antioch University Santa Barbara campus and surrounding community was significantly impacted by the Thomas Fire -now measured as the largest wildfire in California history- in December 2017, and by the subsequent floods and mudslides in Montecito on January 9, 2018. At the time of writing this, twenty lives were confirmed lost and three are missing as a result of the mudslide tragedy. Highway 101, the only highway route in and out of the city toward the south, remains closed as Caltrans clears mud and debris. To say the least, our entire campus community has been tremendously impacted by the injury and loss of people we may know. In addition, many of us have experienced damage and loss of homes and property, as well as the impact of damaged infrastructure, isolation or disruption of transportation, and local economic impact. Antioch University has responded in a number of ways to generously support students, staff, and faculty in Santa Barbara. For example, AU increased the number of pro Zoom accounts for each academic department which allow faculty to include all students in their classes so that they may make academic progress. We remain grateful to first responders, search and rescue crews, and the current search and recovery teams in our area. The compassion and kindness demonstrated by the recovery teams has been appreciated as we mourn the loss of those in our community, and acknowledge the profound impact on each one of us.

Regardless of what your opinion about R.E.M. is, there's no denying that they shaped the face of alternative rock for years. Heck, they've basically been every kind of alternative rock band themselves. They spent their formative years as cult favorite college rockers. Then, they started attracting more and more attention until they were making music with genuine mainstream appeal. Between 1991 and 1992 alone, they released the folk- inspired Out of Time and the baroque Automatic For The People, making them easily the most successful band to attack the audiences of the early grunge era with both mandolins ("Losing My Religion") and string arrangements (A good chunk of Automatic ).
