GARY LUCAS & GERALD ZBINDEN - DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

• gary lucas & gérald zbinden: down the rabbit hole
  
  (2008, cd, switzerland, border records)

Gary Lucas (or, he who played the guitar in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, and who will be performing at the next Zappanale Festival) made an album with fellow guitar player Gérald Zbinden. It got recorded in November 2004, and it got released on the Borden Records label in 2008.

This is pretty neat. Two guitars and a lot of electronics. I really like this. On "Down The Rabbit Hole", Gary gets back to his familiar surroundings: an electric guitar and a lot of electronics.

THE SOUL VIBRATIONS OF MAN

Sun Ra's 1978 album "The Soul Vibrations Of Man" is one of those hard-to-find Saturn releases. It was a private release on Sun Ra's own label, and only available at concerts.

News has reached U.M.headquarters (by means of the Saturn Newsgroup) that this album has been re-released on 180 g vinyl. On the very same Saturn label.

MOSAE ZAPPA IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

Went to the first night of the MOSAE ZAPPA FESTIVAL yesterday.
In Maastricht.

I had never been to Maastricht before. Not that I've seen much of the place as I drove straight to the Muziekgieterij, but what I did see, looked nice.

Yesterday had Jan reciting a Beefheart poem, guitar player LiLo doing a superb Zappa set, and The Wrong Object playing a mix of original and Zappa material with special guest Ke on violin (and LiLo playing a guest guitar solo !!). Very nice.

The Muziekgieterij is a fine location. The actual club is rather small, but then again, the MOSAE didn't bring a huge crowd, so it's all OK.

It was good to see a bunch of my Zappateer friends again. Great weather, nice people, good music,... What else does one need?

The only minor thing was the noisy audience. I got the impression that only fifteen people were actually listening to the music that was being played.

DAY TWO of MOSAE ZAPPA is today. So get your shoes and socks on people, ...

THE CLASH ORCHESTRA

The Clash Orchestra will be performing at the 'Paradox' club in Tilburg next Saturday. The program will include a couple of Steve Vai pieces !!
If my memory serves me right, the Clash Orchestra is the same ensemble that performed Zappa in concert in May 2008. They also did a Sun Ra tribute gig during the ZXWX festival (or something like that) later the same year. Only, at that time, they were still called the Clazz Orchestra.
If I wouldn't be going to the MOSAE festival in Maastricht on Friday & Saturday, I would most certainly be in Tilburg...
