ANOTHER ZAPPA BOOK

German Zappa-freak Roland Blattner is preparing a collection of Zappa articles and interviews (from various magazines but all in English) to be bundled in an hardbound book.

Two tomes probably, about 700 pages each.
Should be ready for Zappanale.

THE MARRIED MONK

French band The Married Monk recorded and released their version of Captain Beefheart's 'Observatory Crest' on their "The Belgian Kick" album in 2004.

The album did get a vinyl re-issue last year.
With a completely different album cover.
But including the very same tracks.

The CD that got released on the Gonzo Multimedia label in 2015 has been re-issued on a 2 LP vinyl set. With a slightly altered album cover, that is.

P.F. THOMESE & CORRIE VAN BINSBERGEN, ALBERT VAN VEENENDAAL EN HET VU STRIJKENSEMBLE - SCHADUWKIND SUITE

• p.f. thomése & corrie van binsbergen, albert van veenendaal en het vu strijkensemble: schaduwkind suite
      (2014, cd, nl, rubinstein)

Literary publishing company Rubinstein released another audiobook (in 2014) in which writer P.F. Thomése reads fragments from his book "Schaduwkind", accompanied by Corrie van Binsbergen (guitar), Albert Van Veenendaal (piano) and the VU String Ensemble.

P.F. Thomése wrote "Schaduwkind" after his daughter had passed away.
Dark and gloomy, but also comforting.
Food for thought.

Emitional.
Moving.
Beautiful.

ZHONGYU - ZHONGYU

• zhongyu: zhonguy
      (2016, cd, usa, moonjune)

I mentioned Jon Davis' Zhongyu project a couple of weeks ago, but this album does need some extra attention, so here we go.
Jon Davis has been making music since the 70's. He also lived in Beijing for three years. The music that he creates, combines elements from the Rock in Opposition movement, from progressive rock and jazz, but also from Asian music. The result is amazing.

For Zhongyu, Jon Davis teamed up with three members of Moraine (Dennis Rea on the guitar, Alicia DeJoeie on electric violin, and James DeJoie on sax, flute and clarinet). Adding jazz drummer Randy Doak completed the quintet.

The album has been released on the MoonJune Records label, and the info that they add for this release nails it:
"Zhongyu is a band that aims to balance the opposites of music: composition and improvisation, serenity and chaos, harmony and dissonance, complexity and simplicity, acoustic and electric."

I like the fact that "Zhongyu" translates as "Finally" as it took Jon Davis quite a bit of effort to get this music performed. I'm glad he succeeded.
A beautiful album.
It needs your attention.
Recommended listening.
