Freancesco De Masi!!!!!!!! Remember that name if you want some KILLER Italian western music. BEAT Records from Italy has a killer cd out with three complete Francesco western soundtracks on one disc titled "Francesco De Masi's Western Soundtracks." A good place to start with Morricone is the 2 cd set on Rhino "The Ennio Morricone Anthology". It covers all his work, not just westerns. It will clue you in to which records you will be more interested in searching out the complete LP of. Besides, there is a lot of great non-western stuff on there - --- electronic, fusion, and just plain crazy stuff! TO AVOID: the DRG double disc A Quintet Of Morricone Westerns. It is a really disappointing disc overall with not too many good tracks. HOWEVER DRG has a series called Spaghetti Westerns. Most are double discs and are 50/50 good to bad. The one that is a single disc is great. I forget if it is vol 3 or vol 4. Forgive the spelling/grammar mistakes, I have to leave in a second and am in a hurry.

Should be THE Ventures (though they might have employed studio musicians under their supervision :)). I think they covered lots of Japanese TV themes during 70s. I haven't known any Japanese group under the name of the Ventures. They tour here so often that they soon discover the imitators :) There were/are some groups using such names as "Tokyo Ventures," "Tokyo Beatles," "Tokyo Rolling Stones," etc, though.

'Dance Around the Christmas Tree' and 'Lil Wally Sings Polish Christmas Carols' If you look at color spread in the latest 'Cool and Strange Music' (the one with Spike Jones on the cover) you will see one of my all time favorite covers 'Polka A Go-Go' It has a great picture of Lil Wally with three leopard skinned bikini wearing women. Lil' Wally was very very popular in the upper midwest region. He is probably the one person most responsible for the spread of polka music in the Wisconsin and Minnesota area in the 1950's. My father, who lives there, is a big polka fan, and he considers Lil Wally a real legend. Lil Wally formed his own record company (Jay Jay) and even had his own pressing plant. His biggest selling song 'Wish I was Single Again' peaked at #22 on the Billboard charts - not bad for a polka performer. He also wrote the song 'She Likes Kielbasa' - a favorite polka of mine. There's a web site here with more backgound, and some wild pictures of Wally playing the drums. http://www.poloniatoday.com/Wally.htm Vern # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 May 2000 11:19:10 -0500 From: Chris Strouth Subject: Re: (exotica) Barry Adamson Hi all, Barry Adamson rocks!!!! really one of the most underrepresented guys around.

He does have a tendency to mine the same territory a lot , and the latter records tend to be more "commercial" than his earlier records, but he is still one of the most imaginative guys out there.

He was 88. Among his diversified business interests were El Morocco, the legendary society nightclub, which he owned from 1964 to 1970, and, in the mid-1950's, Voisin, a restaurant popular with social and entertainment figures. Before taking over El Morocco, he owned the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach for several years. Born in Ukraine, Mr. Uchitel came to the United States in 1917. He entered the garment business, and eventually had his own business making shoulder pads before going into the restaurant trade. His 1945 marriage to Patricia Pollack, a singer, ended in divorce in 1979. He is survived by two grandchildren. - --------------------- Full obit at: http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/national/obit-b-ulanov.html Barry Ulanov, 82, a Scholar of Jazz, Art and Catholicism By BEN RATLIFF,NYTimes Barry Ulanov, a professor and author or translator of nearly 50 books whose interests included jazz, theater, Christian humanism visual art, Carl Jung and Catholic literature, died Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 82 and lived in Manhattan and Woodbury, Conn. Mr. Ulanov placed popular culture within the context of American art rather than isolating it as mere entertainment, and wrote some of America's first serious books on jazz. He taught at Princeton University and Barnard College for almost four decades, covering subjects as varied as literature, art, religion and psychology. His father was concertmaster of Arturo Toscanini's NBC Philharmonic and had a horror of jazz. He wanted his son to become a classical violinist. But the younger Mr. Ulanov, already smitten with jazz, broke both his wrists in a car accident as a teenager; this served as a convenient excuse to stop playing the violin. He chose Columbia University over Harvard to be closer to Harlem's jazz scene. There he studied with the anthropologist Franz Boas and the critic Lionel Trilling; he edited the literary magazine, publishing some of the first articles and cartoons by Thomas Merton; and began to write about jazz for The Spectator. After graduating in 1939 he became the editor of Metronome, a classical music magazine that also covered white swing bands. He remade the magazine, adding a focus on jazz, bebop and black performers. In the 1940's he planned a trilogy on the figures he considered most important in American popular music: Duke Ellington, Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. "Duke Ellington," published in 1946, was the first biography of Ellington. "The Incredible Crosby" was published in 1948; the Armstrong book was never written. Mr. Ulanov also wrote two overviews of jazz history, "A History of Jazz in America" and "A Handbook of Jazz," both in the 1950's. During the 1950's, he wrote about music for Esquire, Vogue, and Down Beat, as well as scripts for radio and television. He was known for championing bebop performers, particularly Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. He was also an early crusader for the work of the pianist Lennie Tristano, who repaid the favor by writing a tune called "Coolin' Off With Ulanov."

Great japanese surf band from the 60's I have 3 records by them, real nice. Some surf standards and some originals. Terry sings on a lot of the tracks too. If there is someone out there that has more info on Terry or his band the Bunnys, I would surely like to know more about him. - -jonny ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 19:48:27 -0400 (EDT) From: Lou Smith Subject: (exotica) epulse 6.18 [nostalgia] - excerpts Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 11:19:37 -0700 (PDT) From: epulse mailing list Subject: epulse 6.18 [nostalgia] CONTENT / May 5, 2000 Welcome back to epulse, the musically omnivorous weekly ezine of Pulse! magazine. ________________________ A peek at the notebooks of your favorite editors. 2. COMPILATION OF THE WEEK: Growing up in the '50s and '60s, there were some commonly offered up pictures of the future. Key among them (at least to me) was the notion that we'd be riding on monorails in the next century. That notion was sonically enhanced when, at the age of about 12, I bought a Columbia Masterworks album of electronic music by Morton Subotnick. That record served as the soundtrack when my friend Chuck Bell and I would make recordings on a little reel-to-reel deck, dreaming up ludicrous scenarios of space exploration and extraterrestrial hijinks. More than three decades have come and gone since that time. I forgot all about the monorails and so did most everybody else. 'OHM: THE EARLY GURUS OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC' (Ellipsis Arts, out now) is a three-disc set celebrating the dawn of electronic music. For the most part, these 42 pieces recorded between 1948 and 1980 sound like a curious branch from the past -- a branch that jutted out one way while everything else went in a different direction. Though there's an element of looking back at a view of the future that's now outdated, this presentation is thankfully free of nostalgia. This is a noble document and is sufficiently rich and varied to allow listeners their own emotional stake in the sounds. Awe, dazzle, bemusement, mystery, and even the possibility of nostalgic reveries are mingled throughout these wildly varied pieces. In fact, what was once so completely different and surprising can now be heard purely as it is, free from the constraints of its era. And yes old Mr. Subotnick's on board as is everyone else from John Cage to Terry Riley, Edgard Varese to Pauline Oliveros, Milton Babbitt to Holger Czukay, and Clara Rockmore to Brian Eno -- who also wrote the forward to the accompanying 96 page book.(David Greenberger) 4. GROOVEBOX OF THE WEEK: Oh my, this is a good album. The idea behind 'AT HOME WITH THE GROOVEBOX' (Grand Royal, out now) was to give a Roland MC 505 Groovebox -- described in the liner notes as "a compact programmable synthesizer containing sounds from the 808 & 909 drum machines, [and] the 303 bass machine" -- to a group of musicians and see what each one did with it. The end result is a neurotic blend of vintage electronic samples and warped beats; something that 1950s aliens would produce if they wanted to get a groove on. Despite such prominent artists as Beck, Air, Sonic Youth and Pavement, the best songs come from the more obscure artists. French electronica pioneer Jean Jacques Perrey saturates his epileptic track, 'Groovy Leprechauns,' with nearly every sample he can squeeze out of the 505. Syncopated bells compete with hiccuping pops, squeaks and scratches to a slapped bass riff. It works well as the opening track, introducing the listener to the Groovebox's capabilities. Scottish trio bis' "Oh My" opens with Kraftwerkian vocals and then bursts into infectious '80s hip-hop with a catchy chorus shouting, "I can do it with my MC 505/You can do it with your MC 505." The hypnotic mantra may just convince you to get your own Groovebox, which leads one to wonder why Roland didn't come up with this marketing concept; the album is a showcase more of the Groovebox than of the artists. It's also ecstasy for the ears.

It's a Bill Murray spy spoof with a swingin' "spy jazz" score by Chris Young (especially the title sequence--featuring sort of a Lalo Schifrin meets Raymond Scott theme). Plus, the movie's crammed with great exotica tunes as source music! Henri Rene's "Hansel and Pretzel" and Mel Torme's "Comin' Home Baby"-- I think it was Mel--both blare from a car radio during a chase and "Fever" by The Three Suns punctuates one scene between Bill Murray and Joanne Whalley (somebody must've had a jones for "Fever"--about four different versions in the movie so far). I'd heard of this movie but hadn't seen it before tonight. I gather it didn't do that well at the box office. Pretty cool. Anybody see this movie? Has it ever been mentioned here before??
