There are kind of two versions of the dude - the acoustic monster who plays jazz like it sounds in your nightmares (especially when he's collaborating with William Parker - their <I>Duo</I> record has the most terrifying version of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" you've ever heard), and the experimentin' dude who collaborates with anybody on any instrument - lots of drum loops, hip-hop drums, samples, etc. Check out either <I>Nu-Bop</I> or his record <I>Vs. Anti-Pop Consortium</I> to hear that side of the dude. I'm a huge fan of his. He scares me in all the right ways. <BR/><BR/>--d <BR/><BR/>P.S., sorry I'm such a flake these days, I still owe you an email (and the one you sent me is starred in my Gmail inbox, if that counts for anything). I'm glad you've got one of these, and I'll write back with something about something besides Matthew Shipp soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
