John Zorn Six Litanies For Heliogabalus

After a few more listens, I have to correct myself; it's a decent album, but not among the Zornian masterpieces in my opinion.

I'm listening to it again today with Moonchild, and I've come to the conclusion that it's not bad at all. Let's say it's not among Zorn's best works, but still definitely a good album. More than anything, what confuses me about this trilogy are Patton's pre-verbal vocalizations, which occasionally teeter on the brink of gagging.

Muccino really gets on my nerves, I give a 1 to the character and I hope I won't be forced to watch the movie one day ;)

Fabrizio De André Non Al Denaro, Non All'Amore Nè Al Cielo

I believe that De André never considered himself, as you say, a literary figure (what an awful word, like something from a high school literature essay :( ), I think he is now turning in his grave...

Miles Davis Nefertiti

I wouldn't exactly call it free, let's say it's rather distinctive. It's definitely a great album, Nefertiti is brilliant, it rocks even though it's a jazz piece.

David Holland Quartet Conference Of The Birds

In my opinion, you underestimate Holland: "Holland is not a discoverer of new sounds, he has never contributed to the expansion of the language of his instrument, and he doesn't have any particular gifts as a composer or arranger." I disagree; he is a remarkable composer and arranger with a very modern sound, a synthesis of fusion, free jazz, and much more; his sound on double bass is extremely distinctive and easily recognizable. He has indeed contributed to the language of his instrument. He is not a second-tier artist; he is just a bit less famous than other jazz musicians, which I believe is unjust. I only know the title track of this album, and three stars seem a bit low. This guy really knows what he's doing; I recommend Extended Play, which is a great album.
