I read the cnn interview with Ms Whalen[yes I know shes married].
I must admit I wasnt very impressed with the journalist.Ialso find
comparisons to Billie Holiday[sp]the easy way out .It doesnt even imply that
thought was used .Simlarities in vocal sound?Yes but I have heard other women
who are much closer in range and style.
I walked away from reading the article with a negative feeling .Iam a snz
fan and a fan of the jazz squad and I have noticed a maturing of Ms whalens
voice and Iam curious as to where that will lead .I just didnt feel I needed
to know about the low attendance in new york or the lazy critics opinions of
Ms Walen [and SNZ].
Maybe it was my bias because I am a fan that made me dislike this article.I
suppose I should be happy that she got some exposure .
What do you all think?
sincerely
Sambone

Hey, since i know a few of y'all can't afford the new BOF album, and i love
it so much i want everyone to have it....i decided The Shrub should give
away a copy of it.
So go to www.theshrubbery.com and read the review of the album then see how
to enter the contest. I decided this was much more fair than me just buying
everyone a copy :)

In the magizine, "Jazz Times", there is an artical with a stunning picture of
Katherine. I suggest you all get it. It's an interview about Jazz Squad.

Subject: Oh! The Grandeur Review
Helloooo Dahlings!
I just read Jess' review of Oh! The Grandeur. Great stuff Jess! You're an
amazing writer!
First off, the liner notes for Grandeur are simply amazing. Andrew is up
there with Julian Cope (Brit artist) for giving good liner notes. Riveting
reading! What I got from the liner notes, in contrast to Jess' review and
in reference to Andrew's brother being autistic and his grandfather eating
oignons, was that Andrew was doing a nice bit of creative writing. I don't
think that there was any truth to his notes. He was executing the "tongue
in cheek" style of writing . For example, on "Tea and Thorazine", to the
side of the liner notes, Andrew writes "Note: This song contains three
characters and one crackpot idea". Hence, none of the people that were
featured in the song exist.
I love the drawings in the liner notes. What is that thing to the side of
the lyrics for "Wishing for Contentment"? It looks like a garlic clove with
a well pump stuck to the top of it.
Ok. Here are the songs that I like best:
Candy Shop (Hooray for Andrew! I can't wait for the film to come out).
Wait (The violin playing is very lovely).
Vidalia
Beware (Starts off sounding like the soundtrack to a Tim Burton movie).
Dora Goes to Town (Why weren't the lyrics posted for this song?)
Feetlips (I can't imagine this song being used for a commercial. I also
can't imagine BOF actually lending the song to be in a commercial.
Something is amiss here. Well at least the creative directors at the
advertising companies have good taste).
Coney Island Shuffle (I love this song).
What's Your Angle (Triangle)? (I love the lyrics to this song. They remind
me of a "Mr. Men" book).
The BOF style of music also reminds me of the author James Purdy. Great
stuff.
Oh yes, is anybody going to the record release launch? How about the movie
that is or has come out. Any word on that?
Take care,
Theresa.

Sorry if this reads like a spam... but...
Go to http://www.vinceworld.com and download the new animation, "why
can't our children read?" It's really thought-provokingly cool (and
scary as hell!)

Subject: Listen to Trou Macacq on Headphones
Pretty cool... my Stax high-$$ headphones have been dormant since way
before I got into SNZ. Most songs sound more or less the same, but on Trou
Macacq all the horns are on the left and on the right almost nothing but
Tom and Stu! And Tom's noisemaker. Pretty cool sound... most music
doesn't have much channel separation anymore. I've been playing with my
8-track and mixer and working on multi-sax arrangements... pretty much fun.

Danny Elfman was the brilliant leader of a band called Oingo Boingo.
He does a lot of movie soundtracks now.
If you've seen a movie in the last 10 years or so, you've heard his music.

Thanks, Ryan, for the tip!
It should be mentioned that the first 14 minutes of the webcast
are dead air, so don't be concerned if you don't hear anything—
just drag the RealPlayer over a bit to reach the 14 minute mark.
Great stuff!

Oingo Boingo! Dead Man's Dance! Wierd Science! And many more! I am
friends with his nephew, who is the brother of the husband of Jenna Elfman.
Danny Elfman is Jenna Elfman's Uncle-in-Law so to speak.
