Jews in Hell: Radical Jewish Acculturation

[AllenLowe]

titled as above, my new CD has just appeared on my doorstep; 2 cd set with myself on alto, synth, guitar and vocals;

plus:

Matt Shipp solo piano and in duet with me on guitar (three cuts)

Marc Ribot solo guitar (2 cuts)

Erin McKeown, vocal (one cut)

Randy Sandke, trumpet

Scott Robinson, contra bass clarinet (Robinson and Sandke are on two cuts)

Lewis Porter, solo piano (one cut)

and others

all self-composed except for one trad tune (Oh Molly Dear)

I know this is not the "offering and selling" forum, but I will sell it to Organissimo members for $11 shipped.

It is basically a 2 cd autobiography and self-summation.

Happy to solicit reviews and send review copies as well as radio station copies. email me at alowe@maine.rr.com

it's a strange one, I think, but I just listened to it and actually like it.

That's an f'ing awsome title, to state the obvious.

[Guest donald petersen]

i think erin mckeown opened for some crappy band i was in during college at the campus student bar.

[AllenLowe]

she's a great performer, basically an indie folk/rocker, I would say. Nice person too, starting to get some increased national attention. I wrote a piece for her based on the old melody Wildwood Flower -

Count me curious...

[AllenLowe]

allright, but I only have ten fingers and ten toes - and one abnormally large appendage -

[AllenLowe]

allrght, cheapskates - I AM trying to get some reviews of this thing and radio play - willing to send promos for either - email me at alowe@maine.rr.com

This title seems to require the "perfect" cover art to sell it. Does it involve a penis and bagels?

[AllenLowe]

even better - there's a picture of me on the cover -

the back, however, has a large Jesus on it -

[Lazaro Vega]

Thanks Allen. Looking forward to checking out the trio tracks, especially, with Sandke and Robinson.

When I read your notes, Allen, I thought you'd come across a lost Bix composition--"I Am a Swan''--but then I remembered that that's what Bix said. BTW, thanks for the bonus Buddy Bolden cylinder that came with it!

[AllenLowe]

not a problem; unfortunately it's Buddy Bolden from Flatbush, a wedding singer I used to work with -

[ghost of miles]

Huh well, that explains a lot... and accounts for "the sound of surprise" that I experienced. Did you clue Wynton in too?
