Just a few responses to some recent net.music comments;


	Re; Art Ensemble of Chicago - I haven't heard their recent
albums, but I used to love them. If you think it's 'wierd noise',
I would guess you are unfamiliar with the whole 'free jazz' scene
of the 60's. People like Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor,
Pharoh Sanders, Eric Dolphy, John Coltrane, etc., were doing all
sorts of powerful, innovative stuff. The Art Ensemble came out of
that tradition.

	By the way, I used to know/play with their percussionist,
Don 'unpronounceable_Arabic_name_which_I've_forgotten' Moye, when
he lived in Detroit. When he left, he stole my soprano saxophone.

	Re; 'someday people will think Jackson Pollock is beautiful' -
I have a large Pollock reproduction in my livingroom. I think it's
extreemly beautiful!

	Curious coincidence; One of the more famous 'free jazz'
albums is Ornette Coleman's 'Free Jazz' - and the cover has a
full color reproduction of a Pollock painting ('White light', I
think).
