SHUFFLE BOIL 5/6

FILE UNDER MUSIC. Edited by David Meltzer and Steve Dickison. This fat double "comeback issue" features sections dedicated to Cecil Taylor and to Eric Dolphy, with contributors Clark Coolidge, Ulla Dydo, Lorenzo Thomas, Howard Eiland, Mike Zwerin, et al. The magazine's emphasis (poets on music) lands on jazz and other musics new and not so new, with essays, interviews, and even the occasional music-related poem. Trombonist Roswell Rudd becomes "The Artist Formerly Known as Avant-Garde"; improvising violinist Leroy Jenkins is interviewed by L.A. guitarist Jim McAuley; late Swedish pianist Per Henrik Wallin is profiled by Mr. Dickison, while Dr. Meltzer profiles late Canadian guitarist Lenny Breau; Anthony Barnett documents early women jazz violinists; Val Wilmer remembers (and photographs) Margie Hendrix; Peter Garland on shamanic voices; Jack Collom on yodeling; Daniel Cassidy on the Irish etymology of the word "jazz"; Fred Ho on Jazz the tv show; Larry Kearney on Thelonious Monk's music; Summer Brenner's Atlanta R&B memoir; Tom Raworth's playlist; George Albon on Otis Redding; Forrest Gander on Vic Chesnutt; Evans Matambanadzo on hiphop in Kenya; Kit Robinson on music in Cuba. Much more, including reviews of books, video, and audio, plus an Index to issues 1-6. Cover photo of Cecil Taylor by Chris Felver.
