Alan Sondheim performed at the Bowery Poetry Club on Dec. 16, 2008.
ESP-DISK' recently re-printed Alans' cd (ESP1048-Ritual-all-7-70). Available at http://espdisk.com/catalog/Individual...
ALAN SONDHEIM, RITUAL-ALL-7-70. Alan Sondheim was the young, exuberant leader of a pack of improvisers in their communal loft in Providence, Rhode Island. Undaunted by attempts to categorize electronic music as the province of academic tinkerers, a cold, unfriendly realm, with its own authorities, and audiences and mystique, they plunged fearlessly, joyously and unselfconsciously into the medium, discovering new way to express their ideas. Their ESP cds, ESP 1048, RITUAL all 7-70 and ESP 1082, T'OTHER LITTLE TUNE, merge free improvisation and electronic instrumentation.

ESP 4049 (Charles)
Charles, Barnacled's new full-length, and first outing for ESP-Disk', is a rollicking, propulsive offering featuring the band in some of its most intricate formations. This deftly arranged record follows Barnacled as it tightens itself into high corners, only to purposely fall down, find new ground, and pick itself back up again. This work is highly playful, even at its most intense—and it does get intense, with saxophone battles surging over electronics and highly distorted accordion fire offerings. Then all of a sudden the sound drops out, save for a plaintive lone bassoon call, or static from a short-wave radio that sounds soothing by comparison. Intertwining rhythms and melody lines then revolve around a pulse that creates a new frame of reference while also complicating it. This music invites deep listening, and rewards the curious. Often it is simply mesmerizing—essentially what adventurous minds have come to expect from the legendary ESP-Disk' oeuvre.
Featured Artists:
Frank Difficult: electronics/keyboard
Michael Jeffries: bass/baritone saxophone/modified Speak & Spell
Jason McGill: alto saxophone/percussion/shortwave radio
Matt McLaren: drums/percussion
Alec K. Redfearn: accordion
Ann Schattle: horn in F
Erica Schattle: bassoon
This video was filmed at the Bowery Poetry Club in NYC. December 16, 2008. Presented by ESP-DISK'.

Yximalloo is a one-man mysterious phenomenon. He has maintained obscurity, even though he has been making and recording music since the 1970's and his champions include artists as diverse as Jad Fair (Half Japanese), Momus, and members of Animal Collective.
This is Yximalloo's first recording in 9 years, and it is his first to include his one-man-band sound of guitar, laptop and vocals. It builds on his primitive trance-like rhythms mixed with offbeat pop sensibilities by way of crude electronic sampling. A true masterpiece, a modern-day Moondog off the streets of present-day Tokyo, London, NYC, and wherever you happen to be.
Featured Artists:
Yximalloo Dell Latitude c 600
Pstan Lyrics (track #1)
Chris Manz Piano (track #16)

13 year old guitarist Sean Levitt was improvising on a borrowed guitar at the Central Park fountain for a young attentive audience when he was spotted by ESP. While being auditioned, Sean mentioned his musical family, which included his father, drummer Al Levitt; his mother, vocalist Stella Levitt; his 15 year old drummer brother George; his singing sisters Michele (16), Minou (14) and Teresa (11); and his two younger brothers Billy (9) and Robin (6) who had not as yet chosen their instruments, although Billy was convinced that if he could get his hands on a flute, he could play it.
Levitts - We Are the Levitts Sean's great-great-grandfather on his mother's side was a young Lisbon architect who voyaged to Mexico to design the church of Santa Maria del Oro, and there married Mariana, a beautiful Mexican girl. His grandfather is a classical and flamenco guitarist who, as a youth, ran away with a band of gypsies, and learned to play the guitar. He settled in California where he performed on radio and motion picture sound tracks.
Sean's parents, Al and Stella, worked with Georgie Auld in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and toured with Lionel Hampton. Father Al played with Stan Getz, Paul Bley and Lee Konitz. Al lived in Paris during the 1950s and played there with Sidney Bechet, Bud Powell, Luckey Thompson, Martial Solal, Barney Wilen, Stephane Grappelly, Rene Urteger and Sacha Distel.
Featured Artists:
This CD features the Levitts, playing with close friends, Chick Corea and Bob Leeman on piano; Ted Kotick, bass; Pete Yellin, alto sax and flute; Eddie Shu, harmonica; Evaline Steinbrock, cello; Ronnie Cuber, baritone sax; Lou Orensteen, flute; Don Heller, vocal and Larry Provost, composer and guitarist.
