Hu Die 50:43 Audience recording 51min Unknown source Liner notes from the original trader: Michael Dorf (Knitting Factory owner): Man, that is though given me have 4 shows per night, 365 days a year, for 13 years just at the New York Club. Then add our festivals, tours, and all the shows i have gone to, outside of what we produce. Vrey hard. If i was to pick a major turning point that i will always remember, it was John Zorn's Hu Die at the club our first year. Packing the club was intense then. We had every square inch filled, with really interesting people. But the music was so different, so artistic, creative, absolutely unique, and a blend of different sounds, not just music, but spoken words and text, that i was blown away. It was Bill Frisell and Fred Frith on guitars, with words by Ruby Chang, of an Arto Lindsay text. It was by far the coolest thing i have ever seen and it represents the genious of Zorn. It was what turned me on to him, what made me put him on the pedestal of creativity which made me a follower and supporter of what ever he did. For 10 years, i saw so much of his work, perhaps 200 shows and 50 different line-ups and projects. But it was Hu Die that opened my eyes. Of course, not to mention the first Lou Reed show at the Knit would also be a lie, in terms of how excited and cool and amazing it was. But it was not the face slapper of Hu Die. |
