Borderless音楽の仕掛人Bill Laswell
守備範囲はポップスからジャズ果ては現代音楽、World Music に及ぶ。ほとんどがプロデュース業だが、とんでもなく多作。

Material
Bill Laswellが衆目を集めたのは何と言ってもCelluloidレーベルのGolden PalominosとMaterialでの活動でしょう。
この"Memory Service"はMaterialの1枚目のLPです。パーソネルはSonny Sharrock, Henry Kaiser : Guitar, Fred Frith : Guitar, Violin, Xylophone
Henry Threadgill : Alto Sax, George Lewis : Trombone, D.S.T. : Turntable, Daniel Ponce : Percussion, Anton Fier : Drums
Alternative Funk Jazz Rockといった感じです。なんと言ってもSonny Sharrock, Henry ThredgillといったPunk Jazz~Free Jazzの演奏家が入っていること自体が凄い。あ、George Lewisもだ。加えてHip Hop育ちのD.S.T.。渾然一体とした強烈なキックです。
"Memory Service"の続きといったニュアンスのLPですが、ゲストミュージシャンに
Nona Hendryx, Whitney Houston, Nile Rogers, Daniel Ponce,
Archie Shepp, Oliver Lake, Fred Frith
といったところがラインアップされている。何でもありのすごい顔ぶれです。
Material were
Michael Beinhorn : Synthesizers, Drum machine, Electronics, Purcussion
Bill Laswell : Music Man Sting Ray Bass, Fender Precision Bass
このLPもすごいです。P-Funk と JB's をかき集めてきたようなにぎわいです。
Bootsy Collins, Gary Shider, Gary Mudbone Cooper, Herbie Hancock, Bernie Worrell, Jeff Bova, Robbie Shakespear, Sly Dunbar
Fred Whesley, Maceo Parker, Alfred "PeeWee" Ellis
Funkadelicの"Cosmic Slob"なんかやっていて、基本姿勢はFUNKと言う事。
このＬＰでは一気に雰囲気が変わります。インドの匂いがプンプンします。何と言ってもSitarが入っているのと、
ShankarのViolinのせいでしょう。どういう経緯からかWilliam S. Burroughsがしゃべくりまくってます。
William S. Burroughs, Rammellzee, Fody Musa Suso, Fahiem Dandan : VOICES, Nicky Skopelitis : Guitars, BAGLAMA, CORAL SITAR, SAZ,
FAIRLIGHT, Simon Shaheen, Shankar : VIOLIN, Bill Laswell : BASSES, ACOUSTIC GUITAR, TAPES, PERCUSSION, Jeff Bova : ELECTRONIC KEYBOARDS,
Sly Dunbar : DRUMS, FAIRLIGHT, Aiyb Dieng : PERCUSSION
いきなり1曲目でWayne ShorterのSoprano Saxです。Weather Reportの"Cucumber Slumber"なんかもやっています。
と思ったら、前作の流れのままShankar のViolinをフィーチャーしたインド~中近東音楽ぽい曲を演奏しています。さらにまたしてもBurroughsが登場します。
Wayne Shorter : Soprano and Tenor Sax, William S. Burroughs, Liu Sola : VOICES, Nicky Skopelitis : Guitars, BAGLAMA, CORAL SITAR, SAZ,
FAIRLIGHT, Simon Shaheen : VIOLIN and OUD, Shankar : VIOLIN, Bill Laswell : BASSES, BEATS, LOOPS, SAMPLES,etc. Jeff Bova :SYNTHESIZERS,
Sly Dunbar : DRUMS, Aiyb Dieng : CHATAN, CONGAS, PERCUSSION, Bernie Worrell : Electric Piano, Hammond B-3, Bootsy Collins : Space Bass,
Jihad Racy : Ney, Jonas HellBorg : Acoustic Bass guitar, Fretless Bass , and many musicians
Golden Palominos

"Last Exit"
Laswellのまた一つの展開。Material や Golden Palominos がかなりFree Jazz的であってもRockの範疇で考えられるのに対し、
Last Exit はモノホンのFree Jazzが入ってます。

"Transmutation(Mutatis Mutandis)"
Funk Punk の新人類をかってFunkを作り上げた重鎮達と組ませて新しい音楽を模索している。その名の通り突然変異を期待しているかの様だ。

AXIOM Labelでコンピを作ったと思しきAlbumだが、主たる登場人物はParliament-Funkadelicであって、ちゃんと一貫性がある。中でもEddie Hazel(1992年没）のフィーチャーされている曲が数曲あって特に敬意を払われているように見える。
しかし、"Funkcronomicon"というネーミングはH.P. Lovecraft (このネーミングもなんか凄いよな）の小説シリーズ"Necronomicon"(クトゥルークトゥ神話と呼ばれる、似非暗黒神話体系)に倣っているんだろうけど、
まぁ遊んでるんですね、ジャケット画なんかおどろおどろしいんだけど、相変わらずFunka系の漫画Jacket画
路線で楽しませてくれる。

"Shiva Station"
Jai Uttal & the Pagan Love Orchestra
タイトル名からも想像のつくとおりインドのPops/jazzです。
やたらとサイケな感じがするのは、サイケデリックミュージックこそがインド音楽の影響を受けている性です。
殆ど全ての曲で神の名が呼ばれています。Bill Laswell は単にMix Translationとなっているだけです。
ま、好きそうな音楽ということで○です。
Don Cherry に祈りを捧げられています。free jazzの先駆者でもあり、World Musicに強くコミットしていた
Don Cherry の影響はここにも及んでいたと言うことですか。
アルチュール・ランボーの詩にインド、アフリカ音楽をかぶせた装い。
