Dundaruve is a place to play. Maybe the print will be playful enough, | don’t ception of what they should sound Fike remains wide open yet always aware of the jazz tradition. And the same goes for the larger Tentet. “It’s all of the same coin,” says Gustatssun, “there’s a fot of connections. We move around the same kind of centres and we all try to break them apart.” While che players are busy deconstructing the music they are also involved in building bridges benveen geographical centres and ere- ative energies. Gustafsson and Chicago music critic John Corbett are putting together Pipeline, a huge exchange project set for September and October. “Eight Chicogans will travel to Stockholm to work with cight Stockholm musicians and we'll do the same and go to Chicago and work there. We have two commissions — we'll work in small groups and big groups, make some recordings. There’s a jot of things happening berween Stockholm and Chicago all the time.” Is the American city like a second home tor Gustafsson? “That's exactly the way I feel. I've been travelling back and forth for five years — maybe 15, 16 times now — [ve been working more there then working in Stockholm — now it’s changing because of the things hap- pening here in Stockholm. Chicago is still such a fantastic place to work in — great play ers, “audience, everything you can ask for. I'm always thrilied to go back.” As a second generation European tree jazz. player Gustafsson started elsewhere. “I was a teenager when punk rock exploded — my roots and creativity and cnergy comes from the punk rock movement and rock music. And “then jazz and improvised music just happened to kill me”... In October Gustafsson will be one of the curator’s responsible for a music festival sched- ~- uled to coincide with the opening of the * Oresund Link between Sweden and Denmark. “We are inviting Sonic Youth and other improvisers such as Jim O’Roarke to come and work for ten days. That will be something spe- ’ cial. There has never been such a creative con- . nection as there is now between rock music and groups that are interested in ‘improvised music.”” Sonic Youth will play concerts, record and " participate in workshops during . their stay in Sweden. — Over the last two decades Gustafsson has built a substantial - “axalogue of free improvised miusic.and as a record collector himself he knows how hard it is - to find some of the discs. “The Tnrernet is a great thing for this music — it makes it possibie to find difficult records — it was way more difficult ten years ago ‘to find improvised music.”. As ‘ far_as his own work is concerned “we put Gustafsson on the spot and asked for a critical assess- ment — he considers the rere *.1996 duo with Paul Lovens Nothing to Read (1,000 copies” : printed on Bluc Tower Records) as his first important album... By definiton free improvisa- -tion is more about process than finished product and Gustafsson a kcen student of the ever- changing musical soundscape. “Ve have to search for our own languages musically and person- ally and that’s one of the biggest mh S31 Bats oan cy outa | pe’. 988-2239" 4 L110 Foul Aft Vance Correction Notice In. our’ 6-1.

It’s a never ending story as we always have to work on our language and that’s what I like, We never get finished — it’s always a continuous exploration.” Story of a survivor From Paae one, his shows were sellouts and his fans could- n‘t get enough of him. All this came too easy, by his own admission, “I didn’t have to work at is; I dida’t even have te practice. It was there, it was always there, and once T thought it would be there forever.” Eddie Fisher rode a tidal wave of success. He married America’s sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, and they were viewed as the perfect couple. The truth is, they were never that, and when Fisher fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor and became involved in one of Hollywood’ 's most famous love triangles, the perfect couple crash landed. His later breakup with Taylor and subse- quent marriage to Connie Stevens made inter- national headlines. Then somewhere along the way, Fisher made a wrong turn and found him- self on the wrong end of the needle. Fisher tells his story with the strength of a survivor. He is quick to admit his past mis- takes, and is happy to take some pot shots at those around him. While at times appearing like a record of his conquests, his straightforward account of his life makes for a fascinating read. To hate flown so high, then fallen so low and still been able to face his demons, it’s impossi- ble to not end up liking him. — Terry Peters know, we'll see...
