Hard
Weather Makes Good Wood

records the debut CD of composer John Morrison
"
judging from this case, Morrison has one hell of a decade
in front of him."

College 500"

'John's work reminds us
that we can't become paralyzed. There always have been and always
will be forces beyond our control, but those forces don't define
us. We are defined by the ways we weather the storms; we are defined
by our struggles. Life is a challenge to which we can, and must,
rise. Springtime is a joy and a blessing, but hard weather makes
good wood.'' Liner Notes by Bill Snyder |

Dig recalls an evening (4/29/00) when a new music ensemble
played lounge music at a Minneapolis nightclub...Crime jazz,
exotica, bachelor pad music, played by a band known for its
performances of Maxwell Davies, Varése, Nancarrow and
Zappa. . .The show capped an ICE tour through the Midwest,
when Schulthess unleashed the full fury of his band, everybody
looked at one another in wild surmise. The looks said: 'These
cats are bad' Liner
notes by Dr. Phil Ford
Includes performances of Prelude Fugue and Riffs by Leonard
Bernstein, Touch of Evil by Henry Mancini, Taki Rari by Yma
Sumac, and the World Premiere of Three Views of Havana by Robert
Drasnin
