Saxophonist David S. (Spencer) Ware was a towering presence on the New York free jazz scene, an artist of compelling gravity and musical intensity. Even after health problems that culminated in a 2009 kidney transplant, he came back strong, his post-operation return coming in a completely solo concert that was a strong statement. This year, the kidney problems returned, and he passed away last night after being hospitalized.
As I once wrote here, Ware united two strands of free jazz: the powerfully full-toned tenor sax blower, and the intellectual craftsman. Although Ware was classified as a free jazz player, he was mentored by Sonny Rollins (who among other things taught him circular breathing), and Ware's music looked back to some earlier jazz styles, though almost always in a fully assimilated way that had no revivalism about it.
Ware started playing around age 11. Oddly, while he played alto and baritone saxes plus bass in school,...

This Tuesday, March 30th, is the long awaited DVD/Blu-ray release date of Glenn McQuaid's I Sell the Dead, and our trilogy of interviews with its cast and crew continues with the one -- the only -- Angus Scrimm, who portrays the character of Dr. Vernon Quint in the film.
Elaine Lamkin: Thank you for taking time to do this interview with me, Angus. First question – how did you find yourself playing Dr. Quint in I Sell the Dead? What was the attraction? And how would you describe the good doctor, whose exit from the film is both hilarious and well-deserved?
Angus Scrimm: In January, 2008, this ruddy-cheeked Irish fellow with a perpetual twinkle in his eye turned up at the Burbank, California, studio where Larry Fessenden was filming the infamous rant I contributed to Jim McKenney's Automatons DVD "extras." Undeterred by what he saw, he offered me the role of Dr.

The folks at Variety never sleep, and neither do we. The trade reported on the winners at the recently concluded Slamdance Film Festival tonight, and not only did I Sell the Dead score the Richard Lopez an award for Best Cinematography, but Larry Fessenden's performance also received a Special Jury Mention. Congrats to all the parties involved!
For those unfamiliar with the Slamdance fest, its feature competition is limited to first-time filmmakers working with budgets under $1 million. And in case the specifics of I Sell the Dead have slipped your mind, it was written and directed by Glenn McQuaid; stars Dominic Monaghan, Ron Perlman, and Angus Scrimm along with Fessenden; and involves thieves, priests, and graverobbers. Quite a winning trio, I'd say!
While we wait to hear what's in store next for I Sell the Dead, be sure to check out our behind-the-scenes look at the film's zombie effects...

Phok asked if my partner, Pete Gerner, and I would be interested in helping realize the zombies needed. Being a major zombie freak I was more than interested, probably even cocky,...
