[Jandek] Austin show review

[Aaron Russell]

No, he was not contacted by Corwood.  As I understand it, Dave Dove  
(a great trombonist from Houston) was asked by Barry Esson to put  
together a group of musicians to Jandek's specifications (two  
drummers and a bassist).  Dave selected musicians that he thought  
would be appropriate for the performance, and I think he did a great  
job.

Nick did write Corwood last year requesting Jandek to play in Texas,  
but I do not think that Jandek had anything to do with his being  
selected to play at this show.
