Prohibition Era. The Tex-Mex border in a town called Jericho, occupied by an Italian gang and an Irish gang of bootleggers just far enough from Chicago or Brooklyn to call this a Western. A great western, "The Long Riders" meets "Miller's Crossing."
Sheriff Bruce Dern ain't doing too good a job keeping the peace. Bruce Willis is an hombre with no name - until the gang insists. He gives himself the name of John Smith, as good a handle as any for a guy who's about to bring down Jericho and the hell that's in it. This is all done to a sensational score by Ry Cooder that makes this American in the same way that Ennio Moricone's scores made Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns so definitively European.

"Silence. Sounds are only bubbles on its surface. They burst to disappear."

On May 15, 1958, a few months before Cage's memorable appearance in Darmstadt, some friends organized a concert for the then 45 year old composer in New York's Town Hall. The friends were Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Emile de Antonio. The pieces performed were written over a period of 25 years, between 1934 and 1958, and they reflect not only Cage's search for new compositional processes and means of expression but also the seed for all the technical procedures and the ideological basis of his later compositions: the interest in Eastern philosophies, the involvement with "silence", and the introduction of chance as a compositional procedure. Four of the nine works documented in the album were first performances: "Six Short Inventions for Seven Instruments", "She is Asleep" (the first complete performance), "Music for Carillon", and "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra", in which Merce Cunningham took the helm as the conductor and David Tudor at the piano.
