Dieter Roth and Raymond Chandler are hardly a likely pairing but halfway through Dieter Roth Collected Interviews as I am Chandler crops up in an interview with Dieter Schwarz from 1983. It prompted me to want to read him again, not having done so for many years and luckily I found The Big Sleep in a charity shop the next day. It was like meeting an old friend from the moment I read the opening chapter...an old friend who has not changed one bit...who is a great as I remembered. As Dieter Roth says, I can always read him...I don't need any other fairytales.
By chance today, whilst drawing, with the music library in shuffle mode this track cropped up. Gelbart retain a Jazzy noirish flavour whilst being typically offbeat...
