February 12
1. Mata & WK: "Mapinduzi" from "Mapinduzi" Arion
2. Anon.: "Horn Ensemble" from "Central African Republic" Unesco Collection
3. Goran Bregovic: "Kalasnijikov" from "Undergound" CIBY 2000
-I just saw Underground (twice) this week, as it finally came to
Ottawa. My God! One of greatest and most powerful films ever! And the
music!
4. Old World Folk Band: "Kalinka" from "Crossing New Borders" OWFB
Productions nr
5. Yaacov Shapiro: "Vintz mir a Bisele Glik" from "Yiddish Traditional
Songs" ARC
-one of the nicest baritones I know, singing these great tunes.
6. Astor Piazzolla: "Sextet" from "Luna" Hemisphere
7. D.D. Jackson: "For Mama" from "Rhythmn Dance" Justin Time c
-A student of Don Pullen--a jazz pianist who is simply phenomenal.
Unfortunately the three albums D.D. Jackson has on Justin Time all involve
other musicians. That doesn't detract too much from the music in this
piece however, I think largely because the doublebass is bowed rather than
fingered. It makes such a huge difference for me. My slow and painful
exploration of jazz, that so problematic music, continues....
8. Dermot Byrne: "Tico Tico" from "Dermot Byrne" Xenophile
9. MacUmba: "Heaven Scent" from "Don't Hold Your Breath" Greentrax
10. Johann Sebastien Bach, trans. Ferrucio Busoni: "Toccata & Fugue in d
minor BWV 565" performed by Nikolai Demidenko Hyperion
-these two last tracks fit rather well together. The MacUmba piece
is based on a hornpipe entitled "Hellbound Train" apparently, and it uses
a lot of repeating melodic figurations and sequences in order to imitate
the sound and continual motion of a train. Interestingly enough, these
type of melodic patterns and momentum are very Baroque and very common in
the music of Bach (quite a while before the appearence of trains), as the
fugue, in particular, demonstrates. In any case, Bach can work after
almost anything, though it is difficult to follow Bach with anything.
11. Said Chraibi: "Oud & Percussion" from "B'Ismillah" SoundsTrue
12. Huseyin & Gunay Turkmenler: "Gelin oy oy" from "Songs & Dances from
Turkey" ARC
13. Diego de Los Santos: "Martinette" from "B'Ismillah" SoundsTrue
14. Oscar Lopez: "El Vuelo del Flamingo" from "Heat" Narada c
15. Afro-Cuban All-Stars: "Amor Verdadero" from "A Toda Cuba le Gusta"
Nonesuch/World Circuit
16. Celso Machado: "Ponteado Africano" from "Varal" indie c
17. Xiao-Fen Min: "Zhao Jun Crosses the Fontier Pass" from "Spring, River,
Flower" Asphodel
18. Yaru Maliri: "Shah Batha'I" from "The Mystic Fiddle of the
Proto-Gypsies" Shanachie
19. Kocani Orkestar: "Erdelezi Avela" from "L'Orient est Rouge" Cramworld
20. Anon.: "Erdelezi Avela" from "Time of the Gypsies, special edition lp"
-Would the real Erdelezi Avela step forward? This is still a mystery
to me, two completely different tunes, the same name. I assume the second
from the Time of the Gypsies is the real Erdelezi Avela (I don't have the
groups name, because I never actually seen the special edition lp, this
was taken from a CDR).
21. Goran Bregovic: "Wedding Cocek" from "Undergound" CIBY 2000
22. Christine & Hewson Smith: "Sound Symposium Jig/Sue Weary's Waiting for
this" from "Like Ducks" Borealis c nr
due to the very large amount of promotional material which CKCU receives
regularly and the lengthy delay in processing CD's, any CD cannot be
guaranteed immediate attention on my show. If you wish to be sure
something receives my attention, please send a SECOND copy
either to CKCU's address with that intention clearly stated, or to my home
address which is available by request (simply e-mail me).

You should try Mal Waldron sometimes: rather stark, "minimalistic" piano
jazz with strong influences from Satie and Debussy.
Or Andy Statman's phenomenal "Between Heaven & Earth" (Shanachie) - Jewish
liturgical music handled in a Coltraneish fashion. Your life just won't be
the same!

Have you heard Contrapunctus XIII on the new Edgar Meyer album "Uncommon
Ritual" (Sony Classic) yet? A wonderful arrangement for arco-bass, mandolin
and 5-string banjo!
