>Someone I work with has recommended that I check out Jan Garbarek. >Have >any of you listers come across him and if so what albums are >worth >checking out? You can split Garbarek's work into 2 categories: his work with his group and his collaborations. The latter is where most of his most interesting work has been in recent years, but at the same time very hit-and-miss. His group has become very 'reliable', to put it kindly! My favourite group albums are the 2 with Bill Frisell (Paths, Prints and Wayfarer) and the one after with David Torn (It's Okay to listen to the Gray Voice. On these records Garbarek has got into his now familiar compositional stride, having worked off his early free jazz influences in favour of a much sparser approach, incorporating Norwegian folk melodies. In Garbarek, Eberhard Weber on bass, Jon Christensen (and to a lesser extent Michael Di Pasqua) and Frisell, then Torn you have 4 original voices on their respective instruments, playing with great restraint. As for collaborations, top of my list is Atmos with Miroslav Vitous. He's also made some great records with Ralph Towner (Dis and Solstice) and Deer Wan by Kenny Wheeler is something of a classic, but these probably aren't the best places to start. Perhaps get the recent Rarum compilation, see what you like and take it from there. Luckily for you I'm away from home and doing this from memory, otherwise I could have gone on even longer. Dave.

Fwd: Jan Garbarek

Madar and Officium are both great. If you've never heard Garbarek before I would strongly suggest keith jarrett's album "Nude Ants". It's two discs of mostly improvised live tracks. Some parts are a little cheezy but more than forgivable for all the great playing. And if you're like me and can't help but be amused when Jarrett starts moaning and drooling all over the piano this is also a good album because there is just enough of the drool to be funny and not be distracting.

More Drummin'
by Arthur Gadney 18 Oct '02

Good drumming, perhaps? According to Downtown Music Gallery: CYRO BAPTISTA - Beat the Donkey (Tzadik 7608) Featuring special guests Marc Ribot, John Zorn, Erik Friedlander, Jamie & Vanessa Saft, Peter Scherer, Romero Lubambo, Kevin Breit and Cyro's fabulous percussion ensemble - Beat the Donkey! Brazilian madman percussion wizard - Cyro Baptista, has played with just about everybody, a list would fill this page. Seeing and hearing Cyro in the Bar Kokhba Chamber Masada, Zorn improv sets and in the new Electric Masada, show how much of an incredible and completely unique percussionist he really is. His crazed percussion and chanting ensemble, Beat the Donkey, have been around for the past few years and their sets are always marvelous, intoxicating fun. This wonderful and wild release blends the band with all sorts of special guests and is a blast. "The Crab and the Shining Star" features Cyro's cool voice, some sick/heavy fuzz guitar from Viva De Concini and pounding percussion from Beat the Donkey. Cyro blows into bottles on "Sapo and the Prince" to create the sunny, funky, subtle rhythm backing Luciana Souza's enchanting voice and Romoero Lubambo's nylon string guitar. Marc Ribot provides the central groove and lovely solo on his nylon string guitar on "Cyrandeiro", another breezy Brazilian tune. One of the great and distinctive things about Cyro is the odd percussion instruments he uses - metal refrigerator drawers, ceramic pots, metaliphones, piramids, vacuum cleaner hoses and exotic things like surdo, pandeiro, hadgini, rayong and a tamborim machine. This allows Cyro and his other percussionists to create unique worlds of percussion based sounds. Four pieces feature just exotic percussion and each one is fascinating and completely different in textures and beats. "Sweet Cuica" has a hypnotic cuica or squeeze drum groove with jaw harp, tubes and metal percussion. Ribot whips out his trusty electric wah-wah guitar and wails on "O Canto Da Ema", but it is the wacky vocals by Tisza Coela and Cyro that really provide the strange magic. "Parar de Fumar" is another fun, Brazilian groove tune with cute vocals, nylon string guitar, clarinet and subtle percussion. Erik Friedlander on cello and Peter Scherer on synth add their dreamy sounds to "Anatacia", while Kevin Breit (steel or slide guitar), John Zorn (squealing sax) and Toninho Ferragutti (accordion) add their unique sounds to "Mr. Bugaloo". The final piece "Funk I/Live at La Plaza" is another intoxicating percussion fest by Beat the Donkey and also includes their performance on video as well. Go Cyro Baptista, Beat the Donkey and friends, your completely groovy magic has been captured! _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

I really dig Nilssen-Love on the School Days records, particularly his interaction with Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten on their version of Rosmosis.

I think that Garbarek has pretty good records. but others are very near to new age music. I like Afric Pepperbird, Madar, Officium. These are very different albums. They are dited by ECM. Simon Calle

Hello. > FROM NORWAY . THE FRODE GJERSTAD TRIO > > Frode Gjerstad . . . . . . . saxophone(s) .clarinet > Øyvind Storesund . . . . double bass > Paal Nilssen - Love . . . . drum kit . percussion (reviews and website at bottom of mail) I saw this trio in my home town Katowice, Poland a few months ago and I agree, Nilssen-Love was amazing. Check out his fantastic CD of solo drumming "Sticks And Stones". Really great and original. Another young drummer worth to mention is Sean Noonan of The Hub, anyone here knows them? I never saw them mentioned on zornlist and I think that many of you would love the band, especially live. More about them at www.crownmagazine.com. BTW - this is my first post to the list after about 1,5 year of subscribing :-) _______________________________ wojtek mszyca jr ---- wojszyca(a)emd.pl

drummin'
by Arthur Gadney 18 Oct '02

Hi. >- Ruins ~ Mandala 2000 Are what about the brand new one, "Twomborhga" (might want to check spelling!) I think that has excellent drumming. Actually, they all do. >- Tony Buck (The Necks) for keeping a regular pulse going for an hour at a >time whilst dropping in some subtle nuances. Yes!! Recent Han Bennink (Still criminally underrecorded, or at least mis-recorded!) "Post improvisation 2: air mail special", Incus CD 35. Duo with Derek Bailey. (quite unusual for Han, since it's very quiet and detailed the whole way through) "B + B (in Edam", ICP 037. Beresford/Bennink duo. "Four in one", Songlines SGL SA1535-5. Misha Mengelberg Quartet. (Very swinging and jazzy) "The grass is greener", psi 02.02. Han Bennink/Evan Parker duo. Oh, yea, and not really new, but "Shuffering & Shmiling" by Fela Kuti is one of my favorite percussion things as well. _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!
