by, but this week we have a weighty program. It is a concept album that
is about the most complex thing to try and explain... and even after I
explain it - you can listen without understanding the concept or
chasing down the many many links that I've tracked down and still enjoy
the project to it's fullest. Intrigued? well look below for more
info... The label, sub rosa threw open their archive to dj spooky [that
subliminal kid]... he went searching and listening to decades of
material and has come up with the concept call "rhythm science -
excerpts and allegories from the sub rosa archive". The result is an
album that the cd technicians have managed to carve into 33 tracks [we
only have time for the first 23], but it is really one long piece that
has many things going on at once. Spooky uses his own technology and
ear to give life to old works by combining them with new and middle
period material.

Mon.: The flora & fauna of Madagascar are astonishing, beautiful &
highly diverse. To a large extent, they’re also unique. The same
comments apply to Malagasy music. “Introducing Vakoka” (subtitled “The
Malagasy All-Stars”) sees thirteen of the island’s finest musicians, in
a singular circumstance, in a suitably-titled studio: Mars! From all
over the world’s fourth largest island, most had not worked together
before. “Vakoka” means “tradition”, but their brief was to collaborate,
creating new songs & tunes, with just these restrictions: the music
must be original, have “Malagasy soul” & not involve synthesizers or
drum machines. The resulting album is as irresistible as it is unique.
Variously delicate & earthy, it presents hugely diverse, peculiarly
Malagasy vocal & instrumental sounds - & instruments.
Tue.: Triptyk are the Swedish trio of saxophonist Jonas Knutsson,
fiddler Ola Bäckström and Johan Hedin (pictured), who plays the
nyckelharpa, a Swedish folk instrument which is played with a bow like
a fiddle, has keys like a hurdy-gurdy, and resonance strings like a
viola d'amore. Each band member plays in several other bands, in styles
ranging from jazz to rock to folk. Triptyk’s sound is of these three
instruments exploring their common resonances on this, their
self-titled album of their own compositions, played in a chamber folk
style.
Wed.: In a land of great pianists, Chucho Valdés is generally
regarded as Cuba’s greatest. He’s described his compatriot – today’s
featured artist, Ramón Valle – as “the greatest talent among our young
pianists”. You’ll understand why Chucho said that, once you hear “No
Escape”. The music on the new CD by the Ramón Valle Trio is uncommonly
powerful – emotionally, physically & technically. It’s also highly
individual (& highly interactive – he, bassist Omar Rodrígues Calvo &
drummer Liber Torriente have been together for seven years, & it
shows). Classically trained, & highly virtuosic, Valle embraces his
Afro-Cuban heritage, whilst consciously working on “a new route into
Cuban jazz”. As one critic has astutely put it, “Valle never loses
himself in his battle against his own romanticism.”
Thu.: When Mumbai based singer Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande was only 5
years old, a singing teacher came to her house three times a week,
teaching her grandmother, her mother, then Ashwini herself. Her mother
instilled in her a ruthless discipline, pushing her to win the
All-India Radio competition at the age of 16 in spite of a serious
illness. She continued studying music while getting a Master’s degree
in microbiology and a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of
Bombay. Through all her hard work, she has achieved a voice of
extraordinary suppleness and sweetness, as you'll hear on her version
of three ragas on her latest album.
Fri.: He attributes his current, relative success to being ‘the guy
who wouldn’t go away’. Despite a flying start in 1962, playing the
harmonica on ‘Hey Baby’ – a hit that led to him hanging out with the
Beatles and giving John Lennon a harmonica lesson - Delbert McClinton
became the king of bad luck when every label he recorded for in the
1970s went out of business and he was left with a $280,000 tax bill.
Things started turning around in the '90s as people recognised that
Delbert’s rough hewn voice, that fit everything from soul to country to
rock and roll, was a national treasure. At the age of 63, his range is
smaller, but his expression is deeper. Delbert McClinton ‘Live’ was
recorded in Bergen, Norway, on a really great night so, although it
wasn’t the original intention, it became Delbert’s new, double album.
