THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and

[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: His father was a painter: so, in a sense, is our
ancestrally-Spanish, featured Frenchman. The original music made by
Renaud Garcia-Fons is a very colourful, mostly “pan-Mediterranean”
hybrid”. “Unbelievable” really is the only word for his bowing; in the
“con arco” department he has few (any?) peers. His plucking is very
nimble too, but jaws really drop when Garcia-Fons' custom-made bass
almost literally “sings” as his bow dances across its five strings.
There's a liberal helping of guests & many instruments on his new CD,
“Entremundo”. At its centre is Garcia-Fons' working trio with flamenco
guitarist Antonio Ruiz “Kiko” & percussionist Jorge “Negrito” Trasante.
Tue.: Each of our featured albums offers a different, equally
rewarding approach to the piano. John Stetch was born in “the shadow of
Vegreville, Alberta’s giant Ukrainian Easter Egg”. Alone, playful &
very alert, he nimbly & imaginatively tackles a hero’s songbook on
“Exponentionally Monk”. Steve Kuhn’s new album, on the other hand,
finds a Brooklyn-born veteran exploring his own songbook, with a string
orchestra. He describes “Promises Kept” as “a life’s dream”. Kuhn’s is
a more measured, deeply lyrical album, but not soggy.
Conductor-arranger Carlos Franzetti shares Kuhn’s keen understanding of
the piano itself.
Wed.: Carey Bell was born in Macon, Mississippi on November 14, 1936.
A fan of Louis Jordan, Bell originally wanted a saxophone, but economic
realities forced his grandfather to buy him a harmonica instead. He
moved to Chicago in 1956, where he learned directly from the masters -
Little and Big Walter - and developed his own style, which can be heard
as never before on his new record "Second Nature" which he shares with
his son, guitarist/vocalist Lurrie Bell. While Carey and Lurrie were
touring in Finland in the winter of 1991, they warmed audiences with an
impromptu set of acoustic blues. Their promoter found them a studio to
record the extraordinary father/son rapport, now commercially available
for the first time.
Thu.: The remarkable voice of Stephen Cummings is perhaps the most
uncanny male one in Australian popular music. He’s a fine writer of
songs (& novels) with a nice tension between the intensely romantic &
the sardonic. Cummings never really intended to pursue a life career in
popular music, but his has proved one of the more enduring. The songs
on “Close Ups” are old, but the performances brand-new & very intimate.
He recorded it over three days with longtime collaborator Shane O’Mara.
Stephen thanks him for having “played fantastic guitar & made the
recording a thousand times better than it might have been.”
Fri.: Pio Leiva was born in 1917 and started singing professionally
in 1932. He's been a popular performer for 8 (!) decades, appealling to
people for his ability to improvise, his deep, gruff country voice and
his colourful, likeable personality. Before being 'discovered' by Buena
Vista Social Club, he was touring West Africa where he has a
considerable fan base. He was 84 when he recorded our feature album,
"Esta Es Mi Rumba" with guest appearances by pianist Guillermo
Rubalcaba, trombonist Generoso Jimenez, the Septeto Nacional de Ignacio
Pineiro and other fine Cuban musicians in a set that ranges from
country style songs to intricate big band arrangements.

Earth's ocean depths and begin to take over the
planet. More than half a century later we still know more about the
