1305 -
THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and more in a show artfully arranged for radio. [abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: Terms like 'eclectic' and 'multi-skilled' barely begin to do justice to Canada’s Daniel Lapp. Equally at home on fiddle and trumpet, this gifted composer/arranger and improvisor has a deep grasp of very different genres – from celtic folk though to post-electric Miles (Davis). On Reunion Daniel Lapp and Friends lean to folk, but it has many fine originals and surprising touches. Daniel's friends are some of the UK's finest roots musicians, most of whom he'd last seen more than a decade earlier, when Daniel spent a deal of time in the UK. They include guitarist Tony McManus, concertina ace Simon Thoumire, harpist Mary McMaster and accordionist Karen Tweed. Kathryn Tickell plays fiddle and Northumbrian smallpipes. Daniel also enjoys some remarkable exchanges with pianist David Milligan.
Tue.: Dom Minasi is one of the greatest jazz guitarists. He may not be one of the greatest 'careerists', but the world – including a former US president - has begun to catch up with the 61-year-old. Since 1993 Dom has been a happy man with his own label and has 'only done what I want to do'. His continual quest: 'trying to bring the guitar and my music to the next level, without effects, electronics, etc.' On his new CD Quick Response Dom's fingers and mind are astonishing agile. It's adventurous music, but always keenly focused, and lyrical. His (very) interactive colleagues are saxophonist Mark Whitecage, drummer John Bollinger and organist Kyle Koehler.
Wed.: Nadya Golski was born in Tasmania to an Australian mother and a Polish-Russian father. She grew up in Melbourne, Canberra and Papua New Guinea and went to Poland when she was 19 to work in a theatre company that travelled by horse and cart from village to village. This time in Europe inspired her to sing Balkan music, which is well represented on her new album ‘Crazy Moon’ – recorded with the 101 Candles Orkestra, an all-star group of Sydney musicians including Jonathan Zwartz, Chad Wackerman and Rick Falkiner. The album also delves into French and Spanish language originals when it’s not taking you on a wild Balkan ride.
Thu.: The artist known as Bonga (which means 'he who searches' or 'he who goes ahead') has one of Africa’s more beautiful voices. For many years he’s been Angola’s most popular songster at home and abroad. You can dance to his new CD Kaxexe, enjoy its affinities with Portugese fado and Brazilian samba, or simply revel in the husky warmth of Bonga’s voice. But it’s worth paying attention to his words: the former exile from Portuguese colonialists has long been outspoken against 'independent' Angola’s corrupt, warring factions. At the core of his songs is a passionate conviction that 'we must live without harming others'.
Fri.: ‘Lagrimas Negras’ is a unique album – a collaboration between octogenarian Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes and flamenco singer Diego el Cigala. The repertoire is of boleros, the slow standards that Cuban and other Spanish language singers love to croon, but Diego el Cigala brings such a flamenco ferocity to these pieces that he transforms them. Spaniard Javier Colina plays bass on the entire album and alto saxophonist Paquito D’Rivero and violinist Federico Britos make guest appearances.

2330 -
Mon.: THE EUROPEANS - broader historical and cultural perspectives on European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "Lisbon - Tagus River Dreaming". This is a port city with a long pedigree, dating back beyond the Romans, to the Phoenecians, Greeks and Carthaginians. You can still see the effects of 400 years of Moorish rule, even though the Alfama, the old town, had to be rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755. The elegant tower, from which the explorers of the Age of Discovery in the fifteenth century were farewelled, still stands on the river at Belem. Sadly, the Industrial Revolution passed Lisbon by, as the city endured decades of military insurrection, political chaos and dictatorship. And since the end of the Salazar regime in the mid-seventies, urban development has largely happened without the benefit of planning. [%]
Tue.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country Australia.
Wed.: THE ARTS ON RA - Julie Copeland interviews artists, composers and craftspeople and Julie Rigg looks at the movies. <http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/sunmorn/> for details concerning possible segments carried in this program, as the program is an
abridged version of the "Sunday Morning" program that is broadcast on ABC Radio National. [%]
Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained with Richard Aedy. This week: "Biotech Carnival". Horseracing is a worldwide, multi-billion dollar industry. When the animals become injured the costs can skyrocket. However, now a horse's own stem cells can be used to repair tendon and cartilage injuries, drastically speeding recovery. [%]
