Urbs - Toujours le même film
2008-04-14 16:07:00
Track: So weitExtract from IODA:The music of ?Toujours le même film? is a haunting tale of love lost and found. A majestic soundtrack to a film that would be Paul Nawrata?s life. Its nostalgia and sentiment is beautiful portrayed as he lives through the ups and downs of love and life as in a gentle French film. In fact, it could be belonging to anybody that feels and welcomes music as a synchronized expression of their emotions, moods and psychological state.Personal opinion:Nice and smooth electronic/jazz waltz track, more info about Urbs are HERE.Urbs "So weit" (mp3) from "Toujours le même film" (G-Stone Recordings) Buy at eMusic Buy at Amazon More On This Album

Track: Sara '70Extract form IODA:From a time when Guinea was at the forefront of African music, these recordings showcase one of the newly independent nation's most inventive and influential groups.At first they were known as the ?Orchestre du Jardin de Guinée?, their regular venue and one of Conakry?s best for ?bar dancing?. But gradually this changed to ?Balla? - after their leader Balla Onivogui ?? ?et ses Balladins?.Then a spat with a government minister saw Balla sacked and replaced by his friend, Pivi. And so they became ?Pivi et les Balladins?. But when Sékou Touré, the President, heard about it his reaction was an indignant ?Since when??, and Balla was quickly reinstated ... not that he?d ever really left.Balla et ses Balladins "Sara '70" (mp3) from "The Syliphone Years " (Sterns) More On This Album

Rocket Number Nine Zoom Zoom Up - Rocket Number Nine Zoom Zoom Up LP
2008-04-09 15:22:00
Track: MaglevExtract from IODA:ocket Number Nine Zoom Zoom Up, while certainly not the first group to approach jazz in their unique way, hope to strip it of its weighty harmonic baggage and rhythmic clichés in the way that the Ramones did for rock. They seek to reinsert melody into the fore as Shostakovitch reluctantly did under a tyrannical Stalinist regime, and revisit the means of producing sounds and recordings a la Brian Eno. On their self-titled debut, Rocket Number Nine Zoom Zoom Up, the group spent a great deal of time developing material that main songwriter Monty Craig brought into rehearsals. With with the help of Chicago producer John McEntire (Tortoise, Stereolab, The Sea and Cake, Chicago Underground) fleshing out the production, the record stands as a progressive, funk-tinged, experimental-leaning journey set atop mountains of melody and billowing rhythms.Personal opinion:Enjoyable and interesting track with a jazz/alternative mood. You can check out the band's Myspa...

The Stephen Anderson Trio - Forget Not
2008-04-09 15:16:00
Track: Moments of the SublimeExtract from IODA:The history books document the formation of early jazz as an amalgamation of musical attributes from a variety of cultures; i.e., African rhythms, Western harmony, and classical forms etc. That is kind of how I feel about my music??that it blends what I?ve learned from my heroes in the tradition; Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Timmons, Keith Jarrett and so forth, together with techniques that I?ve learned from years of studying classical composition. On the one hand, I find that more and more I?m returning to the blues scale (a truly wonderful sound), yet intermingling the blues with more modern sonorities and atonal harmony. In this light, the words of Béla Bartók really resonate with me. Speaking of his harmonic aesthetic, he wrote, ?it?seems to me that a carefully considered?use of chords of the older tonal type within atonal music is not stylistically incongruous.? ?These chords??which have lon...

Michael Burks - Iron Man
2008-04-09 15:09:00
Track: Strange FeelingExtract from IODA:Searing, electric guitar-driven contemporary blues from one of the rising stars of the genre. Arkansas-born Michael Burks is a third generation bluesman who has absorbed the influences of Albert King, Albert Collins and Freddie King.They call him the Iron Man , and he?s earned the name. He?s earned it with his hours-long, intensely physical performances. He?s earned it with the steely attack of his guitar playing, pouring out brilliant, molten solos that build from one verse to the next, until you think he?ll wring the neck off of his Flying V. He?s earned it with the passion and depth of his singing. And he?s earned it offstage too, spending endless hours behind the wheel of his battered van (when he isn?t underneath it making repairs), driving from one end of the U.S. to the other, hauling his band and his trailer full of gear from one club or festival to the next.This is Michael Burks? third album for Alligator, and it?s been a thrill to wat...

Never Enough Hope - The Gift Economy
2008-04-08 15:28:00
Track: Des MoinesExtract from IODA:Chicago improviser/composer Tobin Summerfield's 20-piece jazz ensemble, utilizes both rock and free-music idioms into the orchestration, which takes shape in the form of a 20-piece ensemble featuring scores of saxophones, vibraphones, and violins, mingling with guitar, bass, trumpets, and dual drum kits.Summerfield's most notorious work has come with Chicago's Crush Kill Destroy, and Detroit-based Larval (Cuneiform Records). As an active member on the Chicago free music scene as well, Summerfield regularly plays alongside folks such as Frank Rosaly, Aram Shelton, Jaimie Branch, Keefe Jackson, Fred Lonberg-Holm, and many others. His aesthetic employs the entire spectrum of the diverse groups he contributes to, moving from the collective voice of rock, post-rock and punk; New York No Wave minimalist/maximalist extremes; joyful big band theatricality; highly orchestrated new music soundscapes; and powerful, dense, freewheeling improvised music to l...
