Calcutta Chronicles: Indian Slide Guitar Odyssey

Jayme Stone & Mansa Sissoko

Africa to Appalachia

“Searching for the banjo’s living ancestors, Canadian virtuoso Jayme Stone went on a musical Mecca to expose himself to the life and lore of Africa” (rock-paper-scissors). This album is the result of his experiences and collaboration with Malian griot singer, Mansa Sissoko. It’s an album, “immersed in sound and rhythm.” They are scheduled to perform at Lotus 2008.

Nine Heavens

Niyaz is: elegant vocalist Azam Ali who co-founded Vas in 1996, Loga Ramin Torkian, a multi-instrumentalist “whose group Axiom of Choice brought the ancient sounds of Persian classical music to Western listeners in the 1990’s,” (6 ) and producer Carmen Rizzo. CD 1 integrates electronic programming and trance rhythms while CD 2 is the acoustic version of those same songs, which are beautiful resonations of Persian and Turkish instrumentation.

…to the music of Mali

Before heading off and taking my heathen bum to rural, pastoral New York for a few weeks, I've been given the go-ahead to take over the airwaves tonight from 1-3:00 AM or so right here on Community Radio WFHB. It'll be a temporary farewell radio blow-out which really means that it's just another excuse for me to provide the musical soundtrack to whatever it is that you're doing tonight so, if you dare, tune in and I promise to make it as interesting as I legally can. But it won't be anything that I do, really. It's all about the music.
