d. cherry & co, etc.

here's a nice, out recording by one of my favorite musicians, recorded 1982 for ECM and including
Colin Walcott on sitar, dulcimer, tablas;
D.C. on the trumpet and something called a doussn'gouni:
"an instrument from Mali that I believe I've seen referred to as a 'hunter's guitar'".
Nana Vasconcelos on berimbau, percussion
oh and all three partake in chanting and humming and trilling and whining. I bought it on reissued cd about 5 years ago because I was getting into D.C. and I liked the cover.

I listened to a Quincy Jones interview on public radio the other night while I was temping as a night watchman. Some memorable points were that he said Herbie Hancock is the best musician he's ever met, that students should learn by intensive mimicry, Tupac wrote whimsical poetry about nature and classical literature, only 5% of Americans use their passport, of the 11% percent that have them, the global economic crisis proves that we are one world, and Q would be honored to be your Secretary of the Arts. I'm all for it.

And here is a re-up, a better file of BPM, a killing fast and precise and scandinavian jazz trio outing with Zappa-tones provided by T. Bozzio's wild compositions.
