Hope you're ready for some jazz-Pakistani music fusion. I think I enjoyed it just as much as Wynton Marsalis did.

Sachal Jazz Ensemble's jam (based on traditional Pakistani raga) with NYU Jazz students.

Incredible!  Thanks for sharing!  

Just spent the last half hour listening to the other Wynton Marsalis / Sachal Jazz Ensemble performances.

 

The flow of the flute and sitar has given thought to the idea that Brubeck's Take 5 was possibly inspired during a visit to the East.  A book called "Bombay Jazz" (that was later made into a musical) also made a hint at this.

I've also managed to check out Sachal JA's album. Unfortunately it's disappointing.

Mongolian Rock from the HU. It's kind of tribal, nationalistic, hypermasculine, metallic, good time music.

Nice Sunday listening... My inner Chinggis Khaan is pretty happy.

Congrats! It's common knowledge that it's very difficult to satisfy one's inner Chingis Khan

Not a rocket science though, The Hu and generous volume level would do.

I was listening to the sessions from Marciac 2013 and the subsequent Lincoln Center concert.

Marciac was very raw as they were probably just playing off the cuff.  Not all musicians were in sync.

The Lincoln Center performances were a little more polished but you can see some musicians a little off. 

 

Two extremely different genres of music.

Any links on where one might purchase the album?

I don't think their collaboration has been issued as an album. But (beside Youtube) you can check W.Marsalis site for some videos:

Thank you.

I'm not sure I mentioned my favorite musician from the Buena Vista circle here..

The album also sounds great!

It seems you don't have your inner Chingis Khan, man..

Everyone has its own Chinggis Khaan inside, not everyone aware of it already.

my inner Chingis Khan ate Japan & Hungary and I haven't heard a  peep since then

How about some Ukrainian music? The vocalist recommended to me by a friend.

Arifa is a Dutch jazz-world fusion band, their first 3 CDs were consecutively awarded the title "best world music release" in the Netherlands.

 

 

 

My god, I'd love a listening room like that although it might call for 2 extra subwoofers..

Monica Akihary is a Dutch singer of Moluccan origin (and you probably thought that all geographical areas have already been mentioned on this thread ). Her voice reminds me of Cassandra Wilson, have a listen for yourselves.
