A very interesting band. Thx for the recommendation!

I think you may like Charles Lloyd's 'Sangam' if you don't know it.

Yesterday I watched Hadouk Trio - En Concert Au Satellit Café (2005) DVD. A very intriguing world music - jazz fusion trio. IMO the percussionist is simply brilliant!

I think I'll play Francesco Fournier Facio – Sound of Light and Shadow – 2013 SACD tonight.

 

 

[sphinxsix]

This guys is awesome :

 

 

 

He looks like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in his youth!

He sings... well, slightly worse.

[sphinxsix]

But nothing beats these albums :

[sphinxsix]

I have to confess I'm slightly addicted.. I have 3 CD versions and 4 hi-res ones. One to rule them all - the 2007 Japanese SACD (remix from the original 3 channel tapes). Sounds as if recorded yesterday..

Mali blues..

Another great Touré collaboration, "In Heart of the Moon" with Toumani Diabaté.

That's right.

Another fantastic album from Tzadik label.

 

John Zorn - The Gnostic Preludes.

Thanks for this. I was unaware of Zorn but am fond of much of Frisell's work.

Sharing and learning - what this thread does for me on a regular basis.

You are welcome. In fact I felt a little awkward writing that post 'cause I could also recommend a 100 of his other albums ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Zorn_discography ) and another hundred CDs of other performers of Tzadik label. Worth checking out IMO!

@ christopher3393

Thanks for your Iranian and Persian music recommendations. The performers sound very interesting, I'll check them out.

This is an amazing album! Thanks once more! Can you recommend some other musicians from this part of the world.?

[sphinxsix]

Yes, I was really struck by it as well! I don't know if there is much out there quite like it. But if you follow Kayhan Kalhor's discography, you'll find an interesting variety of musicians and music, including other Persian classical "ustads"(Kalhor has 3 albums with a group called Masters of Persian Music, which are quite traditional). Other albums have more improv. and a more contemporary feel.

 

You might also try the Dastan Ensemble, or check out BacHolz' recommendation of Azam Ali and Niyaz. I'm afraid that's about all I know.

I know Azam Ali. But this is not exactly my kind of music. And I'm checking other Kayhan Kalhor's albums. I'm quite into world music but this stuff is new to me. And it sounds amazing! I'll check Dastan Ensemble too. Thanks!

@ AnotherSpin

Thanks!

[sphinxsix]

You welcome! You may also want to check Shahram Nazeri, his Rumi album is heart-melting.

Oh yeah, this sounds fantastic! Thx again!

 

Ps. Unfortunately it seems that finding his CDs may be difficult ..

[sphinxsix]

For me this is one of his best late studio albums! Some songs' lyrics are a little hermethic (references to his buddhist training experiences, which I don't mind) but if you can digest it, you surely will appreciate this (musically supervised by Sharon Robinson) beautiful album! Available in 24bit (HDTracks)

 

 

[sphinxsix]

Thanks for the tip as I don't have this.

He has a new release later this month.

Thanks for the information. Didn't know this one is coming. You surely know his 'Live in London' - a fantastic performance by both LC and the band! The DVD is also worth checking out.

Both in 24/96

Not a bad choice! I'm pretty sure you will enjoy your evening!

[sphinxsix]

One of my favorite DVD concerts. Nice to see something so positive come out of his financial misfortune. The performance, the lighting and sound are well done and truth be told I have a crush on his backup vocalists, the Webb Sisters!

They say two are better than one..

He has always been surrounded by beautiful women. On and off stage.

Sharon Robinson is more my type. Beautiful voice too.

Maria Schneider, and her orchestra

 

Sounds very interesting, haven't heard of her before.

[sphinxsix]

Still a strong voice. At 82. And (exactly) 1 month.. I'm very curious about this album.

 

[sphinxsix]

I would say - halfway between dream pop and modern creative.. Just discovered her.

 

[sphinxsix]

The old one (but not that old)

 

 

 

And the new one

John Zorn - Filmworks vol.XIV - Hiding and Seeking.

Yet another fantastic album from this truly creative musician.
