Karl Latham, Ryan Carniaux & Mark Egan Constellations Over the years, Björk’s music has been reworked by the likes of Jason Moran, Greg Osby, Dave Douglas, Gretchen Parlato, The Bad Plus, and many more. Karl Latham has been a Björk fan for many years, and when her album Volta was released it triggered in him an urgent desire not just to cover the songs, but to create new compositions as a kind of “commentary.” After much planning, Latham gathered his team and went into Barbershop Studios in Spring 2013 with sound engineer Jeremy Gillespie, where they created a truly fascinating portrait of a singer, and her music.

Scott Fields String Feartet Mostly Stick One year after the release of Kintsugi and shortly after the double CD Haydn, Between the Lines is proud to offer a third CD by the Scott Fields String Feartet. Contrary to its predecessor, there is no explicit reference to classical composers. Fields’ guitar also takes up more space, even though it is a special feature of the “Feartet” that the ensemble playing is in the foreground. On this program, the “master juggler” of improvised jazz and new music presents six “comprovisations,” of which the majority easily surpass the 10-minute limit.

JANUARY 2015 • Unreleased, original remastered concert recording!

• Collectible 180-gram vinyl includes two bonus tracks not found on the CD! • In January 1954, twelve American musicians traveled to Europe under the tour title “Jazz Club USA,” named after Leonard Feather’s radio show. Feather also sent his own mini-festival on tour: a trio with singing pianist Beryl Brooker, another trio led by Red Norvo, the quartet of Buddy DeFranco, and singer Billie Holiday.

• Having had an encounter with her abusive husband the evening prior, Billie appeared onstage in Cologne wearing dark sunglasses, and the repertoire included a song written by her entitled “I Love My Man” (a.k.a. “Billie’s Blues”). The singer may have been battered by her disastrous life, but she was nevertheless able to move her audience.

• Impresario Norman Granz had moved to Switzerland in 1959. He coordinated his “Jazz at the Philharmonic” tours from there, which at that time were very successful in Europe. In the following year, he even sent off two all-star casts under the slogan “Norman Granz’s Jazz at the Philharmonic Presents Jazz Winners of 1960.”

• The first cast was made up of Ella Fitzgerald, Roy Eldridge, the Jimmy Giuffre Trio, and the Shelly Manne Quintet, while the second cast brought together the Miles Davis Quintet, the Oscar Peterson Trio, and the Stan Getz Quartet.

• At Dusseldorf’s Rheinhalle theater, Stan Getz was on stage with his own quartet. The playbill announced the saxophonist’s Scandinavian band; however, prior to the tour he had dismissed several of its members and so the cast instead included Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen, two fellow Americans.

• Approximately nine months after the concert in Dusseldorf, the expatriate made his comeback in the U.S. and shortly afterwards became world renowned not only among jazz enthusiasts but also with a much wider audience, thanks to the growing popularity of bossa nova music.

SELF HELP 19

JANUARY 2015 • The Afrorockerz is the project of guitarist Julien Raulet, knighted by Tony Allen and founding member of French afrobeat band Fanga.

• After meeting with bassist and multi-instrumentalist Sylvain Daniel (ONJ, Bot’ox, Yom & The Wonder Rabbis), who navigates between rock and jazz, it was evident he’d be an integral player. Both share the passion of playing Fela Kuti’s music, and are inspired by Prince, Talking Heads, and Frank Zappa.

• It wasn’t long before they were joined by Allonymous (Jimi Tenor, Push Up) on lead vocals, a Chicago-born Parisian painter, poet, and singer whose writing reflects his atypical views on life and is echoed through his hypnotic flow and stage presence.

• Equally sharing lead vocals is Emma Lamadji (Defunkt, Gospelize It), whose powerful mezzo burns with the urgency and serenity of the Central African origins she’s rooted in. Together they are perfect!

• Top it all off with dynamic rock drumming and funk keyboards … were this album a movie, it would relate the meeting of Tony Allen and The Cure!

• Promotion by Rock Paper Scissors.

• In Taiwan, the art of erhu has taken in the local cultural richness and creativity, personifying a Far Eastern music tradition of age-old roots.

• Erhu virtuoso T.S. Lo navigates between genres and traditions, both folk and erudite. He is just as at ease performing the classic “horse race” of the erhu repertoire as he is with melodies inspired by gypsy music, appropriating all possible musical repertoires, including his recent meetings with jazz and bossa nova.

Air Mail Music Navajo Songs During their social gatherings known as pow-wows, American Indians celebrate their attachment to their origins. The beating of the drums is in harmony with the Earth’s heartbeat. Thus, the Indians commune with nature, and with their ancestors. These songs, which have come down over the ages, are vectors of ancestral traditions and teachings; they are often about respect for nature, the spirits, and the Creator.
