rian Eno’s dictum that the studio is the new instrument has come to bear on jazz-related music with the seduction of homestudio production. Like any instrument, home tech doesn’t guarantee the success of the end product. Making something worthwhile in this manner now requires avoiding some of the most obvious moves offered up by domestic studio gear. Guitarist Nguyên Lê’s foray into the domestic music production front, recorded in 2004 and 2005, has yielded an enjoyable and personal result. Awash in electronic beats and the requisite layering and effects, it manages to retain a strong sense of logic for each track, not turning the whole affair into a mush of pointless mixmastery or overindulgent cross-fades. Lê’s guitar remains the fulcrum of Homescape, and it is as clear and resonant as it is brilliant. His solo on the opening track ‘Starnieri,’ with its hyperbolic Vietnamese bends and wonderful palpability, displays his digital powers.

The disc’s guests, trumpeter and flugelhornist Paulo Fresu, who flew in from Italy to work at Lê’s home in Paris, and the guitarist’s neighbor, Tunisian oud player and singer Dhafer Youssef, willingly subjected their music to his post-production manipulation.

Jazz

Nguyên Lê Homescape

Fresu mines the frequently tapped Miles Davis shaft, but he also finds some nice modified trumpet sounds on ‘Mali Iwa’ that suggest Jon Hassel, especially when Lê pairs them with gulping percussion. On ‘Des Prés,’ Fresu’s rich long-tone underpins a nearly goofily French whistling guitar-synth part, while on Billy Strayhorn’s ‘Chelsea Bridge,’ they play it relatively straight, elegantly so. Youssef’s duets with Lê are quite direct, his voice cradled by the guitar on ‘Beyti,’ his oud egged on by Lê on ‘Zafaran.’ On ‘Kithâra,’ two lutes state the melody together, breaking apart for a guitar solo. Youssef plays with a groovy dance backdrop on ‘Byzance’ to good effect.

“Four bars of a Hendrix lick and you immediately want to stop whatever you’re doing. The Franco-Vietnamese Lê, with his unique combination of jazz and rock chops and Oriental-oriented world-music background, is a choice guitarist for a contemporary take on Hendrix.”

— International Herald Tribune “A masterful, inventive player who has cultivated a wholly unique voice on the instrument, he ranks up there with Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Mike Stern, and Allan Holdsworth in the post-Hendrix world of jazz guitar.” — JazzTimes

Cheikha Rabia Liberti

Les Maitres de Musique d’Armenie Arakatz

Selling points Cheika Rabia has been perpetuating a heartfelt musical genre endangered in its original land: the trab, whose poetical verve has been remembered orally. With a backdrop of reed flute and percussion, her moving voice sounds laments about thwarted love, escape from solitude, moral and sexual distress, and the tragic fate of women betrayed by their emotions. But there is also deep nostalgia, a glimmer of hope, and a fire that will never be smothered.

Selling points Some of Armenia’s finest musicians, with special guest Anna Mayilian!

Armenia is a land of music, whose specific color distinguishes it from that of its Persian, Turkish, and Georgian neighbors. All songs bear the mark of the Armenian soul, with melancholy rising to the surface at every moment, even in the midst of joy.

Selling points Thirty-two tracks. On the shores of Lake Sebu in the southern Philippines, the women of the Lemhadong collective give shape to a world whispered by the trees, birds, insects, and forest fairies. Lutes, gongs, flutes, jaw harps, frogs, streams, horses, and even crickets combine their voices in this musical portrait of a disappearing world.

Selling Points This CD was recorded during a concert given at Vezelay Basilica in July 2005, in which Sayeeduddin Dagar interpreted four ragas. The first three were performed in a classical configuration, with the singer facing the audience. Before the finale, Dagar turned towards the altar and choir to sing the final raga in the original, sacred configuration of dhrupad, with his back to the audience yet united with them in a moment of moving, intense musical communion.

Her new album, Bye Melanco, is a great success in France and features her usual talent for poetry as well as her sense of humor in describing daily life. Over the years she worked with Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Gilbert Becaud, and many more.

She is well known for a childrens’ series called Les Fabulettes, of over twenty CDs of songs and stories for children. On the adult side of her career, Sylvestre is known as a politically aware artist, with songs about rape (“Douce maison” 1978), abortion (“Non, tu n’as pas de nom” 1973) and living on the street (“Pas difficile” 1986).

Edith Piaf Souvenirs

Edith Piaf The Little Sparrow of France

A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing, writer-director Olivier Dahan’s La Vie En Rose stars 2005 Cesar Award winner Marion Cotillard (A Very Long Engagement, A Good Year) in a blazing performance as the legendary French icon Edith Piaf. Perhaps finding her nearest American analogues in figures such as Judy Garland or Billie Holiday, the tragic story of the world-famous chanteuse is worth of a 19th century novel by Zola or Balzac. From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Edith Piaf’s life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Her magical voice made her a star on both sides of the Atlantic.
