7/4 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 But you like a lot of Senegalese music, MG - and the traditional lutes from that country are fretless, so.... they're microtonal by default. (The point being that we've likely all encountered microtonal music of may kinds, but probably aren't aware of the label in connection with the music(s) per se.) Beach Boys, barbershop qt., American folk/country music, Nirvana, the blues are some examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 But you like a lot of Senegalese music, MG - and the traditional lutes from that country are fretless, so.... they're microtonal by default. (The point being that we've likely all encountered microtonal music of may kinds, but probably aren't aware of the label in connection with the music(s) per se.) Well, to me there's a BIG difference between someone who plays an instrument that may be played in a microtonal way (and sometimes is, as a result of slight misfingering or whatever, or as part of a musical language that includes it as a normal element, such as bottleneck guitar) and someone who actually does play that way, deliberately, in order to get somewhere else. I haven't got anything against the latter group of people, I'm just not there. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 now playing: Pran, Raga for the Rainy Season Stuart Dempster and Greg Powers I'm giving this another spin - Dempster plays the drone on a big brass didgerido and Powers plays trombone in the slowly unfolding dhrupad raga tradition.

mandrill Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Few of the recent finds Badi Assad- Verde Cristina Branco- Ulisses Both are a bit of crossover items, but whatever the compromise here it rather adds than takes IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been giving this a few spins yesterday and today. Sharma on Santoor (hammered dulcimer) and Chaursia on Bansuri flute create such a beautiful relaxed atmosphere.

king ubu Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I saw Chaurasia live again a couple of weeks ago - great experience, as always! He still has plenty of power and well - fire is the wrong word, but imagination and sometimes a youthful exuberance totally denying his age. It took him quite a while to get warm though, but then he played for about two hours or more, and in the break someone sold home-made samosas... good Sunday morning entertainment! Will have to dig up the few discs of his I have and play them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever play on that album title. Is Brijbushan Kabra still with us? He would complete that group. If not, they could introduce another guitar player to round it out. There are many out there, anymore. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Debasish Bhattarchaya, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
