alocispepraluger102 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) she may be capable of very good playing - it's that Newport broadcast of "world" music - just shallow stuff, with not a clue of how to make that kind of music interesting. I found it offensive. very rarely do i find any 'world' music interesting. what i usually hear is just a whole lot of homogenized nothing. 'world' music is really just a 'clever' way to avoid using the obscene term 'jazz', a modern day marketing and financial disaster.

Hot Ptah Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 she may be capable of very good playing - it's that Newport broadcast of "world" music - just shallow stuff, with not a clue of how to make that kind of music interesting. I found it offensive. I have never heard the Newport broadcast of world music. When I heard her live, she played straight ahead jazz.

AllenLowe Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 not necessarily - though I agree with you that it's usually flattened out into nothingness. But it can be done - check out a recording I did about 20 years ago called "New Tango." The idea is to make it into something dense and multi-layered, as actual world music really is (also helps to have Julius Hemphill). there's some samples at www.allenlowe.com Regina hasn't a clue.
