| | Grupo Afrocuba Raices Africanas (African Roots) CD Grupo Afrocuba Discography of CDs
This reviewer was privileged to see Grupo AfroCuba live during their 1998 North American tour, and is pleased to report that Raices Africanas, their first full-length release, captures beautifully the magical blend of sacred and profane at the heart of traditional Cuban music. The liner notes give a concise, readable background to the music and to the pivotal role of Grupo AfroCuba in both maintaining tradition and in expanding it to a new era. Now if only this were a multimedia disc so that one could see the dancers.... ~ Janet Rosen

$19.99
An oddball collection of short films from the master of oddity, David Lynch, this release provides a compelling look at some of Lynch's rarely seen shorter works, including "The Grandmother," a story about a boy who grows a grandmother as an alternative to his abusive parents; "The Amputee," a film about an amputee attempting to write a letter; and "The Alphabet," an eerie animation from Lynch's student days. Covering films from the 1960s to the 1990s, this release goes inside the peculiar sensibility and aesthetics ...

| | Drew Gress Irrational Numbers CD (2008)
Raices Africanas (African Roots) CD music
 $14.29 
Drew Gress was wise to reassemble the group that assisted him in realizing 2005's 7 Black Butterflies. In alto saxophonist Tim Berne, trumpeter Ralph Alessi, pianist Craig Taborn, and drummer Tom Rainey, the virtuoso double bassist and composer had a ready-made ensemble whose members, thanks to extensive touring since the last album, already understood one another intuitively. Outside of this configuration they each also boasted a towering list of additional credentials -- experience that, once the players met up again, easily enabled them to push Gress' compositions beyond his blueprints into unexpected and surprising places. Gress can be among the most aggressive of jazz-informed bassists around (perhaps he should call an album "Ag-gress-ion"), but he can also be a sweetie, tempering that eagerness to get fired up by cherishing melodicism and form. On tracks like "Chevelle" and the 12-and-a-half-minute "Neopolitan" (whether Neapolitan is deliberately misspelled is unknown, but there is an undeniable neo-ness to the track), the musicians sometimes teeter on the edge of atonality. At times they cross that edge into a place bordering on craziness and chaos (electronics supplied by Gress and deft production touches by David Torn help send it in that direction). But then at others they're a uni-minded, conversational beast, locked ...

Raices Africanas (African Roots) CD music
$7.45
Recorded between 1969 and 1973. Includes liner notes by Tony Green.
This is part of MCA's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series.
Rare Earth's edition of the 20th Century Masters series is a near-definitive collection of their singles for Motown. Over the course of seven tracks, all the group's biggest hits -- "Get Ready," "(I Know) I'm Losing You," "Born to Wander," "I Just Want to Celebrate," "Hey Big Brother," and "What'd I Say" -- are included, all in their original album versions. This means "(I Know) I'm Losing You" runs over ten minutes, "Ma" over 17, and "Get Ready" a shattering 21-plus minutes. This is means that it's for the serious casual fan, since these extended versions certainly demand patience. Still, this gives a good idea of what Rare Earth was about, and that makes it a first-rate compilation. ...
