| | Nana Vasconcelos Fragments: Modern Tradition Soundtrack CD
Fragments: Modern Tradition is a collection of compositions written by Nana Vasconcelos for six films. The music is appropriately atmospheric, and takes on a myriad of ethnic influences from around the world. Indeed, the first track "Vento Chamando Vento" sounds amazingly similar to fellow multi-ethnicists Dead Can Dance. Vasconcelos utilizes a variety of percussion instruments -- cowbells, shakers and drums -- to achieve the sounds of open landscapes. The album is not all space and wind, however. A fine backing band helps Vasconcelos create a number of musical textures, including the incredibly peppy "Forró Para Antero" and the poly-rhythmic "Let's Go to the Jungle." While this album does not shine with the brilliance of other work like Saudades and Bush Dance, it is a worthwhile addition to Vasconcelos' catalog. ~ Stacia Proefrock
Personnel: Naná Vasconcelos (percussion); Pamela Driggs (vocals); Romero Lubambo (guitar); Egberto Gismonti (strings); Jim Cruz (flute); Cidinho (accordion); Rogerio (bass instrument); Cyro Baptista (pandeiro).

Liner Notes:The Out To Lunch Quintet (OTLQ) was formed to perform the music of the late, great Eric Dolphy. Although originally organized for a single concert event in early 2006, the significance of keeping this music alive, coupled with popular demand to hear Dolphy’s tunes, has kept OTLQ going. This is their first recording as a quintet.In his tragically short life, Eric Dolphy became a master musician who excelled as a performer, arranger, and composer. Mingus considered Dolphy his most talented interpreter; Coltrane described him as the only horn player he could conceivably play with as an equal. In 1964, Dolphy recorded Out To Lunch, an album deeply rooted in the avant-garde. The time signatures were unusual, and Dolphy’s solos were as dissonant and unpredictable as anything ever recorded. Out To Lunch influenced a generation of jazz players and became a cornerstone in the modern jazz movement. It remains fresh and daring and is regarded not only as Dolphy’s finest recording, ...
