In 1956, Duke Ellington's show A Drum Is a Woman was broadcast on television. Although utilizing the Ellington orchestra, the emphasis was on a somewhat abstract and bizarre story line involving characters named Madame Zajj and Carribee Joe. Zajj, who is born as Joe's drum, travels the world and becomes famous but still dreams of Carribee Joe, who preferred to remain in the jungle. Forty years after the Ellington telecast, French bandleader Claude Bolling revived the story for a show and this recording. Jeffery Smith is the narrator (at times sounding a bit like Duke Ellington), and he shares the vocals with Laika and Francine Romain while joined by the Claude Bolling Orchestra. The revival performance is well done, but the original story is so odd that the results are just a historical curiosity. ~ Scott Yanow

One of the Caribbean’s top entertainers, AJAMU comes from the island of Grenada, internationally famous for its large variety of spices, and known as the “Isle of Spice.” Indeed, AJAMU’s music reflects the variety of spices and musical art forms prevalent in Grenada and the Caribbean. He is adept in Calypso, Soca, Parang and Reggae. Few Caribbean enter- tainers can match him for his ability to write music, compose sharp and deep lyrics, or arrange music. AJAMU is truly a multi-talented entertainer.AJAMU began singing calypso in 1983 after a one-year stint in Trinidad and Tobago where he experienced first hand the great calypso stars in action. Once he arrived on the calypso scene, fans welcomed this breath of fresh air and dubbed him “KING AJAMU”, a title that he answers to, but his humble nature has not embraced. Acknowledging his talent, AJAMU has since been hailed by both Calypso Rose, the Calypso Queen of the world, and the Mighty Sparrow, the calypso King of the World, as a gifted, talented and top-class Calypsonian. The Mighty Sparrow said of his Grenadian compatriot that he reminded him of himself when he started his career. AJAMU holds the unprecedented title as the seven-time Grenada Calypso Monarch, winning in the 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1995, and 2004, and he continues to make outstanding musical contributions generating CD after CD and hit after hit. Standing at just 5ft 7inches, this musical giant plays guitar, keyboards, drums, and is a certified sound engineer. AJAMU has written, arranged, and produced songs for a number of top Grenadian Calypsonians, and has transformed many a calypso with his finishing touches. He concluded a great year in 1997 by winning the coveted “Male Vocalist of the Year” title at the impressive “Sunshine Awards” held in New York beating out other calypso stars like David Rudder of TNT and Edwin Yearwood of Barbados. His musical efforts have been recognized by the international music community as he has been featured regularly in the “Bible of the Music Industry” – Billboard Magazine. For his services to the Calypso art form, AJAMU became a member of an elite group of ...

Dennis Hawk was born and raised in a small town in northeast Kansas, in a community known as Atchison. Nestled in the Missouri River bluffs along the fast flowing river known as “Big Muddy”, Atchison is an old city not much different now. There are still streets of cobblestone, a little downtown diner, and a family-owned drug store.Dennis’ heritage is mixed, with his mother being of Cherokee/Mesquaki and Irish descent and his father German.After completing high school in Atchison, Dennis completed college at Concordia Senior College in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. He then graduated from Concordia Seminary inSt. Louis, Missouri. This led him on a journey through 18 years of inner-city ministry in New York, St. Louis and Milwaukee.Dennis eventually began a path down the road to recovery from alcohol dependence. This time in his life also brought about difficult decisions including leaving a marriage of 20 years and being able to see his two children on a part-time basis.Dennis then married Cyndi (Miller) Hawk who is a tribal member of the Stockbridge/Munsee Band of Mohicans.Dennis and Cyndi owned and operated an addictions and trauma counseling agency in Wisconsin for 18 years. Dennis worked as a counselor for almost 20 years, while continuing to pursue his true passion of music, Native American history, spirituality, and stories.Dennis received his Native American name, Animikii Gekek (Thunder Hawk) from an Ojibwe Elder. The name suits him well. Dennis remembers as a child his mother bringing him into the house because of the approaching storm. He loved to stand and feel the gusts of wind, watch the lightning and listen to the thunder.One of Dennis’ interests is playing the Native American courting flute. He also makes the flutes that he uses in performances and recordings. Dennis was taught the craft of making ...
