Live Recording
Full performer name: Lama Gyurme/Jean-Phillipe Rykiel.
Personnel: Lama Gyurme (vocals, Tibetan percussion); Jean-Phillipe Rykiel (arranger, piano, keyboards); Florin Niculescu (violin); Yakuba Sissokoh (kora).

The Vajrayana, or Diamond Teachings, of Tibetan Buddhism encourage the celebration of life and the ardent pursuit of enlightenment. Cutting straight to the heart of these aims are Vajra chants. These deeply moving songs of healing and protection are presented here with keyboard embellishments and occasional percussion.
Tibetan Buddhist musical master Lama Gyurme and French composer Jean-Philippe Rykiel offer eight different chants (and an extra "unplugged" version of one) on this follow-up to their beloved 1996 collaboration THE LAMA'S CHANT. This time around, Rykiel's keyboards and other musical accompaniment take a more prominent role. Dramatic synthesizer chords support Gyurme's bass tones, while the gentle strums of a kora (African harp) weave in and out of almost every line. Percussion livens up the healing "Medicine Buddha Mantra" and acoustic piano shows up in "Offering Chant." While Rykiel's music is often quite moving, Gyurme's vibrant incantations feel like a rain of blessings in and of themselves.

Rain Of Blessing: Vajar Chants

Some of the best music is brought about by collaboration. For their seventh and most accomplished album, "A Little Voodoo," Grey Eye Glances took that idea to its logical conclusion, from the writing of songs, to working with an all-star cast of producers and engineers which included Jerry Marotta, Kevin Killen, Peter Moshay, T-Bone Wolk, Paul Bryan, and Todd Vos. During the writing phase, a series of rehearsals were held at each band member's home, the stipulation being whoever hosted the session had to bring something to the table - be it a lyrical snippet or a finished piece of work. The resulting burst of creativity produced 50 songs with a variety of musical perspectives. The group whittled the list of songs down to 19, and sent them to a wish list of producers. An overwhelming response prompted the thought: Why not work with all of them?So the album's working concept was born: Record the album over a six month period, spending two weeks at a time with the various production teams at their favorite studios. "The idea was to keep the energy level up," Eric says. "When you start, everything is exciting; everybody likes each other. But after a while, if it's not working, you end up going through the motions. We were lucky to get these amazing people. They worked us into their schedule, 10 days to two weeks at a time, and the idea was to finish two songs with each production team. There was no room for any sort of nonsense to develop." Grey Eye Glances' desire on "A Little Voodoo" was to enhance the melodic themes of their previous releases, by adding a more rhythmic approach - to reproduce the distinct and distinguished pop sound the band achieves in concert. "We knew what we did well," Dwayne says, "so we took that and amplified it. Our goal was to make an album that showcased our strengths." With that in mind, the group cut four songs with Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann) and Kevin Killen (U2, Elvis Costello, Tori Amos) at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, NY. Then it was off to Woodstock, NY for two tracks with Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel, Indigo Girls, Paul McCartney) and Todd Vos (Paula Cole, Natalie Merchant, Phish). The next stop was Pawling, NY to work with Peter Moshay (Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Sean Lennon/Yoko Ono) and T-Bone Wolk (Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, Hall & Oates). The band members finished up the album by producing and recording two tracks themselves at FarmHouse Studios in West Point, PA. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of "A Little Voodoo" is that, despite the use of various production teams, the album holds together as a single, cohesive piece of work. "We knew this was going to be an experiment," Jennifer says, "but the finished product is one complete set of songs that really do work well together. It's the first of our albums that I can listen to and not want to change anything."The history of Grey Eye Glances - the name is cribbed from an Edgar Allen Poe poem - begins with Jennifer, Dwayne and Eric recording a pair of Indie albums, "Songs of Leaving" (1993) and "Further On..." (1994), for their self-owned label, Sojourn ...
