Drummer and percussionist Bill Ransom leads a strong post-bop-style session on 2005's GENERATIONS.

The combination of impressive musicianship, a well-selected set, and a keen balance between technical precision and spirited improvisation make this a quiet gem.

Lache Cercel and his Roma Swing Ensemble represent the latest chapter in an important movement in Canadian World Music - elite musicians from around the world who settle in Canada and create music that incorporates their own traditions with influences they find surrounding them here. Before leaving his homeland, Lache Cercel was one of Romania's premier musicians. From a musical family, he trained at the Academy of Arts in Bucharest, became a soloist with the Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra and, in 1986, was awarded the "Artist of the People" Citation by the Romanian government. Since settling in Canada in 1998, he has furthered his musical studies at Vancouver Community College and collaborated with musicians from a diverse range of backgrounds. Among them are renowned Egyptian percussionist Adel Awad, noted Vancouver jazz vocalist Laura Crema and Latin music virtuoso Sal Ferreras. Cercel's music is firmly rooted in Roma tradition, styled with Doina Klezmer, Middle Eastern and European sounds, and held together with jazz improvisation. He calls his fusion Roma Jazz or Roma Swing. In the tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stephen Grappelli, Cercel lays classical and improvisational jazz alongside traditional renderings, which makes for a phenomenal sound. Cercel is a bandleader who lets every musician shine. He plays with the outrageous virtuosity found in contemporary European Roma recordings, and adds his own vision, relaxing the form somewhat. The musicians play with freedom and the listener feels the strong roots and hears the history of tragedy, struggle and ultimate survival that is part of Roma music. Cercel spent his early years in Canada doing solo performances around BC and teaching Romanian style violin. For several summers, he made annual teaching trips to the Buffalo Gap International Music Camp in Washington, DC and Mendocino Balkan Camp in Mendocino, ...

the Runs started, legend has it, as some embarrassing echoes emanating from a basement in San Francisco. As time went on and their skills were honed, the Runs brought their pistol-whipped, drenched bass and dry guitar sound to the light of day. This is their debut album - recorded, engineered and mixed themselves. Punk DIY tackles politics, love songs and the inevitable return to biological function.the first unofficial album review: "It's like listening ...
