One of the biggest jazz-related surprises of 2007, and not simply because it is Indonesian jazz, Patahan is truly something to get excited about for the twist it puts on the Pat Metheny side of jazz things. Keyboardist Riza Arshad and guitarist Tohpati Ario Hutomo really have the Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays chemistry down to a science, with feeling and virtuosity to boot. And Adhitya Pratama's basslines are delightfully sinuous and groovy. However, what sets simakDialog apart is the presence of percussionist Endang Ramdan playing traditional Indonesian instruments and the group's seamless integration of traditional classical Indonesian forms to its brand of quiet fusion jazz. The result, as heard on Patahan, is enthralling, with enough familiarity to attract jazz aficionados and enough originality to set the band's music apart from true Metheny copycats. On this 2005 live recording, the core quartet is augmented to quintet size, thanks to guest percussionist Emy Tata, and sextet size on two tracks featuring singer Nyak Ina Raseuki "Ubiet." These two tracks have the strongest local flavor, but the consistent presence of hand drums -- and the total lack of a jazz drum set -- ensures that the music always has that "different" feel, even when there are no vocals involved. Whether you prefer Hutomo's soaring electric solos in "One Has to Be" and "Kain Sigli," Arshad's thundering piano chords in "Spur of the Moment" (not to downplay his awe-inspiring handling of the Fender Rhodes), or the ethnic percussion component, you are bound to be impressed by Patahan. Highly recommended. ~ François Couture

Purchase Patahan CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chad Wackerman View CD (1993)
Patahan album
$22.79 This time around, Carl Verheyen assaults the strings alongside Holdsworth, while Jimmy Johnson applies sharp basslines below Jim Cox's keyboards like wet cement. Walt Fowler's there too, punctuating the vibrant atmosphere with crisp slabs of trumpet and flugelhorn. And, of course, Wackerman anchors the entire ensemble. Indeed, he has practically patented a unique drumming style, incorporating a multitude of absurd time changes and ballistic embellishments. A damn nice VIEW from up here, if we do say so ourselves.
Chad Wackerman Biography A phenomenally skillful jazz and rock drummer, Chad's professional career began in 1978 with the Bill Watrous band. Since then he has amassed a remarkable body of work including a seven year association with Frank Zappa, with whom he toured the USA and Europe and recorded 26 albums including the London Symphony recordings. He has also recorded 6 albums and toured with guitar legend Allan Holdsworth, played on the 'One Voice' album and video with Barbra Streisand, ...
| | Katahdins Edge Step Away CD (2004)
Patahan CD music
$10.15 Katahdin's Edgebrings tension and dramato jazz landscapeWillie Myette, John Funkhouser, and Mike Connors have the kind of pedigree that would lend itself to astonishing and unexpected results. Their debut together as Katahdin's Edge is exactly what you'd expect from three adventurous performers, and nothing like you've heard before.Step Away, the band's inaugural CD brings profound drama and depth to what is normally a very predictable jazz format: the trio. Myette, the group's voice on piano, proved he had a flair for melody and arranging on ...this is jazz, his bow as a bandleader. Funkhouser, whose name couldn't be more appropriate for a bass player, also leads his own band and has toured throughout the U.S., Asia, and France. Drummer Mike Connors has studied with the likes of Joe Hunt and Alan Dawson, as well as with neo-lounge experimentalists Combustible Edison. Both Myette and Funkhouser have extended educations in jazz, with Myette attending the Berklee College of Music and Funkouser the New England Conservatory. ...
| | Katahdins Edge The Ridge CD (2006)
Patahan music CDs
$11.39 With their debut Step Away, Katahdin's Edge was celebrated as a roguish jazz piano trio goading a languid standard into confrontation. Roots intact, they produced funk- and rock-inspired grooves with cunning licks and intrepid meter sampling. The Ridge, their latest release available in May 2006, evokes the same adventurous spirit while challenging the equilibrium of tradition and innovation they established two years ago.The Ridge is where simple and evocative contends with infinite possibility, where composer and pianist Willie Myette unravels a new voice in the charged exchange between himself, bassist John Funkhouser, and drummer Mike Connors. A fourth voice emerges in disquieting sounds: a cool whistle like knives sharpening, a jarring squeal like rewinding tape on a reel on 'Glad You Called,' a strange chanting counterpart to the bass on the title track. The group marries audio effects like looping and distortion with the kinetic meter variations, aggressive ...

| | Norah Jones Come Away With Me (2002) Sacd
Patahan album
$17.45 COME AWAY WITH ME won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical).
"Don't Know Why" won the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Arif Mardin won the 2003 Grammy Award for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical).
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
A direct descendant from the pedigree of one of the 20th century's virtuosos, Norah Jones might not be on such a lofty artistic level as her dad Ravi Shankar, but certainly inherited some musical intuition from him. With nary a sitar nor raga within earshot, the young newcomer sounds very much an assimilated, western, 21st century pop-jazz singer. One thing that separates her from the pack is Ms. Jones' own piano stylings--not flashy, but deftly doubling or echoing her voice--that discreetly act as the glue holding together these airy, delicate, and beautiful arrangements.
But the centerpiece is certainly the 22-year-old's confident-beyond-her-years vocal delivery ...
