I haven't stopped by here all that often, of late, and taht's because very little of the music I've heard of late has any connection with what's being discussed here.
However, please allow me to ask: what's the matter about Mateen? I got the duo he made with Hamid Drake lying around somewhere, but I can't remember if I have heard it or not. Here's the cover:
Read about it on the eremite homepage.
I also heard a recent Raphé Malik concert including Mateen (I suppose a few of you have heard it, too...) and I liked that one alright.
*************
Next one: I'm very excited to know that Zeena Parkins & Ikue Mori will perform in duo here in Zurich! don't have the full programme at hand, and the website is still listing last year's programme (a month before this year's festival, lazy guys!), but I can post it here, later, in case D.D. wants to know what's going on this year!
The Parkins/Mori duo is the only thing that I can recall at the moment, the only one I got really excited about!
