rostasi Posted Tuesday at 09:53 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:53 PM (edited) Quote The out-of-this-world recordings of Dilson de Souza, leading a kind of tropical chamber jazz on leaves from a ficus tree. Dilson was from Barra do Pirai, in the Brazilian countryside; moving to Rio as a young man, where he worked in construction. He recorded his first record in 1954, for RCA Victor. He travelled to Quito around 1957, soon hooking up with Benitez & Valencia, who introduced him to the CAIFE label. Dilson played the leaf open, resting on his tongue, hands free, with his mouth as the resonator. Though a leaf can also be played rolled or folded in half, this method allowed for more precision, a tethered brilliance. A picked ficus leaf stays fresh, crisp and clean-toned for around ten hours. He could play eight compositions, four at each end, before it was spent. Biluka plays trills and vibratos effortlessly, with utterly pure pitch, acrobatically sliding into notes and changing tone on the fly. In Manuco, he leads Los Caníbales into a mysterious landscape on a rope pulled from an Andean spaghetti western, and corrals and teases them into a dialogue. A leaf, a harp, a xylophone, and a rondador — joined in Bailando Me Despido (Dancing As I Say Goodbye) by a saucy organ, doing sloshed call-and-response. In Anacu de Mi Guambra, Biluka shows his full range of antics, hiccuping melodically over a set of magic tricks. His expressiveness was boundless. The eucalyptus leaf is popular among Aboriginal Australians. In China, they’ve played leaves for 10,000 years. In Cambodia, people play the slek, a leaf plucked from either the sakrom or the khnoung tree. But ain’t nobody like Biluka, ever. Astounding music.

jazzbo Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Re-listening to the second half of this one again this cool morning. Fiona the dachshund and I were battling wills this morning. She wanted up way too early, and I managed to get her to go back to sleep twice. . . but lost this third time. I could use more sleep–going to have to make up for that later. This Nash cd is quite nice–it’s fun to have the two trumpeters alternating here (not playing together) Ted Nash “Still Evolved” Palmetto cd Bass – Ben Allison Drums – Matt Wilson Piano – Frank Kimbrough Producer – Matt Balitsaris Tenor Saxophone – Ted Nash Trumpet – Marcus Printup or Wynton Marsalis 1200×1200 131 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Miles Davis “1958 Miles” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 One of my versions of this session that is much talked about at the moment as an LP and SACD are forthcoming from Analogue Productions. My beef with this new reissue is they are casting it as a “warmup to Kind of Blue.” Um, no it’s not. I’ll get the SACD eventually when I can find it without paying 10 dollars shipping, further on down the road. It’s fantastic music and this cd sounds really good–as does the mono version in the Mono Albums box set. 500×500 45.6 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago I wonder why the "star", which indicates that I have posted in this thread, has gone back to a "dot"? I wonder if this post will turn it back to a star? It's happened on several threads that I regularly post in. Yup - the star is back.
