    Sultans of String play LA's McCabe?s Guitar Shop and makes KCRW's Rhythm Planet - 'October Concert Picks'
     
    Posted At : October 18, 2019 2:26 PM

    The instrumental group Sultans of String hails from Toronto, Ontario. They play barn hoe-down style as well as flamenco, Arabic folk, and French gypsy-jazz. While you're at McCabe's, be sure to check out all the guitars on their hallowed walls but observe the "refrain from clutching to bosom" signs on them. Click HERE for tickets and more information. The band performs a timely song in this video (featuring Ifrah Mansour on vocals) that shows their musical reach and empathy: Sultans of String celebrate diversity and creativity with warmth and virtuosity. They have done that with artists such as Paddy Moloney and The Chieftains, Richard Bona, Benoit Bourque (Bottine Souriante), Nikki Yanofsky, Alex Cuba, Ruben Blades, Crystal Shawanda and Ken Whiteley. With their historic and visionary seventh album Refuge (coming in 2020), Chris McKhool and co. bring their unique brand of musical synergy and collaboration into the studio like never before. Their most ambitious, diverse, inclusive and passionately political album, Refuge puts the Toronto-based Sultans face-to-face with a VIP roster of artists from around the globe - including American banjo master Bela Fleck, Israeli vocalist Yasmin Levy and others, like Iraqi violinst Imah Al Taha and Iranian santur master Amir Amiri, who have fled the peril and persecution of their homelands for the safer shores of North America.  SEE ALL KCRW: Los Angeles Rhythm Planet's 'October Concert Picks'

  • Black Oak Ensemble - 'Silenced Voices' is an ambitious and impressive debut / Classical Music Sentinel
     
    Posted At : October 18, 2019 1:43 PM

    This is the debut recording of the Black Oak Ensemble, a violin, viola and cello trio based in Chicago. And an ambitious and impressive debut effort it is, not only for its commited musicianship and top-notch audio quality, but also for its foray into unknown or obscure territory. Most if not all of the composers included on this recording have faded into the history books or been consigned to oblivion altogether. One survived the war but the others died in concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Europe. As the title of the CD suggests, they were deliberately "silenced". The Black Oak Ensemble not only present us with music that was, but also offer us a look into music that could have been.

  • John Coltrane's 'Blue World' makes new music & reviews from the Winnipeg Free Press
     
    Posted At : October 17, 2019 12:00 AM

    This new release of a 1964 session by saxophone legend John Coltrane and his most famous quartet has been not so much lost as hiding in plain sight. Not only that, but Canada was the prime mover in its creation. In 1964, Canadian filmmaker Gilles Groulx was filming a movie in Montreal called Le Chat Dans Le Sac. He was a huge Coltrane fan, and somehow was able to convince the musician to agree to a recording session to be used as a soundtrack for the film. Historians totally overlooked this unusual event until a few years ago, but anyone who saw the film heard Coltrane, playing tracks such as Naima, for example, over the opening scene. The session was recorded at the famous Van Gelder studio in New York, and Groulx himself was present. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d; min-height: 14.0px} SEE ALL REVIEWS ON Winnipeg Free Press PAGE

    Posted At : October 17, 2019 12:00 AM

    On December 4th, the Danish String Quartet will accept Musical America's prestigious award for Ensemble of the Year. The announcement was made earlier this week, and comes just a month after the release of volume 2 of the DSQ's acclaimed Prism series of recordings for ECM New Series, each pairing one of the late Beethoven Quartets with a Bach Fugue and a quartet by a later master. "One awaits the rest of the Danish String Quartet's series breathlessly, but it's possible that this volume, with a Beethoven performance for the ages, will tower over the  rest".  James Manheim, All Music In November the DSQ embark on a North American tour which will include a complete traversal of the 5 "Prism" programs in La Jolla – see dates below. The Danes also continue to perform Nordic folk song as on their 2017 album Last Leaf which was named to the Best Recordings of the Year lists at both the NY Times and NPR. "It is wonderful to hear these superb players let their collective hair down in this collection of (mostly) Scandinavian folk tunes and original material composed in like fashion. This should warm the heart of every fan of fiddling, whether bluegrass, Celtic or Bachian". James Oestreich – New York Times 25 Best Classical recordings of 2017 "when it comes to the simple idea of a classical string quartet performing folk tunes, the Danish musicians have exceeded all expectations". Tom Huizenga – NPRs 50 Best Albums of 2017    PHOTO: Caroline Bittencourt

  • Ofra Harnoy - Back to Bach is the KUSC: Download of the Week
     
    Posted At : October 15, 2019 12:00 AM

    After taking a career hiatus to raise her children and then deal with a near career-ending shoulder injury, Canadian cellist Ofra Harnoy started performing again in 2018. This album presents a number of tried and true Baroque favourites on the cello, such as Bach's "Air" from Orchestral Suite No. 3, "Bist Du Bei Mir," as well as some slightly lesser known gems from composers such as Allegri and Corelli, which Ofra Harnoy interprets with the profound musicality and passion she is known for. In Ofra's early Baroque recordings, many works were accompanied with organ, chamber orchestra, or harpsichord. For this album, however, rather than revisiting the conventional settings for these works, she has decided to use brass as accompaniment for some works, and, for the works by Telemann and Allegri, has created a cello ensemble through overdubbing and multi-tracking techniques. As much as it is a treat to hear her play this music as soloist, that joy is multiplied in hearing her play each of the nine voices of Allegri's Miserere. This album presents a number of tried and true Baroque favorites on the cello as well as an inspiring comeback.

  • The POINT LESS podcast with Ola Onabule: The Old Story
     
    Posted At : October 15, 2019 12:00 AM

    This song is written from the point of view of a man who has just extinguished life of another. He has the authority to do so as a licensed officer of the law, nonetheless the extent of his powers do not sit easy with him. He asks philosophical questions of the society that gives him the power of life and death over his fellow human beings and he ponders the historical context that allows him to wield said authority. He comes to the conclusion that he is fulfilling a pre-ordained role determined by history rather than one defined by his own personal choices. The POINT LESS podcast with Ola Onabule presents: ‘The Old Story The POINT LESS podcast is a series that boldly expresses views on social injustice. It is an activist's call - at once a celebration of life and a cautionary take on the social forces that threaten it. Violence, immigration, xenophobia, betrayal, and dignity are themes considered and rendered with a powerful and knowing generosity of spirit.So embodies the artistic - and entrepreneurial - philosophy of Onabulé, whose latest album release, Point Less, is a giant leap forward and deeply soulful Rueful yet optimistic, Onabulé's reach is global. His three-and-a-half octave baritone and the powerful emotions he conveys with it connects with audiences around the world. "Hands-on, self-sufficiency has always been my mantra for survival in the music game," says the songwriter. Produced & Narrated by Max Horowitz - Crossover Media
