ReplyDeleteI picked up a copy of "the juke box suite" - dedicatd to Alan Lomax - a coupla years ago at a gig - fun stuff
from raskin's notes:
. . .composed with an idealized Juke Box in mind, where any kind of music might show up from any culture or time and be combined for the next "Play" . . . following styles and aestehtics as they rubbed up against each other in the mingling of cultures that was made possible by intrepid searchers of music. The "sides" aren't a direct borrowing but a weaving of the common threads that occur in all musics.
dear all
