Roswell Rudd Malicool - Live in Rome '04


"At first blush, adding Roswell Rudd to a group of native West African
musicians might seem, well, stretched. Surprisingly, though, it proves
a remarkably impressive combination -- in large part due to the simple
melodies, the opportunity for the trombonist to stretch out, and the
quality of the band."

Sounds great, thanks!

Yes, I wasn't sure how this would work out. I do love African-jazz fusions but Rudd and the kora wasn't the top of my list. But it is a really enjoyable meeting.

I think this turned out very nicely. Thanks for the posting, Riccardo, supplementing the earlier postings of the South African connection. More to come on that front, defintely. But I love most everything coming out of West Africa, too.

I'm at a public computer now, but I'll be back to download this and the George Lewis in Rome post. I have heard both here in Albuquerque at the Outpost Performance Space. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Thanks again.
