Religion and Beliefs - 2008
CD of the Week - Jackson Browne
31/03/2008
On Jackson Browne’s new CD, Solo Acoustic Vol. 2, Jackson’s acoustic guitar and piano accompaniments beautifully frame and illuminate his fine songs.
With four songs from his most recent studio CD and others dating back to the early 1970s, you get a chance to appreciate the depth and breadth of Jackson’s songs in unadorned fashion, with their unique take on politics, matters of the heart and the questions raised by everyday life.
CD of the Week - Shannon-Goodrich Ensemble
24/03/2008
On Worlds Within Worlds, pianist Clare Shannon and vibraphonist Elissa Goodrich and their ensemble apply their jazz composing and improvising backgrounds to music inspired by the ancient Sufi saint, Rumi.
Ali Alizadeh supplied free verse translations of Rumi which Ria Soemardjo sings. Phil Bywater guests on sax, Phil McLeod on accordion, with Anita Hustas and Tamara Murphy sharing the double bass playing, and Alejandro Vega on percussion for this very interesting project.
