Raga for the Rainy Season Pran (Powers and Dempster)Greg Powers- trombonesStuart Dempster- brass digeridu Two Americans fusing European and Australian Aboriginal instruments in the tradition of Asian Indian Dhrupad music. Sonorous, droning, raga-sounding pieces that unfold gracefully, as if they had all the time in the world. If Hindustani music practitioners settle a planet, their descendants might sound like this in concert. For patient listeners only, its a cd that makes "out there" no longer a tired cliché. Stunning: yielding and yet unyielding. - Richard Grooms Sparkling Beatnik Records (SBR 0008) |
