Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale - Breathing Under Water - Manhattan Records, 2007
Featuring an incredible (new-to-me) find from Eraldo Bernocchi & Somma. All LIVE, and entirely improvised, including visuals.

"The concept behind Somma is the real interaction among different cultures with the aim to contaminate and explore ancient traditions connecting new electronic music and technology with jazz, dub, and mantric concepts. ... Unlike several so called 'world music' issues and experiments, Somma aims to have real interaction between different worlds, both sonically and visually. "

We will play the whole darned thing on today's program. A TOTAL STUNNER!! Get out your very best headphones right now!

Line-up:
o Eraldo Bernocchi - treated guitars and electronics (co-founder)
o Petulia Mattioli - stage design and visuals (co-founder)
o Bill Laswell - bass

A focus on Finnish accordion and sonics daredevil Kimmo Pohjonen, and the many amazing collaborations. Sonic mayhem abounds. Kimmo did 2 shows at Ottawa JazzFest 2018 this past week, both totally mind blowing! If you missed them, well… here's some Kimmo Therapy? ;^)
