Anouar Brahem! Alberto N. A. Turra! Randi Pontoppidan
Starting in a drifty proggy kinda way... then rolling into a more acoustic side, thru jazz... and finishing in a double-feature - 2 new releases from Chant Records!
| Starting with a bad case of the proggies, including 2 releases from Ottawa, 34 years apart... and both containing the same bassist: Ian McLeish! |

| Skyclimber MKM - Orchid Island - 2012 
|
| Armageddon RPM - & Friends - 1978
|
| One more Canadian prog track (from a band more known for folk-rock... but their first LP has some more adventurous stuff...), then into a bit of psychedelia before we find ourselves in the acoustic mire! |
| Baie St.-Marie CANO (Coopérative des Artistes du Nouvel-Ontario) - Tous Dans Le Meme Bateau - 1976

| I had hoped to make a full feature of the Anouar Brahem, but time is tight! More on Future Nightwatches, promise! Off into jazz-land, starting with a preponderance of ECM releases...! |

| Now, onto two new releases on Chant: “The Taan Trio live at Easy Nuts Lab” finds the Italian guitarist, composer and bandleader in a live set along with bassist William Nicastro and drummer Stefano Grasso. Both Turra and Nicastro also appear on the Chant Records album “Zeuhl Jazz” by the band Sonata Islands Kommandoh. The Taan Trio formed in late 2017 and quickly began touring in Italy and the US, evoking the sound of such influential bands as Pat Metheny with Jaco Pastorius and Bob Moses or Bill Frisell with Kermit Driscoll and Joey Baron, adding a healthy dose of live electronics and jazz-core to create a uniquely 21st century take on the classic guitar trio format. |

| Randi Pontoppidan is a Danish vocalist, composer and improviser using only her voice, filtered through various electronic effects and machines. Pontoppidan has worked with jazz luminaries including Greg Cohen, Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Sissel Vera Pettersen and with Danish poet Morten Søndergaard. She’s also an in-demand vocalist in the contemporary classical world, working with Paul Hillier’s Theatre of Voices and performing works by Steve Reich, David Lang, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage and others. On ‘Rooms,’ a follow-up to her previous Chant Records album ‘Space Geode’ with Greg Cohen, Pontoppidan explores the outer limits and deepest secrets of the human voice while drawing on inspirations including free jazz, electroacoustic composition and sound poetry. |
