Esta semana, en una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, destacamos el álbum 2022 que unió al prolífico músico experimental, compositor e instrumentista australiano Oren Ambarchi, con los músicos suecos, el bajista Johan Berthling y el baterista Andreas Werliin. Titulado “Ghosted” y editado el 15 de abril por el sello Drag City, se trata de la segunda colaboración entre Ambarchi y Berthling, tras el álbum a dúo de 2015, “Tongue Tied”. Ambos músicos además han trabajado juntos muchas veces dentro y fuera del escenario desde 2003, incluidos varios encuentros en el ensamble Fire! Orchestra con el mismo Werliin y el saxofonista Mats Gustafsson. Los preparativos para “Ghosted” comenzaron en noviembre de 2018, cuando Ambarchi, Berthling y Werliin se reunieron en el Estudio Rymden en Estocolmo, Suecia. Tras el proceso de grabación, el disco fue mezclado y masterizado por Joe Talia en Good Mixture de Berlín. De acuerdo al Bandcamp de Ambarchi, los tres músicos “comparten una fascinación por el ritmo y la multitud de formas en el que puede subdividirse dentro del beat. Usando aspectos del jazz, músicas del mundo y experimentales, cada melodía se asienta en un hondo surco, excavando a través de ajustes mínimos continuos en un cada vez más profundo groove eterno”. En la parte final del programa, viajamos al pasado en el profuso catálogo de Ambarchi, para escucharlo con material de su disco solista “Audience Of One” de 2012, en el que participan músicos de la talla de Paul Duncan, Eyvind Kang y Crys Cole.
Eyvind Kang recorded “Theme from 1st NADE” as part of his Jack Straw Artist Support Program residency in 1994 – the first year of the program.

Ramadan #HistoricMuslimah #16: "Rabiah al Basra" | Today, Khateebah & Mu'adthinah Jessika Kenney enlightens us about the true nature of Rabiah al Basra, the famous Muslimah that is most known for re-introducing the concept of Love back into early Sufi Islamic teachings. Jessika shows us how the gendered way that Rabiah is usually mistranslated is very harsh; however, when one goes back to the original text, we see a much warmer depiction of Rabiah, one that is rooted in love and ecstatic joy. Jessika treats us with a beautiful recitation of the original Persian poetry of Farid Din Attar as he describes Rabiah in 'The Conference of the Birds.'

Traditions are traditions... For this year's Hanksgiving episode we celebrate the work of a truly original artist, Hank Roberts. The Indiana-born, upstate New York-based, cellist, jazzaphone fiddler and vocalist, is one of those rare musicians whose name on the front or the back of an album should make any one purchase that record without questions asked, run home and play it immediately. This week we try to squeeze into a couple of hours a discography that spans over three decades and illustrates the artistic trajectory of a key figure in the famed New York downtown scene that continues to be at the forefront of creative music. In this first part, we focus in particular on some of his projects as a leader and on his ongoing collaboration with Bill Frisell. In the second part we focus on a number of other projects he is the leader of, including yet unreleased material of his current sextet. This segment also spotlights his work as a member of 858 Strings, the string section he shares with Jenny Scheinmann and Eyvind Kang featured on a number of projects by Bill Frisell, as well as his Italian adventures with Pipe Dream and trombonist Filippo Vignato. To complete this overview of Robert's discography during this segment we also feature a number of projects he has recorded with Tim Berne as well as with other luminaries of the New York scene like Marty Ehrlich or Ralph Alessi as well as collaborations with singers. Hank in there! It must be a very nice Hanksgiving then! Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/9867097/Mondo-Jazz Photo credit: Christopher DelCollo.
In this unique speech, Khateebah & Mu'adthinah Jessika Kenney delves into the many different understandings of the buraq, or shining steed, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) rode on his Night Journey. She explores the more mystical and folklorish renditions of the buraq as a winged animal with a woman's head, to the more metaphysical and scientific theories of the buraq as electricity or light. At the end of her speech, Jessika treats us with an interactive singing performance in which she invites the audience to participate in chanting beautiful poetry in the background as she sings the main verses. // On the evening of May 10, 2019, The Women's Mosque of America held its fifth annual co-ed iftar & qiyam during the holy month of Ramadan, featuring all women speakers and a chance for the greater public to benefit from the spiritual insights of its Muslim women leaders.

In the underground music scene of New York City, bassist, engineer, educator Kato Hideki is a most crucial participant. Before moving to New York City in 1992 Kato was an original member of Otomo Yoshihide's Ground Zero. Since arriving in New York, he has worked closely with John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Eyvind Kang, Fred Frith, Marc Ribot and Zeena Parkins among many others. He was born and raised in Nagoya, Japan and has played on many of my favorite records to come out of New York in the last twenty five years. A great talk with a great guy.
El pianista Fred Hersch debutó en el mítico Village Vanguard de Nueva York como líder de su propio trío en julio de 1997. Una grabación permite escuchar por primera vez las mejores tomas de aquel estreno junto a sus socios de entonces Drew Gress (contrabajo) y Tom Rainey (batería). Abrimos esta edición de 'Club de Jazz' del 7 de diciembre de 2018 con la Italian Instabile Orchestra, una institución de la improvisación europea, que publicaba en 1995 un disco en ECM bajo el título de "Skies of Europe". Ornette Coleman la definía en el libreto como "un concepto colectivo de democracia sonora". Un año después, el guitarrista Bill Frisell presentaba su cuarteto junto a Ron Miles (trompeta), Eyvind Kang (violín y viola) y Curtis Fowlkes (trombón). Con ellos daba vida a varios temas compuestos para cine, televisión y una película muda de Buster Keaton. El prolífico saxofonista estadounidense Noah Preminger presenta "Genuinity", trabajo compartido con Jason Palmer (trompeta), Kim Cass (contrabajo) y Dan Weiss (batería). Quairós es el nombre para el cuarteto formado por el británico Tom Arthurs (trompeta), los fineses Markus Pesonen (guitarra) y Janne Tuomi (batería y percusión) más el canadiense Miles Perkin (contrabajo). "Vela" es producto de una sesión improvisada en Berlín. Funcionan de forma cooperativa. Way North es un cuarteto que reunió en Nueva York a tres canadienses y un estadounidense: Rebecca Hennessy (trompeta), Petr Cancura (saxo tenor), Michael Herring (contrabajo) y Richie Barshay (batería). Su segundo disco lleva por título "Fearless and Kind". Toda la información y derecho: http://www.elclubdejazz.com
