Back with Riffin'

Man, I long to be in NYC - although withthe music I had at Temple Hall on Sunday, I'm not missing much

But still.....


RIFFIN’S RUNDOWN FOR WEEK 15/9/08, AT NEWSTALK 93 FM, AT 8.35, MONDAY TO FRIDAY.



LIVE STREAM AT WWW.NEWSTALK.COM.JM



MONDAY: Two brilliant exponents of a capella singing, TAKE 6, whose genius lies in its vocal arrangements, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo of South Africa, who rely on the interplay between its lead vocalist and the rest of the choir.


TUESDAY: The Wee Trio, from Brooklyn, New York, might indeed be tiny-vibes, bass and drums, but their size never deters them from swinging ferociously. The big tenor sax of Frank Catalano.


WEDNESDAY: An aspiring jazz singer, Judy Wexler, takes us through the exercise with a big voice, crisp musical backing, and a smart choice of songs. The Horace Silver Quintet, at the Newport Festival of 1958, with stellar trumpeter, Louis Smith.



THURSDAY: Kenny Garrett, “Live At The Iridium” demonstrates once again, how he combines mastery of his horn with deep spirituality. Pharoh Sanders, his guest, is rock solid.


FRIDAY: Bahia’s Raimundo Sodre, a master of “samba chula”, the roots music of central Bahia. Midnite Liontribe’s reggae lyric, is a stream of consciousness without parallel in reggae.
