RIFFIN’S RUNDOWN FOR WEEK 5/10/08, 8.35PM, AT NEWSTALK 93FM, MONDAY TO FRIDAY.
STREAMING LIVE AT WWW.NEWSTALK.COM.JM
MONDAY: Saxophonist, Azar Lawrence, who is masterly on either the soprano or the tenor, “Speaks The Word”, a new album of consummate artistry. Fourplay, although considered “smooth jazz”, are deeper by far.
TUESDAY: British bassist, composer, and group leader, Dave Holland, leads his own Sextet , through a delightful set of his originals, brought to life by first rate musicians.
WEDNESDAY: “ Canto Tom Jobim”, Brazilian diva, Gal Costa, in the second of a two part tribute to Brazil’s greatest composer, Antonio Carlos Jobim.
THURSDAY: Traigo do Todo”, critically acclaimed the best album, by the late sonero from Puerto Rico, Ismael Rivera, who changed Afro-Caribbean music in the 1950’s.
FRIDAY: The tribulation and triumph of Manze Dayila, a Haitian singer, who risked her life to get to the United States, aboard a ramshackle boat on perilous seas with circling sharks. Her debut album “Sole”, is riveting.
