Nubian Roots Playlist July 1997
Comments on the Music
Comments on the Music
I enjoyed listening to Matthew Shipp's "flow of X" recording. It's on
the edge and always seemed to put me in a deep mood when I played it.
Lot's of energy from the musicians.
The Priester/Rivers project provide good overlays on top of other music.
I played it on top of DJ Shadow. The beats with River's snakelike
soprano fit well.
Fred Ho's music as always if full of energy and has a message about the
unjust cruelty to the minorities that live in this country.
Ernest Dawkin's New Horizon Ensemble is something that I will be
playing a lot. His music is the kind of real Black music that makes you
want to dance. It is on the edge there are great compositions and solos
throughout. I picked this one up myself and it was worth it. Can't wait
for Vol. 2.
