Remembering Toumani Diabaté: MALIcool
by Ian Patterson
The passing of Malian kora griot Toumani Diabaté in July is a great loss to music. Born in Bamako in 1965, in post-independence Mali, Diabaté grew up playing traditional music. but as a leader he was a modernist from the get-go, collaborating with flamenco fusionists Ketama and English bassist Danny Thompson on the excellent Songhai (Nuevos ...
Awen Ensemble: Cadair Idris
by Chris May
Here in Britain, jazz and folk music intersections have a long history. Putting aside the US-centric fusions of the trad bands of the 1950s, as exemplified by the Chris Barber Band's blend of New Orleans jazz and Depression-era folksongs, the movement really kicked off in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Husband and wife team John ...

But with both to his credit, (each on a different ...
Sun Ra: Ten Great AfroFuturist Albums
by Chris May
With one hundred and twenty five albums to his name, not including reissues, any attempt to compile a Sun Ra Top Ten is a pretty ludicrous endeavour. There is simply too much great music from which to choose and way too much to put to one side. So the honour roll which follows should be regarded ...
Sun Ra: Lanquidity (2 x CD Edition)
by Chris May
When it comes to Sun Ra, the elephant in the room--or perhaps the intergalactic space frigate orbiting your sound system--is how many musicians in the band were bombed out on acid during a typical recording session? By all accounts, Ra ran a tight spaceship and drugs, mind expanding or numbing, were strictly off limits. Then again, ...
