Day 12: A song from an African artist
Obo Addy was a Ghanaian drummer and dancer who was one of the first to bring the concept of "worldbeat" to Euorpe, then to the United States. He moved to Portland, and I took courses from him at Lewis and Clark. His primary instrument was the "talking drum," an hourglass-shaped drum that you hold under your arm, which allows you to change the tones for each of the two heads. A skilled user can make it sound like human speech, and Obo was brilliant. (I could usually change tone when I was supposed to, heh). He passed away in 2012, but his legacy lives on though his students who still uphold the music and traditions in our city.
He and his various groups did a lot of collaboration with Western artists, but I wanted something more purely Ghanian (and I don't want to get yelled at!). This is with his band Kukrudu, It is very percussive, so it is absolutely in my wheelhouse, and fit in well in the jazz culture of the PNW.
"Odze," Obo Addy and Kukrudu.

I am back with more breakcore. Hkmori makes some emotional songs. Some of you may not like this one. It's a genre that doesn't resonate with some people, but I love it.
am I overreacting- hkmori

Okay, okay, I know that as recently as yesterday I said I don't listen to jazz.... but, BUT, and hear me out here. I'm a hypocrite. There. Now that we got that out of the way...
Hiromi is a bonafide pianist virtuoso. She's one of The Greats of our time, living and breathing pure music... An unbelievably cool human being!
I hope You can take a moment and listen to this, because it's transformative.
Uehara Hiromi - Pachelbel's Canon in D, but it keeps getting jazzier
Improvisation, with notes provided by another virtuoso, George Collier, after the fact!
