Paul Carlon – La Rumba is a Lovesome Thing: A Tribute to Billy Strayhorn

CD Review by Raul da Gama

What on earth would Billy Strayhorn think of La Rumba is a Lovesome Thing? It is, after all, a somewhat irreverent tribute—the music is relocated from its original big band setting into the Latin realm—to the maestro who singlehandedly transformed the sound and spirit of The Duke Ellington Orchestra for a quarter of a century, from 1942 until his death in 1967. Perhaps he might have been secretly happy to listen to a spectacular record; one that is brilliantly performed by a small band of brass, reeds and woodwinds, superbly orchestrated by its leader Paul Carlon, features beautiful brooding vocals by sensuous, husky-voiced chanteuse, Christelle Durandy, star turns by Latin percussion colourists Pedrito Pablo Martínez, Wilson “Chembo” Corniel and Obanilú Iré, a drummer and bassist from Mr. Carlon’s other fantastic Latin-Jazz band, Grupo Los Santos in the flesh and dancing spirit of William “Beaver” Bausch and the little powerhouse, Dave Ambrosio...

M ti ta bai contab um estoria di um senhorita qui tava chuma Dona Lea
Sai di casa bai pa Merca dicha se Papa, Mama, dicha ses fidj, se terra, temp qui ca tinha sapato
Ca tinha riqueza
Dona Lea go e um sinhora qui ta manda, ta dismanda, ta pensa qui tud mundo vivi na se gostu
El ta faze se gana, Dona Lea e rainha di se quintal
Esh penhoral ses bardolega go nha Lea volta cu mom na frenti quell out pa tras
Go el prendi qui quond bo bai bo ca pode esqueci cutelo ma bo cuzcuz
Finura Caba, Jogo Caba, Aposta sai furado, tiro sai’l pa culatra
El sai di Merca, bai se casa, el prendi vivi mas humilde, sem soberba 
Rainha na Se Quintal

(ENG) Donna Lee

I’m gonna tell a story of a lady whose name is Donna Lee
Left Home, went to the States, left her dad, her Mom, left her kids, her land, the time when there’s no shoes in her feet, no richness’s
Donna lee now is a lady that imposes and disposes, thinking that the world spins around her
She does whatever she wants, Donna Lee is the Queen of her own backyard
Her affairs where pawned, now Miss Lee comes back with even less than she took
Now she learns that when you leave you can’t forget your home and your cuscus
Wealth is gone, game is over, bad bet, she left the states went back home, 
She learned to live humbly,  without presumptions
Donna Lea The Queen of her own Backyard

Yo No Se Lo Que Va a Pasar (Live)

Building on the success of her Independent Music Award-winning second release Sube Azul, vocalist Sofia Rei returns with the spellbinding De Tierra Y Oro ("of earth and gold"). Rei describes the album as a series of "philosophical wanderings" -- songs that draw on a wide range of South American folkloric influences and bracingly modern sounds, with Rei's powerful voice in the forefront. Rei produced the album with her longtime bassist and collaborator Jorge Roeder and co-producer Fabrice Dupont.

"Journey to Rio" from Journey to Rio by Roger Davidson

Journey To Rio

"Bridge To Bahia" on Journey to Rio by Roger Davidson

Bridge To Bahia

Christopher Butcher is a musician firmly established as a representative of Toronto’s global music village, transcending genre and cultural predisposition, and pleasing audiences across the world. As a first rate trombone player, an up-and-coming record producer, a busy session musician, and co-leader of one of 2011’s most heavily buzzed new bands, The Heavyweights Brass Band, Christopher Butcher illustrates a promising portrait of an influential career in music.
Hailing from the heart of Canada’s vast prairies, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Christopher’s love of music was born of a musically diverse household, in which he got an early education from his father’s jazz record collection and his mother’s taste for classical radio. Moving to Toronto in his late teens to complete Humber College’s jazz studies program, Christopher hit the ground running, building a reputation as a first-call trombone player in the city’s vibrant jazz and world music scenes. Associations with acclaimed artists, which include Jane Bunnett, Hilario Duran, Archie Alleyne, and Jay Douglas, among others, sharpened Christopher’s leadership skills, preparing him for the next step in his career with the formation of The Heavyweights Brass Band.
The Heavyweights Brass Band begun sparring in 2009 when Christopher and four like-minded musicians committed to enacting an original musical vision. Engaging a repertoire which calls on both original music, as well as the social music of the day, the Heavyweights have created a musical gumbo which mixes traditional New Orleans jazz with ingredients such as brass band music, funk, world music, pop and blues. With songs from their debut album Don’t Bring Me Down included in heavy rotation on CBC and JAZZFM radio, word of the Heavyweights’ vibrancy has caught the ears of many, including one of the world’s most respected tastemakers, Gilles Peterson, whose compilation Havana Cultura: The Search Continues features the Heavyweights’ recording of Christopher’s original composition, Nueva Orleans featuring Ogguere.
“I am blown away by this thoroughly fresh piece of cultural collaboration. I have never heard anything like this before!” - Gilles Peterson
2012 will see Christopher Butcher make further strides in the trajectory of his rising star, with a performances across Canada and the world, two arrangements/ co-production of his featured on Mundo: The World of Jane Bunnett on EMI, sideman appearances on numerous records by Canada’s best, the celebration of a Juno nomination for a record on which he was a featured soloist (Aline Morales’ Flores, Tambores e Amores), production for several artists, and the debut full length record by Christopher Butcher as a solo artist.
