We are doing it again, one of our most popular features,  making 20 stellar World Cafe in studio performances available free.  Starting today, each Monday we will put up 5 more performances.  Come back each week for more, especially on February 24 when all 20 will be available.   The only catch is they disappear on February 28 at midnight. So get ‘em while you can, tell your friends and thank the artists for making these World Cafe downloads available.

The music and culture in New Orleans is so exquisitely intertwined, that one cannot separate them apart....especially the brass band sound which is directly tied to cultural elements that date back well over 100 years.
 
This is a sampling of some of the sounds of the city that has truly moved my spirit since my first visit to New Orleans for the 2005 Jazz Fest. Here, we've reinterpreted and presented this music in a way that is new and fresh (thanks to a very technically challenging and amazing mix by my good friend and DJ, Frank Foreal), yet still pays proper respect to the culture and the folks that create this music.
 
This is truly a project of passion for me. As a matter of fact, I have so much love for New Orleans, it can be challenging to find a way to accurately translate and explain my feelings for this place...
 
Thus, I found the best way to express my affection is through music and this project, "Let's Go Get 'Em", is my personal love letter to the city of New Orleans.
 
Happy listening! 

Sincerely, 

Derrick Ah Sam

MELANIE Buckle Down (Coffee Break Concert)

Playing a cover of a lovely Alison Krauss song, one of the first songs I used to play. 

Alison Krauss - The Lucky One (Acoustic Cover)

From ‘Southern Cross, Northern Skies’, the 5th album from singer-songwriter Rory Faithfield. 
International online release date - 8th Feb 2016.

First To Fall is a song about the 1st World War Anzac's lost at Gallipoli.

The opening line inspired by a transcription of Private Ralph Scobie DCM 54th Battalion AIF: "Jack Adams ran along the top of the trench and he bawled out ‘Fix bayonets and load up’ and then he came back still running, ‘Up boys and at ‘em, keep going, there is no objective’".
From Charles Bean - WW1 Historian (‘In Your Hands’)
“the big thing in the war for Australia was the discovery of the character of Australian men. It was character which rushed the hills at Gallipoli and held on there”.

'I have written a blasphemous book', said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, 'and I feel as spotless as the lamb'. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible - and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child - or perhaps its immaculate conception - the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville's magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

Starting 16 September 2012!
