Meklit's new album - When The People Move, The Music Moves Too - came out June, 23 2017 on Six Degrees records. Within hours, it had reached #4 on the iTunes World Music Charts. Produced by multi-GRAMMY winning singer-songwriter/producer Dan Wilson (Adele, John Legend), the album was inspired by Mulatu Astatke - the Godfather of Ethio-Jazz. Back in 2011, he told Meklit, "find your contribution to Ethio-Jazz and keep on innovating!" His words sparked these 11 celebratory songs, born of of a hyphenated Ethio-American identity, as Oakland as they are Addis. The record features world renowned musicians Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the violinist/whistler Andrew Bird

Between 1979 and 1982, The Universal Togetherness Band tracked unearthly portions of their sprawling songbook for bewildered students in Columbia College's audio engineering program. Storming the gates of Chicago's premier recording studios, the erudite party band explored permutations of soul, jazz-fusion, new wave, and disco with little regard for studio rates or the availability of magnetic tape. Universal Togetherness Band captures the brightest, never-before-heard moments from this visionary group's 5-semester recording bender.
@rostasi, do you know what the relationship is, if any, between Stockhausen's Setz die Segel zur Sonne and Pink Floyd's contemporaneous Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun?
Yeah, I really don't think it was a "title" influence. It was '68, and both astronomy and astrology were heavy in popular culture. "Waiting for the Sun"; "Anthem of the Sun"; "Paper Sun"; "Ice in the Sun" and so on...
I'm working on an academic article today, so need some 'easy' music that will not distract me! So started with Van Morrison The Healing Game. I might go to the Al Kooper Live album above next, thanks Confused.

Well, after a terrific weekend away at my brother-inlaw's cottage, we drove home this rainy Monday listening to featured Lhasa, Roberto Torres & Bill Laswell, Noro Morales, Buckethead ... A great listen.... then notes from discogs Recorded to tape montreal at the hotel2tango studio between december 07 december & 8 november 2008.
Lhasa's third album Lhasa was released in April 2009 in Canada and Europe, with fewer musicians involved in the production. The next month in the U.S., she could also be heard on the title track of Patrick Watson's album Wooden Arms. After the Lhasa album was recorded but before it was released, Lhasa was diagnosed with breast cancer. The album's closing song, "Anyone and Everyone", was described as prophetic by Jan Fairley of The Guardian – it was written from the viewpoint of one who knows death is near. Lhasa said that the song was about inner happiness and "feeling my feet in the earth, having a place in the world, of things taking care of themselves."
Because of her illness, Lhasa canceled a proposed world tour that would have begun in late 2009. She also set aside plans to make an album of songs written by Chileans Victor Jara and Violeta Parra.
A sad wonderful listen... then Innara George & Greg Kurstin Another beautiful voice... then as we drove in the driveway this started
Gotta be careful or one day my wish might come true. Still, looking over that lake as the sun is setting is a truly beautiful sight. Can't wait till next year. Fennesz - Endless Summer with bonus tracks

@rostasi, do you know what the relationship is, if any, between Stockhausen's Setz die Segel zur Sonne and Pink Floyd's contemporaneous Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun?
but the only connection is that Floyd were very influenced by Stockhausen.
It was '68, and both astronomy and astrology were
heavy in popular culture. "Waiting for the Sun";
"Anthem of the Sun"; "Paper Sun"; "Ice in the Sun"
and so on...
