THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues,

[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: As the double-album’s booklet observes, 'in the small state of
Israel you can find Jewish immigrants from over a hundred countries.'
Behind Israel: A World of Music (subtitled 'Traditional and World Music
from Israel') is the notion that 'Israel is the natural home of global
fusion'. Happily, its vision of Israel’s music is not in the least
blind to non-Jewish elements - Persian, Arabic, Kurdish and Hispanic
and even Brazilian, among them.
Tue.: Jez Lowe explicitly sets many of his songs in the north-east of
England, but their bittersweet, poignant and shrewd qualities speak
eloquently to attentive listeners, anywhere. One tells a true,
Australian story. As Richard Thompson has observed, Jez Lowe is one of
the finer songsmiths. His new CD Doolally bears the nickname of the
youngest (ancestrally, Italian) British soldier to win (posthumously) a
Victoria Cross in World War Two. Another of its songs, 'Regina Inside',
may not amuse the reigning British monarch. Jez Lowe’s band, The Bad
Pennies, currently includes a superb player of the Northumbrian
smallpipes, an uncommonly sensitive (fretless) electric bassist, and a
fine fiddler/female vocalist.
Wed.: He comes from North Carolina and sings with a country twang,
but Jim Lauderdale has always been on the fringes of the country music
establishment. He has lived in New York and Los Angeles, where he also
worked as an actor. For a long time, Jim has admired Grateful Dead
songwriter Robert Hunter - "His lyrics are so literate yet so
accessible.." so he contacted Robert about co-writing. Hunter accepted
and the two have since written 34 songs together, usually Jim's
melodies and Robert's words. Jim's new album, 'Headed For the Hills',
includes 13 of that song catalogue. It's a treat to hear Robert's
surrealistic words sung to Jim's sweet melodies with subtle, mostly
acoustic backing.
Thu.: Mozaik is an occasional quintet whose members come from
Ireland, Bulgaria, the United States and the Netherlands. Each is a
leading 'roots' musician, and a leader in his own right. Donal Lunny
and Andy Irvine (who's in Australia from Oct 2- 17: schedule is here:
http://andyirvine.com/calendar.html) are the Irish members, Bruce
Molsky the American, Nikola Parov the Bulgarian and Rens van der Zalm
the Dutchman. They play many instruments, all are imaginative
interpreters of 'traditional' songs and tunes from many different
traditions and some write fine songs and tunes, too. Irvine and Molsky
are also wonderful singers. Recorded in Brisbane, Australia, Live at
the Powerhouse is the group's debut CD.
Fri.: At 71 years of age, Cuban music veteran Manuel 'Guajiro'
Mirabal has recorded his first album. The trumpeter who has played on
so many of the Buena Vista Social Club albums gets his turn and it's an
extraordinary album - a tribute to bandleader Arsenio Rodriguez, the
man who changed Cuban Music in the 40s. Guest stars include great young
Pianist Roberto Fonseca, fine vocalist Carlos Calunga, and a cameo from
Ruben Gonzalez.

Aedy. This week: “Right at the church, then second left after the
