THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and more in a show artfully arranged for radio. [abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Wed.: From the age of 5, when she first picked up violin, through summer fiddle camps to joining the Darol Anger Fiddle Ensemble at the age of 14, Brittany Haas has shown an extraordinary affinity for old-time fiddling. Great-great granddaughter of a Missouri fiddler, this California native recorded her amazingly mature self-titled album debut at the age of 17. Darol Anger produced and played on the album, joined by Bruce Molsky, Scott Nygaard and Brittany’s cello playing big sister, Natalie Haas. It’s a fine selection of Brittany’s favourite fiddle tunes, lovingly played and artfully arranged. Thu.: Russian-born songster Zulya has lived in Australia since 1991. Her first languages were Tatar & Russian. Literally & musically, she’s multi-lingual. Zulya sings only in Russian on her new CD “The Waltz of Emptiness (and other songs on Russian themes)” but its music is richly diverse & beautifully sung & played. Her band – “The Children of the Underground” - features bassist Andrew Tanner, guitarist Lucas Michailidis accordionist Anthony Schulz & percussionist Justin Marshall. Assorted guests appear, as do sounds recorded in the Moscow Underground during a recent, prolonged stay in the Russian capital. Like Russia, this album is instantly alluring, but also complex, mysterious & at times, dark.
Fri.: The stringband music of Papua New Guinea is a musical delight on our doorstep and George Telek is the music’s foremost exponent. His new album “Amette” (his third international release), produced by Not Drowning Waving’s David Bridie, focuses on the acoustic side of his music. He performs pieces in various stringband styles – all of them characterised by high strumming guitars, percussion and sweet three part harmonies. Also included are two vital tracks from his 1986 recordings with the Moab String Band.
