Oyate

Product Description
Oyaté is a tribute to twelve great Native American Indian Chiefs. Great European rock and jazz performers such as Jeff Beck, Mike Cooper, Hugh Burns and Tony Coe (both of the Lonely Bears) join together with Native American luminaries like John Trudell, Carlos Nakai, Barney Bush and Kevin Locke to honor the spirits of Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph, Captain Jack, Geronimo, Sitting Bull and seven other great chiefs who contributed to the spiritual and political leadership of their tribes.

From the signature guitar sound of Jeff Beck on "Crazy Horse" to the gentle piano of Tony Hymas on "Say Tey Ti" to the inspiring flute of Kevin Locke on "Chief Song" (written by Sitting Bull); Oyaté will reward listeners with a variety of musical textures. The mixture of rock, jazz, modern classical and folk music will keep the attention of the listener as a serious musical concept, as well as an easy to listen to album.

Why did I wait ten years to review this disc?.......2004-02-21

Because I'm dense, thick-headed, that's why. Sometimes it just takes me forever to find the right interpretive approach to music. There's really no excuse for this dimwittedness, except, perhaps--and this is a stretch--there's just not a lot of analogs of this stuff out there. I also confess to a deep-seated tendency to let expectations swamp my ability to encounter unheard musics without prejudice. Something I'm working on, but something that, admittedly, causes this weird delayed-appreciation effect.

Still, let's face it. Native American/jazz discs are rare. Perhaps the closest analog to this fine music is Don Pullen's last recording before he succumbed to lymphoma, Sacred Common Ground. And, of course, many of the records in Jim Pepper's extensive discography.

Let me be completely out front. As a Catholic Christian, I struggle with Native American sensibilities. I understand there are touchpoints between Catholicism and Native American religious understandings, but my difficulty with aboriginal American music is probably as much aesthetic as theological: I just don't get the whole tribal chant thing.

Why am I so taken with this disc then (as well as with Sacred Common Ground and all of Jim Pepper's music)? After all, what we're dealing with here is, substantially, Indian chant.

You know, I just can't explain exactly what it is. Perhaps it's Tony Hymas's brilliant reinterpretation and representation of Native American sensibilities. Perhaps it took a foreigner, a Brit, of all things, the genius behind that wacko fusion group, The Lonely Bears, to contextualize this vibe in a form that makes sense aurally, sensually, intellectually, and aesthetically.

All I know is that this disc is a revelation. Such a deeply authentic Native American sensibility mapped onto an authentic jazz/funk vibe. Works for me. In spades.

This stuff is so mesmeric it's scary. Yes, listen to it driving thru Wyoming at night. But also around a fire in the Upper Peninsula, in the Redwoods in NorCal, in the Dakota Badlands, and in the middle of NYC.

Suffice it to say that there's a sound palette and vibe found nowhere else on recorded music (check out the spectacular soundscape on "Tashunka Witko," something R. Carlos Nakai could never imagine in his wildest dreams).

As any of you know who've read my "jazz beat" or "world jazz" reviews, I'm maybe the world's greatest fan of this music when it works right--as it does here with astounding originality.

I would recommend this music to just about anyone, save those who're constitutionally opposed to Native American sensibilities.

A tribute to Native American legends. Not a rock album........2001-03-03

For anyone who thinks this is something along the lines of Hymas' rock/fusion collaborations with Jeff Beck, forget it. This is a 2 CD tribute to Native American greats such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, etc. Comes across like a epic soundtrack of incidental music, symphonic interludes, Native American chants, poetry, Native American instruments. Beck guests on two cuts, but doesn't make much of an impact.

If you are fascinated by Native American culture, you may be intrigued. Listen to this while driving through Wyoming at night and it will give you chills. Otherwise, it is not for the average listener.

Groove, swing and funk. Themes and improvisations : opposites meet with Swiss bassist Christophe CHAMBET 's OYATE.

Christophe Chambet, guest bassists Alain CARON and Sylvain Gagnon, Rodolphe VERNAZ-COLAS's guitar and Stephan MONTIMARO's drums pay tribute to the soul and funk inspirations.

Excellent - Not for everyone.......2002-09-17

This recording is for those who wish to learn the songs. There is no musical accompaniment. But the singing is clear and pronunciation is very good so you can learn the songs yourself. If you are learning the red way and perhaps are joining a sweat-lodge, this will help you greatly to get the songs down and the proper inflection and tone.

Album Description

See You At The Knee is the NAMMY (Native American Music Awards) nominated release from a truly innovative band. Nominated for BEST BLUES RECORDING (2001 NAMMY's), this release is thought-provoking and highly political. Featuring the hit singles "RED MANS BLUEZ" and "EAGLE IN THE DISTANCE", this recording is so hard hitting that some Native American stations have ceased to play it after receiving so many calls.... These songs WILL MAKE YOU THINK !!! Wonderfully insightful and very realistic views of life on and off the reservations.
