At the core of this group is Malian singer Tom Diakite. He sings in the Peul and Bambara languages of the Wassoulou region, his voice rising from quiet tenderness to vigorous urgency over the funky bass tones of his ngoni hunters harp and the cascading elegance of his kora. From London comes guitarist Sam Mills, tastefully supporting Diakite with his subtle playing. Filling out the trio's sound are the able hands of percussionist Djanuno Dabo from Guinea-Bissau. Together they play music that is both gentle and passionate. Notable session players that add to the rich, understated sound of this release include flutist Aly Wague, organist Cheick Tidiane Seck, and vocalist Djanka Diabate. Two versions of the standout track "Ta'aba" are included; it is heartfelt and sorrowful, dealing with the sadness and inevitability of departing. "Idjo" is a powerful tune that explores what separates and joins society: "My truth, your truth, and the Truth itself." The song "Tama" ("To Walk") epitomizes what this group is all about, acknowledging ties to home and culture, as they join together on the journey to new possibilities. --Jeff Grubb

A Gem!.......2007-03-18
None of the music here is particularly virtuosic. But it is all beautiful. The tone of Rév's piano is particularly rich and marvelously recorded. And she is an exceedingly sensitive and musicianly player. There are subtleties of inflection, dynamics and rubato that make every piece, no matter how familiar, interesting and engaging.
But I must break off writing here because I want to go back and listen again to the last five pieces here, by composers I imagine most of us have never heard: the Pole, Milosz Magin, and the Slovenian, Janez Maticic.

Rare, Deep Piano Musique..........2004-12-27
Vierne was a wonderful composer in the line of Franck, Lekeu, Widor, Magnard, Faure, D'Indy, etc. (i.e., the Franco-Belgian school of late-Romantic [Wagnerian] chamber music). Vierne's stunning Organ Symphonies for the Cavaille-Coll organs of France form a unique body of work. And besides these, he wrote a number of excellent chamber works, solo piano works, and lieder (melodies).
This collection of Vierne's piano pieces is a fantastic find, and I urge anyone to get it immediately before it is discontinued. This is rich, deep art, similar in ethos to Franck's and Faure's. Performances and sound are great.

Product Description
Don Sheppard portrays the international show-business legend in live performances Chevalier s fans would have loved to see. Maurice shares his personal account of how his career evolved and sings many songs he popularized through the years. He even sings some of his French hits in English -- for the very first time! Act One takes place at the Henry Miller's theater in NYC in 1947, when he returns to the US after a twelve-year absence. He refers to his Hollywood career, tells us interesting facts about his life and loves, and pays a tribute to his movie partner, Jeanette MacDonald, with whom he made four hit movies. Act Two takes place at Lincoln Center in Philharmonic Hall in 1967 when he is touring 80 special cities worldwide, giving his farewell performances to his many adoring fans. He talks about his first and second Hollywood careers, tells funny stories, and regales his audience with his hits, including those from his best-known movie, the highly-acclaimed, Academy Award winning "Gigi." We also get the thrill of hearing his audience s enthusiastic reactions to the beloved icon, who became as much of a symbol of France to the world as the Eiffel Tower. Maurice Chevalier was arguably the greatest international entertainer of the 20th century. His story is a spicy "rags to riches" epic which starts in a very poor section of Paris called Menilmontant, but evolves into a long, history-making career of almost 70 years in which he is celebrated and revered the world over. Don Sheppard as Maurice Chevalier, with Musical Director Khris Dodge conducting the Chevalier on Broadway "pit orchestra." All arrangements and orchestrations are by Khris Dodge. The Director is Glenda Morgan Brown. Book is by Don Sheppard and Glenda Morgan Brown. The Sound Engineer is Jim Brady. Recorded and mixed at Jim Brady Recording Studios in Tucson, Arizona.
