DJ Rekha presents the return of...
Bollywood Disco - retro filmi classics, eclectic disco grooves Featuring the debut live performance of "Disko Madame" - the sound and fury of the bollywood femme fatale.

DJ Rekha digs through her digital and actual crates, spinning a range of filmi songs from retro tunes to the latest dance floor hits and everything in between.

Bol•ly•wood, n. [Humorous blend of the names of Bombay and Hollywood.]

1. The Indian film industry, based in Bombay; Bombay regarded as the base of this industry.

Bollywood is shorthand for the Hindi-language film industry centered in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. It is the world's largest, yearly churning out hundreds of 3-hour musical epics that also drive South Asia's pop music industry. To the current generation of South Asian club-goers, Bollywood is synonymous with the 1970s golden age of masala films. This decade produced blockbusters like Don and Sholay (which still holds the record for most-viewed film ever made) not to mention "some of the fattest funk tunes that ever pimp-rolled their way down Music Street, Bombay."

Recently, Bollywood has lit up the cultural radar of the west, resulting in extensive press coverage, references in films like Moulin Rouge and Ghost World, and the nomination of Lagaan for best foreign film Oscar. Not surprisingly, classic Bollywood soundtracks from the 70s have been the focus of no less than 5 compilations in the past few years. (However, with the exception of Outcaste Records comp Bollywood Funk, these have been mostly compiled by and for outsiders to South Asian culture and often provide an uneven view of the genre.) Even the cutting edge of hiphop production has been shaped by the retro Bollywood sound, as producers like Dan the Automator, DJ Shadow, Timbaland and DJ Quik dip into Bollywood's back-catalog to widen their production palette.

Dis•co n. pl. dis•cos

1. A discotheque.

2. Popular dance music, especially of the late 1970s, characterized by strong repetitive bass rhythms.

In NY the rise of interest in Bollywood coincides with a general resurgence in the sounds of the city's own musical golden age: the progressive disco associated with legendary clubs like the Loft, the Paradise Garage and Studio 54. In addition to the numerous compilations & re-releases focusing on the producers and DJs of this era, the Garage ethos has inspired a new generation of happenings at clubs like Spa & APT, as well as a new generation of electronic musicians.

Join chef Dan Barber in a conversation on the food sustainability movement, and the way in which the arts can foster its presence. Barber’s philosophy combines old world farming wisdom with new agricultural technologies in order to create food that is at once delicious, innovative, healthy and environmentally responsible. Dan Barber now takes his sustainability advocation a step further by explaining the positive impact the arts can have on spreading these ideas to a wider audience. As Dan explains, “The issue of food and agriculture sustainability is currently attracting a tsunami of attention. Art can play a role in the next level of this movement.”

To demonstrate this unique collaboration, The Mirror Visions Ensemble performs sneak peek excerpts from know thy farmer™—a cantata by Richard Pearson Thomas set to a number of texts drawn from the menus of Blue Hill at Stone Barns Restaurant—which will receive its official world premiere on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at Merkin Concert Hall.

This event will feature full playback of Blonde Redhead's new album, "Penny Sparkle"

Penny Sparkle was recorded in New York & Stockholm, with Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid getting production credits.

Here is a quote from lead singer Kazu Mazino about the record:

“I can’t say what Penny Sparkle is about just yet. I remember talking to Ed (from 4AD) one day and telling him that I had a vision that I was traveling to far away places to complete it. Then I landed in snowy slippery Stockholm….. and here. I fell in love with the music like falling for someone you’ve known for a long time. It was dreamy and sometimes was very stormy. At times I felt like a shepherd who was trying to herd five stallions into a yard (unsuccessfully). I felt like I was a link to everyone. I remained still and the others were constantly moving around it. I am not sure what Penny Sparkle is but I hope I offered to them as much as they offered me. I know that we have never made a record this way and if I could go back in time, I would do it exactly the same way again.”

This is a first-come, standing event.

with
Theo Bleckmann [voice, arrangements & live electronic processing]
John Hollenbeck [percussion, crotales]
Skuli Sverrisson [bass]
Henry Hey [piano, keyboard and voice]
Caleb Burhans [electric violin, guitar and back-up vocals]

After tackling American maverick composer Charles Ives and being rewarded with a Grammy nomination for it, vocalist Theo Bleckmann now takes on the mysterious songbook of British pop recluse Kate Bush. This project goes beyond merely re-creating Kate's Bush music but taking it to even further realms of sound and interpretation. Joining him in this venture will be long-time collaborator percussionist John Hollenbeck, bassist Skuli Sverrisson and keyboardist Henry Hey and special guest, mult-instrumentalist Caleb Burhans on viola, guitar and back-up vocals.

“Refurbishing Kate Bush’s music can prove as intimidating as deconstructing Thelonious Monk, because there’s so much to wrap heart and head around. Her lyrics lean toward the esoteric and epigrammatic; she writes diaphanous arrangements and luring melodies that require octave leaps and her songs are often specific to their relative song-cycle albums. Vocalist Theo Bleckmann not only exhibits the necessary musicality to give Bush’s material meaningful makeovers, he shows the moxie to pull it off in a manner that doesn’t devolve in hagiography […] rendering songs with unalloyed sound matched with smartness [...] From start to finish, Bleckmann's explorations of his cult hero in the pop world provide the ideal vehicle for him to rise above his own cult status in modern jazz" - John Murph, DOWNBEAT

Theo Bleckmann. A jazz singer and new music composer of eclectic tastes and prodigious gifts, GRAMMY NOMINATED and ECHO award recipient Theo Bleckmann makes music that is accessibly sophisticated, unsentimentally emotional, and seriously playful, leading his work to be described as “from another planet” (New York Times), as “magical, futuristic,” (AllAboutJazz), “limitless” (Citypaper, Philadelphia) “transcendent” (Village Voice) and “brilliant” (New York Magazine).Bleckmann has released a series of gorgeous and irreverent albums on Winter & Winter, including recordings of Las Vegas standards, of Berlin Kabarett, and of popular “bar songs” (all with pianist Fumio Yasuda), a recording of newly-arranged songs by Charles Ives (with jazz/rock collective Kneebody), and his new acoustic Solos for Voice “I dwell in possibility”.Bleckmann has additionally collaborated with musicians and composers, including Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, John Hollenbeck, Sheila Jordan, Phil Kline, David Lang, Kirk Nurock, Ben Monder, Michael Tilson Thomas, Julia Wolfe, John Zorn, the Bang on a Can All-stars, and, most prominently, Meredith Monk, with whom Bleckmann worked as a core ensemble member for fifteen years. He has been interview by Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air and recently performed with Laurie Anderson on The David Letterman show. TheoBleckmann.com

Avishai Cohen’s Triveni (CD Release for 'Introducing Triveni')

On September 28, 2010 Anzic Records will release trumpeter/composer Avishai Cohen’s new recording, Introducing Triveni, featuring longtime collaborators and dear friends, Omer Avital on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums. With Introducing Triveni, Cohen, now a member of the distinguished SF Jazz Collective, fulfills his artistic need to get back to music that is mainly improvised. Triveni is a Sanskrit word borrowed from the name of the confluence of three rivers in India, the Triveni Sangam, which comprises two physical rivers, the Ganga and the Yumana, that meet with the mythical, mysterious Saraswati river. Avishai’s band Triveni has a similar makeup, as he explains; “Regarding Omer, I’ve been playing with him for so many years, we know each other well, we can hear where each other are going harmonically and vibe-wise, we know each other’s time feel very well, so it is very comfortable. He’s an incredible musician, composer and bass player. With Nasheet it’s exactly the opposite: always a mystery, always surprising. He’s such a force, such an incredible drummer that never plays anything but the music itself. No ‘licks’, no nonsense. Pure truth. And on top – swinging his ass off! I never know where he’s going and every show is a new and fresh experience.” Together – this combination of the known, Avishai (the Ganga), Omer (the Yumana), and the unknown in Nasheet (the Saraswati) creates a great balance and freshness which is a unique and powerful place to create music from.

After working for a few years with longer compositions, elaborate charts and music that sometimes required much rehearsal before it could hit the stage, Cohen decided to create a band and a book of music that could be played for the first time in performance, and music that would exist to serve the improvisations, as opposed to the other way around. Cohen, who takes full advantage of the space and freedom this piano-less trio affords, composed all of the music (except the standards of course) while traveling, or waiting. Cohen explains further, “either on the subway, on planes or just waiting in line, I composed all of this music in my head without piano or my trumpet. The music is meant to be spontaneous, no hard charts, and every tune can be read for the first time on the bandstand. It started from a real need, because I often have to use subs, but it evolved into the very distinct and gratifying nature of this band.”

Drawing from hard-bop, funk, and avant-garde, Introducing Triveni features music from the Great American songbook to Cohen's original compositions, and his provocative and always soulful playing has never sounded so assured. With the release of Introducing Triveni “The Trumpet Player” continues to establish himself as one of his generation's leading musical voices.

Introducing Triveni and Introducing Triveni Part Two (working title, to be released in May 2011) were recorded in 10 hours over two and half days at Systems Two in Brooklyn, New York, partly in front of a live studio audience.
