“Move” from Bireli Lagrene (Jazz Manouche)

This album shows why Bireli Lagrene is a master guitarist. Bireli is not only one of the best living guitar players in gypsy jazz - he is also one of the most creative. On this album, he gives us a new take on Django's music that is simply stunning. "Move" has a smaller, more focused sound that it's predecessors, and the addition of the saxophone brings a really fresh twist to this great old music.

Burhan Öçal & Jamaaladeen Tacuma - Groove Alla Turca (Featuring Natacha Atlas)

"Groove Alla Turca" is a project that brings together two worlds apart; the world of Burhan Öçal, who grew up playing traditional rhythms of Turkey, with that of Jamaaledeen Tacuma, a world of jazz, blues, funk and soul. This is a meeting of percussion and bass, rhythm and groove, of traditional players on kanun, oud and clarinet, darbuka and violin. Jamaaladeen Tacuma is joined by some of the finest musicians from New York and Philadelphia, Jack Walrath, a long time associate of Mingus, is the trompet in the horn section. Art Baron and Ben Schachter complete the front-line on the trombone and tenor, Daryl Burge and Rick Iannacone, both from Phili, are the force behind, on the drums and the guitar. It was a destiny to have Natacha Atlas on four tracks, as she happened to be in town during the recording sessions. Her presence seems all planned as her Arabic vocals flow wih the groove. The result is a funky sound with many colors, a big sound with many details. This is jazz, funk, ethnic, tradition. This is groove in a Turkish way.

Jorge Pardo y Chano Dominguez, « 10 de Paco », (Nuevos Medios, 1995)

People might not expect flamenco on an album featuring piano, soprano and tenor sax, flute and double bass. 10 de Paco, an album featuring 10 well-known songs composed by Paco de Lucia, has no Spanish guitar on any of its tracks. Still, this recording by Jorge Pardo and Chano Dominguez is one of the most flamenco-oriented albums I've ever had the chance to listen to.
Of course, there is more than flamenco to it, taking into account who is involved in the project. There's jazz, or let's say flamenco-jazz (that thing that Pedro Iturralde started as a very experimental jam-session).

There's improvisation, there's some type of "classical" style at particular moments in the way that Chano develops and harmonizes the melodies and in his interpretation, and there is a bunch of unusual development on the percussion side of things.
This is a highly recommended album from all points of view.
