Freddy - La voz del sentimiento

Fredesvinda García Valdés (also appears as Fredesvinda García Herrera or Fredesvinda García) was born in the 1930s (sources disagree) in Céspedes, a small village in the Camagüey province of Cuba from a poor peasant family. She died of heart failure on 31 July 1961 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Known as Freddy, she sang a cappella in clubs in Havana and recorded only one album before her death. Her weight (she was over 300lbs) gave a very distinctive, androgynous sound to her voice. Read more...

Joel Harrison - Harbor

Guitarist Joel Harrison has a new Highnote recording (released April 2007). This recording was commissioned by the French American Jazz Exchange and Chamber Music America and includes French/Vietnamese guitarist Nguyên Lê, and saxophonist David Binney. As with all Harrison’s music the compositions have a wide stylistic reach — the focus for this recording is the sonic world of two guitars: Harrison, Lê (as well as Binney) all share a passion for the crossroads of jazz, rock, Indian, and African music where lyricism meets noise, Indian raga meets jazz harmony, and the after effects of electric Miles meets Messiaen and the Middle East.Read more...
