My Note About Them
Transcontinental Music
By: Arie Rachmawati
Unique, it just started from my conversations with
foreign musicians at the Modern Art Group on music with language
limitations of each. However, due to the intensity of the musical
language of communication eventually we became friends. Friendly
through facebook, and glide CD's to my home.
I think that music is a language other than the world, the music
without having to translate as much detail as possible for the layman,
just focus on the rhythm of the song, mind and heart off following the
bars, then we can be music lovers.
Obviously suit each person's taste. Incidentally fifth CD contains
mostly instrumental and they were musicians from various countries with
the ability to play each instrument to be able to create beautiful
harmonizing tones. Music across continents, so I called it.
Unique, unique again, because the five compact discs that I know
where each constant separately musicians and really did not know that
they are friends. The five compact disc of jazz, blues, ballads really
are:
* Kazhargan World - Wonderful Times
* Flow - duos trios quintets
* Max Ridgway Trio - Blues And Curiosities
* Max Ridgway Trio - Live At Borders
* Max Rigdway - A Little Night Music

In chemistry I already know the familiar first song titled Wonderful Times
either through Youtube account the pianist Stan Z and Max Ridgway the
guitarists often give a link to my facebook wall, long before the CD
release. Then it was the one I listened to as a whole through the
original compact disc does feel different. "I enjoyed!" Gentle rhythm
is very fit to accompany a relaxing time while enjoying panoramic views
of the fall of dusk slowly, correctly in accordance with its title
track opener is Wonderful Times. Then the guitarist introduced me to
the blower that Cheryl Pyle flute, which was expertly made the
following poem:
K A Z H A R G A N ... a word of open gestures a word with no specific translation
open values in the meaning for us all to seek out find your own way
in songs of worlds born in heart sauna jazz. (Cheryl Pyle 10.29.2011)
On track number 4, Cheryl Pyle illustration lacks poetry
reading his own flute, followed by another rhythm. Behind the CD, on
the back cover says something like, "I express my gratitude and
Admiration for my wonderful friends and musicians excelient: Hans Peter
Salentin from Germany, Cheryl Pyle and Tony Cimorosi from New York,
Sean O'Bryan Smith from Tennessee, Max Ridgway and Brian Mitchell Brody
from Oklahoma. Thanks for their skill and devotion to music, good
sensitivy, patience and love. "- Stan Z. This indicates that they are
not contiguous but could produce a slick music. In this CD actually my
attention focused on Papa Z or Aleksandr Zaslavsky, he is the father of
the head of this group. Great!.
A trust of his I ever get some special link to see the father's
skill are very fond of percussion and drum his tools. Father and son
were musicians. Bravo! That was my introduction to a piece of light
blue CD, picture sparrows lined the fence. Now I will introduce the CD
sent from Obernbreit, Germany is "Flow" with the title "duos trios quintets"

Hmm. . . FLOW when translated means the flow,
which probably meant is like flowing water. But not a barrier to
listening 15 tracks packaged in an album titled "duos trios quintets". Of the six musicians on this album FLOW three of whom are musicians from Kazhargan World as Stanizlav Zaslavsky, Cheryl Pyle and Sean O'Bryan Smith. And the other three are, Arne Hioth (Oslo, Norway): trumpeth, Oddrun Eikli (Oslo, Norway): vocals, words and melody lines and Axel Weiss (Obernbreit, Germany): guitars and composing, rhodes piano.
Flow so wow, I honestly was not a bystander music but music lovers.
So I listen to music so catchy that it will sway my head right-left to
follow the rhythm of song. FLOW opening song on the album struck me as
very energetic opener, welcome Cheryl Pyle voice greets the listener
with his illustrations breezy flute sounding lead guitar Axel Weiis,
others follow.
That's what I respond when listening to a song called "Let it go with the Flow",
duration 4:54. Followed by the second track, I still do not know the
vocalist named Oddrun Eikli, but so often hear their songs through
fanpage Axel Weiss-Stan Z, Youtube, My Space or SoundCloud, I felt very
familiar very soft melodious voice, reminds me of the sound The Groove
singer, Rika Ruslan. The second song titled, "Autumnal" with typical
intro Axel Weiss acoustic guitar, flute and voice trumpeth-end with
tenderness Oddrun voice and guitar Axel.
F L O W , this is our intrinsic music - music for
itself. We play to fulfill our love of music and heart tenderncy for
original sound which range from free jazz improvisations to composed
jazz ballads. We welcome you to listen.

MAX RIDGWAY TRIO - BLUES AND CURIOSITIES
This CD comes with Kazhargan World, 4 days ago. When observed CD Max Ridgway Trio - Blues And Curiosities, recorded on May 7, 2008, that I just received the CD "A Little Night Music and Live At Borders"
with the last recording in 2011. Well, I am grateful to know the new
guitarist of Alva, Oklahoma - USA already mnedapat three CDs at once.
This CD consists of three musicians: Max Ridgway (guitar) - Richard
Martin (bass) - Tony Swafford (drums). The Cd contains :
- Heard It Throught the Grapevine (Barret Strong/Norman Whitfield)
- Chariots (John Scofield)
- Diotima's Strange Discoveries (Max Ridgway)
- The Dancin Jellyfish (Max Ridgway)
- The Nature Theatre of Oklahoma (Max Ridgway/Jason Franklin)
- See That My Grave Is Kept Clean (Blind Lemon Jefferson)
- The Lizard King (Max Ridgway)
- Turnaround (Ornette Coleman)
- Knockin' On Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan)
- Them Changes (Buddy Milles) / Born Under A Bad Sign (Albert King)
- In A Sentimental Mood (Duke Ellington)
Guest star named Jason Franklin, comes with a
harmonica for the song "Knockin 'On Heaven's Door, and The Nature
Theatre of Oklahoma", the two songs are rich play the harmonica, was
instrumental. But in the song "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean",
sounding vocals are the star, so very atmosphere lead to a settlement
cowboy intro to the end, even the guitar Max Ridgway escape rhythms
like jazz in Kazhargan World. I personally really salute to him who
enjoy all genres of music.
I once wrote about in a previous entry entitled,"Ridgway Boston Performs Solo Concert."
There I deliberately asked the foreign correspondent to write more
articles newspaper ran a story about him, and then I copy back in the
Indonesian language and share in my blog also notes facebook.
That's the reason why I am interested in American Caucasians, because
he could get me a lot of knowledge and insight into the music, which I
need to learn a lot to him, to anyone that I would learn. Because the
study did not know the age and time.
As I write this, I have not listened properly eleven songs from the
album "Blues and Curiosities.". However, two songs track 2 and track 3,
are the songs that are familiar to my ears, through the CD before I had
received.
MAX RIDGWAY TRIO - LIVE AT BORDERS

For booking information : maridgway@nwosu.edu
Around July 2012, for the first time I received a package containing
a CD of Max Ridgway. Speechless and happy. I never thought I would
receive the gift. Not only that, but he took me to a discussion of his
music. Crazy! Who am I, why yes I am usually invited to a discussion
about music. I was the only music lovers, not a musician or a music
observers.
Okay, so say I agreed. Start the one I play the CD they will be, regardless of the composition of the songs in the album list.
From the first, until the end of the song I love the song, Ani't No Sunshine.
Both in CD titled, "Live At Borders or A Little Night Music." Older
songs owned by Bill Withers turned in some versions remain caught my
attention.So I asked permission to make a version of windows movie
maker clip with my style.
Shoots beloved side dish arrived, he gave permission and let me make
a clip with a song that I like. The difference in this album with the
album "A Little Night Music", are all the songs on this album was
recorded in a studio audience by including live shows, because every
song sounds the end of the audience clapping. Although the same song,
as Ain't No Sunshine, I was interested in her music make two versions.
Other than that I'm interested in old songs of George Harrison, titled ,"Something."
The song is familiar ears, when I was a teenager, I think
is very fitting to post photos once owned by Max Ridgway who display
the shoelaces in various forms. Something is really something, I made a
clip of her using Picasa 3, the clip shows the end it really is a song
and a slideshow that something was the one, because it is packed with
rhythm very slowly and blues jamming. Good to Something Max Ridgway
version!.

I first heard the songs on the album titled, "A Little Night Music",
I fell in love with the last song is, "I Close My Eyes". Addition to
the song Ain't No Sunshine which I mentioned above. Apparently after a
chat around ngidul, my song choice is the latest song added to the
composition of the new track list. Once again I reiterate, each
listening to a new song that I just listen, (whatever that is) I
accidentally let the mind, ears and feelings which I rolled find the
songs that I like. And it turned out really led me to express, and will
normally be followed further to make something shaped paper clips.
Given my recent more enjoy making clips with limited applications,
software and mood. Without feel I have made some clips for him, among
other things:
Ain't No Sunshine (2 versions), Something, A Little Night Music, I
Close My Eyes and Isolde. Last three tracks are original Max Ridgway,
whereas random selection of songs when I was interested in making his
clip. Thank you for your trust and Max Ridgway appreciates the
opportunity.

I am very lucky to know them through social networking media, especially facebook.
It all started with a friend of my brother named Mr. Yayan Wachyana who
introduced to pianist from Russia, Stanislav Zaslavsky about a year
ago. Then I was invited to join his group FB, and became acquainted
with the painter, artist proof, cool again named Axel Weiss and
eventually befriended guitarist from Alva Oklahoma, he's Max Ridgway
the one I was friends with all of them. Amin, because my intention is
to establish communication then all given the ease and smoothness.
Hopefully, as more and more of my friends from around the world, from a
variety of languages and cultures. With this I was gradually introduced
Indonesian music, the musicians, especially my idol Fariz RM,
and later others (Montecristo and Moving On his Tono Supartono). And
they gradually became interested in listening to our music, the music
of Indonesia. Indonesia is very rich in culture and the arts may not
merely in name only, this might be the way my little way for me
personally still love the culture, the arts Indonesia, Cinta Indonesia.
Overall, I am a music lover who was not familiar with the rhythm of
the blues, ever since I started to get to know Max Ridgway love blues
music. Through music by Axel Weiss a confidentiality jazz ballade or in
my little new to my ears, because the rich improvised instruments both
acoustic guitar and the electric guitar that. Plus the distinctive
sound Cheryl Plye and Oddrun Eikli a new atmosphere. Then through his
piano playing musician Stanislav Zaslavsky also another fifth CD
eventually became my homework to see and enjoy when his leisure while
performing routine tasks housewife.
No harm in accepting them, their music for our country. Not because
I am a part of their friendship, and I applaud. Not because of that,
but because of the music that brought me also they become part of the
musical world.As I wrote at the beginning of this note, that music is
the language of the world, it's the rhythm tone despite the
communication link with the limitations of each. And Transcontinental
Music notes, I end. Glad I could share and thank you so much for
readers who have stopped by and read, and hopefully it helped to listen
to their music.
Thanks to Stanislav Zaslavsky (Russia), Axel Weiss (Obernbreit,
Germany), Cheryl Pyle (New York City), Oddrun Eikli (Oslo, Norway), and
the artists in the Modern Art Group & Kazhargan World Jazz that has
embraced me, and Thanks for evrything to Max Ridgway.
