From
Canada comes the latest release from jazz artist Kirk Starkey titled
"Songs Of Sudbury." His newest album reflects the memories of his
childhood, growing up in Sudbury, along with the loss of his brother and
re-connecting with that part of his life that has been long forgotten.
Kirk performs the album using a 1775 "ex-Otto" cello which was borrowed
from Hildegard Battista. Beginning
with "El Dorado," you can hear the warmness in this antique, classical
instrument as Kirk controls it with precision and grace. He delivers the
music beautifully as heard in "Revisionism" and "Moonlight Beach." Kirk
implements the energy of "Run Trip Hide," before closing with the
grand, almost operatic feel of "O Magnum Mysterium." To find out more

CD Review: New Jazz "Meditations" From Fertainish And Kirk Starkey Brings Us To "Sudbury"
Experimental jazz artist Fertanish recently released his latest musical
piece titled "Meditations On Ice And Plastic (Soundtrack)." It features
six different parts, with each part running no less that
thirteen-minutes long. Each part leads into the next and should be
listened to in one complete seating in order to appreciate the changes
in mood. The atmospheric sounds were simple created using the
manipulation of wine glasses with a violin bow and xylophone mallets.
The video that accompanies this release can be found on Youtube and "reflects
over 50 months of labor, held for release until the accompanying music
could be perfected for its chaotic yet peaceful decomposition." Not many
artists perfect their art with this kind of patience and should be
appreciated for what they deliver. To find out more about Fertanish and
his latest release "Meditations Of Ice And Plastic," please visit fertanish.com.
