Music of Indonesia, Vol. 13 Kalimantan Strings Another amazing album from what has to be the closest there will ever be to a defintive Indonesian music series. This sounds a bit West-African in places, but played much more slowly and with gongs, the gongs...
Actually there is an awful lot of stuff going on in here. The vocals often have a very Indian feel with familiar ornamentation and a similar timbre, while the strings are balanced somewhere between Szechuan and Bamako.

That sounds very interesting, Joel. I haven't been to Kalimantan, but I have been to the bit of Malaysia above it to climb Mount Kota Kinabulu. Some of the music we heard on that visit was tremendous. Is this series currently available, and is it on vinyl or CD?

There is a short world music section in the catalogue of a dealer I have used quite often.
 
Hey, you're not wrong! I love that Crowes album.

supersax play orchesrated tunes by Bird, Bud Powell, Med FLory (the leader), A.C. Jobim and even swing a traditional folk song. Wonderful.

Currently working my way through the rather good Sinopoli/Philharmonia Mahler cycle (the songs have been particularly fine). Listening to symphony no. 5 at the moment.
