The Albany label has consistently released strong recordings of concert music by African American composers, and with this release it inaugurates a new series entitled Recorded Music of the African Diaspora. That's a broad topic, and the two pieces offered up as an introduction are quite diverse. But they hang together well as a pair. Mary D. Watkins is a San Francisco Bay Area pianist and composer who has broadened her palette from jazz piano to orchestral music. Five Movements in Color is close...

Filmed while apartheid still held sway in South Africa, this video documented the joy and anger expressed by black South Africans in their music. Filled with interviews and performances by such artists as Johnny Clegg, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and the Mahotella Queens, this video documents a scene where music wasn't just a leisure activity, but a necessary instrument of resistance.

"Meticulously researched, including primary source material recently uncovered by the author, Dead Man Blues is not only a masterfully written, definitive account of Jelly Roll Morton's west coast years, but also a penetrating psychological and social study of the man and the forces that drove and shaped him."--Steve Isoardi, co-author of Central Avenue Sounds

Description by OLDIES.com: Out of the ether arrives this long-overdue, cogent, well-crafted, knowledgeable, and well-structured survey of Afropop and, as a generous and valuable bonus, a survey of the genre's organic relationship to Africa's social and political milieu over the past 50 years.

"Lining out," also called Dr. Watts hymn singing, refers to hymns sung to a limited selection of familiar tunes, intoned a line at a time by a leader and taken up in turn...

The griots represent the collective memory of Western Africa. At once musicians, historians, genealogists and praise-sayers, they pass on a very rich musical and oral tradition from father to son. Known in Mali as djeli, they often accompany themselves on the kora a magnificent 21-string plucked harp-lute, regarded as the most perfect African instrument of its type but also on the balafon (xylophone) or the djembe (type of drum). The Bambara language, spoken by two-thirds of the population, is...
