Global A Go-Go presents:
Motion is imperative. We keep moving.
Here’s an implausible scenario: You develop the idea for a debut album as part of your masters’ thesis. You write and record and the album. It’s released, and it’s immediately compared to the best work of Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Don Cherry.
Implausible yes, but that’s what’s actually happening to South African drummer Asher Gamedze, whose debut Dialectic Soul seems likely to be one of the most acclaimed releases of 2020. I’m here to tell you: it is really good. Tune in to Global A Go-Go this week and hear two selections from it as part of an entire first hour dedicated to South African jazz.
Also this week (Monday July 27, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): reggae both devotional and topical; a short trip to Brazil, the world capital of intelligent pop music; and a taste of electro-cumbia.
