We finally end the Christmas season with the Feast of the Nativity using the Julian Calendar. We wish you who celebrate today a wonderful Christmas and a very prosperous 2017!
[Music] Jimmy Scott – Sycamore Trees
Little Jimmy Scott suffered from Kallmann Syndrome, but he turned this into a benefit, developing one of jazz’s most unique voices.
[Music] Pahat Kengät – Sormesi Koskettavat
I’ve had the pleasure of writing about Pahat Kengät before, as they’ve become one of my favorite minimalist projects currently operation today. They return to this blog with two tracks that sit comfortably between Reich’s syncopation and a calming, humming drone. Another gem of a release.

[Music] TeHÔM – Despiritualization Of Nature (part I – IV)
One doesn’t normally mix Death In June and Croatian Catholicism and mysticism. As it turned out, Siniša Očuršćak, who studied Philosophy of Religion during the same time I was doing so, ended up attracting the attention of Douglas P. and releasing one of the unsung dark ambient albums of the 1990s. I understand that the project has been resurrected by another band member, and I look forward to exploring their current work.
[Music] Madurai Mani Iyer – Sarasa sama Dhana
2017 is as good a year as any to start learning a bit more about Carnatic music, and any help which can be provided by friends would be most welcome.
This is a track by an acknowledged master in the field, Maduri Mani Iyer, from Madurai, Tamilnadu, in India.
[Music] Joseph Tawadros – The Hour of Separation (2010)
Joseph Tawadros is an Australian oud virtuoso of Coptic heritage. This album comes from 2010, and is an instrumental masterpiece.
[Music] Lukas Ligeti – Pattern Transformation
Though Lukas Ligeti comes from a most impressive pedigree as the son of György, he’s his own man, making contemporary classical music which combines the best of that tradition, spliced with jazz and music from West Africa.
[Music] Hüsker Dü – New Day Rising
This year will be anything but boring. Hüsker Dü helps to usher in 2017!
[Music] Jeff Gburek – With Conscious Impurity (Coptic Clusters)
The final post of 2016 is one of the most beautiful to my years. Many thanks to Jeff Gburek for some fine releases, and thanks to the readership for their friendship, their patience and the suggestions for music. Next year, we will add interviews to the website. I won’t post as much simply because the new job will be taking a lot of time, but expect me to point you to some amazing things. More to come soon, but for now, may you and yours enjoy the night in peace, and may you wake up to something better.
