Solid Ether

Let's play some clips.

We're talking about the album Motherland from Danilo Perez from the year 2000.

But yeah, let's hear a clip from that.

Who's going first? I will.

How about Panama Libra? starting at four minutes into the track.

it's building y'all have to go listen to that

yeah well i think i say this every week i'm going to have to think of something different to say but every week i say this is typical this this section of the track is typical for what you'll hear throughout the whole album and and if it was the first one the first track I would say just be prepared to see this kind of intonation, this kind of inflection, this kind of back and forth, this kind of even blending of the various artists.

And what I discovered is that there are 18 different musicians playing different instruments on this album, but we can talk about that later.

This particular one is, it's a lovely, he's an incredible jazz trumpet player, Scandinavian guy.

And the album in particular was an album called Solid Ether.

And there were these two versions of the song Merciful.

that had a lovely female vocal performance.
