| Tara’s Song, the initial recording of Ahmed Abdullah’s Ebonic Tones, featuring saxophonist Alex Harding, violinist Billy Bang, bassist Alex Harding and drummer Andrei Strobert, presents a musical journey through a wide array of musical styles in order to help us understand what Abdullah himself calles “Jazz: The Music of the Spirit”. In addition to Abdullah’s own works, compositions by Ornette Coleman, Frank Lowe, Thelonius Monk and Sun Ra are also presented.
Tara’s Song was recorded in May 2004 at LoHo Studios in New York City by Robert Musso with assistant engineer Gus Oberg. The recording was mixed and mastered by Henrik Otto Donner and Esa Santonen at DER in Tammisaari , Finland. |
