| Featuring Douglas on didjeridu, flutes & rain stick, Adam Lane on bass, Steve Goldstein on acoustic & electronic percussion and the poetry/voice of Louis Alemayehu. We certainly don't hear from AACM reeds hero and flute-maker Douglas Ewart often enough (just 3 cds in print), so this righteous date is a welcome surprise. On this date, Mr. Ewart is featured on the didjeridu, an ancient and sacred Aboriginal wind instrument that dates back some forty thousand years. This instrument has become very popular over the past decade all over the world, yet few who play it know of it's sacred quality and history. Ewart has studied it at length and respects its sacred nature. Although I am unfamiliar with the poet and percussionist here, the young bassist Adam Lane moved here in recent years and is one the best and most ambitious bassists we've seen/heard, his quartet with John Tchicai, Paul Smoker & Barry Altschul is just one of many successful projects he is involved in. 'Songs of Sunlife' opens with "Alone, Not Lonely" which features a fine mystical clay didjeridu. "Mud Bath II" features three different bamboo didjeradus which quietly weave the low end drones together just right. Adam's subtle, tasteful bass supports Doug's hypnotic bamboo dij on "Dancing Inside of Soul". Each piece deals with a different texture or approach to one or more didjeradus and each is fascinating and sounds ritualistic in an enchanting way. A splendid way to spend the day.
