NEW ALBUM...
Dear all,
It has been some time since last emailing to this list, but I’m delighted to announce the release today, April 22, of a new Silk Road Ensemble album, Sing Me Home (on Earth Day and under a full moon!).
Released by Sony Music Masterworks, produced by Johnny Gandelsman and Kevin Killen, and available on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play, it features guest artists on each of its 13 tracks:
Roomful of Teeth, Martin Hayes, Sarah Jarosz, Toumani Diabaté, Balla Kouyaté, Black Sea Hotel, Kaoru Watanabe, Shujaat Khan, Dima Orsho, Abigail Washburn, Roberto Comesaña, Anxo Pintos, Davide Salvado, Rhiannon Giddens, Michael Ward-Bergeman, Reylon Yount, Bill Frisell, Lisa Fischer, and Gregory Porter.
I’m particularly grateful to have a chance to co-compose the track “If You Shall Return…” (Track 12) on which one of my musical heroes, Bill Frisell, is featured. I hope you have a chance to give it a listen. Plenty of shakuhachi on the album (if you’re into that kind of thing!). There’s also one track featuring Rhiannon Giddens, “St. James Infirmary Blues" (Track 11) with the shakulute/furuhachi (a hybrid Western flute/shakuhachi).
