911 The Falling Man
On TV last night was a documentary entitled 911 The Falling Man. This was a documentary based on a photo which was published of a man who had apparently jumped off the World Trade Centre on September 11 when the two planes hit the towers. Apparently about 200 people had jumped though officially the New York coroner had claimed no one had jumped, they were pushed out by the blast of heat coming from the plane as it exploded inside the towers. I like millions of others saw this event unfolding live on television at the time, and still see it as the event which changed my life. It has been five years now since that terrible day and I am still moved emotionally when I see the footage of the planes exploding as they impacted with the buildings, the two towers collapsing, the devastation and misery of lives lost for no reason other than someone hating the Americans and all they stood for. The photo was apparently only ever published once because it caused such an uproar at the time. I wonder what you or I would have done given the same circumstances, a thousand feet up in the air with no way out and a terrible roaring furnace beneath us making its way rapidly towards the top. Are there lessons for the living? I don't want to hate anyone for what happened though this act of flying the two planes into the buildings was unforgivable as is any act which results in a death. It's just that there was so much death in this case and it was so public. Who was the falling man? They believe it was Jonathon Briley, the sound man from Windows On The World, the restaurant at the top of the tower.

Powerspot 6 September 06
Tonight's show starts off with an interview I did with Martin Kennedy from the group All India Radio. Imagine a mix of Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois' Apollo soundtrack, mixed in with a touch of Ennio Morricone spaghetti western music, and a twist of Angelo Badalamenti's Lynchian soundworlds. This might get close to what Kennedy achieves with his latest recording. This interview is available now for download via the blog. (www.globalgroove.blogspot.com)
The majority of the program is taken from the excellent 2CD compilation entitled Desert Blues 2 Reves D'Oasis dedicated to the desert blues music and musicians bordering the Sahara desert; featuring contributions from Cheb Mami, Rokia Traore, Mansour Seck, Djelimady Tounkara, Momo Wandel Soumah, Djelli Moussa Diawarra & Bob Brozman and many more.

The great Calypso singer The Mighty Sparrow will be performing live on Saturday night at The Enmore Theatre here in Sydney. I hope that some of the regular local listeners will be able to attend what will be an amazing night of high energy music. If you haven't already bought tickets don't hesitate. This legendary performer will be putting on a very energetic performance and guarantees to get you out of your seats and in the aisles dancing. More information at www.jaslynhallpresents.com. I will be playing one or two tracks by the man himself on tonight's program.
Last week's interview with George Sapounidis aka Chairman George is also now available for download at www.globalgroove.blogspot.com
Powerspot Chairman George Special
George Sapounidis is a Greek Canadian who in his day job is a statistician for the Canadian government. He has a PhD in Mathematics and in general is a very clever man. At night time his musical persona comes out. He admits to being a folk singer, a troubadour, a romantic who sings in anything up to eight languages including Hebrew, Persian, Greek, French and oddly enough Chinese.
He has made somewhat of a name for himself in China, where he performs in various festivals often at the invitation of the Chinese government. He immerses himself into the local cultures as a result of having learned the Chinese language, and people relate to him easily and are drawn to him by his music, which in many ways is their music as interpreted by a foreigner.
George can possibly claim to be the only Greek singer in the world who can readily and confidently sing in Chinese. I haven't heard of too many others who can do this though remain open to correction.
George also had a dream, a dream which involved singing before the world when the Olympic flag was handed over by Athens in 2004 to Beijing in preparation for the 2008 Olympics. This dream was captured in a documentary entitled Chairman George which has been shown on a number of occasions in Canada to great acclaim and recognition.
I interviewed George Sapounidis at length this week about his being the only Greek singer who also sings in Chinese, as well as the amazing documentary Chairman George.
Most of tomorrow night's program will focus on George, a very likable man whose energy is boundless and inspirational. The music will be a little different but we feel listeners will enjoy listening to the man they call Chairman George.
For more information I urge you to go to www.chairmangeorge.com
The interview will be available as an mp3 download in the next few days.

Powerspot 9 August 2006
Hi All,
There was a good response to last week's array of African sounds, so tomorrow night's program will feature more of the same. (hey...when you're on a good thing...stick to it) Most inquiries pertained to where they listeners could find the music I play on air. Rest assured I try not to play anything too obscure and if I do I normally make mention of it. Most of the material you hear is locally available. I tend to spend far too much time sifting through the second hand record shops down in Pitt Street, as well as weekend markets looking for material. Shops sucha s Birdland, Redeye and SO in Newtown are good starting points. Oddly enough JB Hi Fi have a decent range of world music to choose from as well. Maybe what I will start doing is inviting listeners to send me their favourite record shop details and I will compile a list to draw from on this blog. Feel free to contribute.
Musical treats and delights to entice from the following masters of their trade.
Toumani Diabate's Symmetric Orchestra- CD Boulevard de L'Independance
Ali Farka Toure (The King of the Desert Blues Singers)- CD Savane- Savane
Ali Farke Toure & Toumani Diabate- Live Bozar Brussels 2005 (Promotional)
George Sapounidis- CD From Athens to Beijing - Good Morning Sun / Youth Dance / Sad Song Jam
The find of the year for me. George is a statistician by day and mild mannered Canadian Greek troubador singer of Chinese folk ballads by night. Lovely stuff and a real character who is immensely likable. Next week I will be presenting extracts from a special which aired on Canadian TV entitled Chairman George, all about his sojourns into China, the journey towards the winning over of hearts and minds. The documentary Chairman George is amongst other things a chronicle of George's attempts to perform at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics, when the torch was handed over to the Beijing Olympic Committee, What the hell, this would have been a perfect moment for this Greek singing Mandarin musical genius, a two for the price of one never to be repeated bargain of a lifetime. I will be speaking with George about his journey in the next few weeks so stay tuned.
2SER are having a reggae night over at The Marquee this Saturday night. This is pretty timely as I had been playing a lot of old Trojan records on the home hi-fi over the last few weeks. In the second half of the show as such, you'll be hearing from a few of the artists on this amazing label. Contributions from the likes of Ras Michael & The Sons of Negus, Delroy Wilson, El Paso, The Heptones, Alton Ellis, Augustus Pablo & Fay, Dennis Brown, Dizzy & The Soul Syndicates, Johnny Clark, Ken Boothe, Little Roy, The Upsetter & more.
Information below regarding this night.Firehouse meet Top Ranking Sound at The MarqueeSaturday 12 August, 2006...2ser's Fire on the Wire crew - Firehouse bring Sydney a big bad selection of reggae, dancehall and exclusive dubplate delivered in deadly sound system style. Here they meet Yonatan, the man behind OzReggae.com and who presents Top Ranking Sounds on Melbourne's 3RRR Radio. Tickets are $12 on the door or $8 for 2ser subscribers!I'll have some double passes to give away for this tomorrow night as well
I also rediscovered a four track CD by a local guitarist named Chris Raggatt, who had sent me his disc some time ago for consideration. Nice slide guitar work from a man who has a lot in common with the likes of Jeff Laing / Jon Butler / Bob Brozman. I'll be playing two acoustic tracks from his disc Voodoo Love Medicine-.
Don't know too much about him though I did find this blurb on the net.Chris has lived and played music on Sydneys Northern beaches for years. He is a dedicated guitarist who is passing on his knowledge and experience as a guitar tutor to many young guitar enthusiasts. When he is not teaching he is looking after his family, building guitars and developing music in his home studio in the hills of Avalon. He has played in Matt Finish, founded United Notions and is currently working with his new band called "Voodoo Love Medicine". This is also the title of his upcoming CD which provided the track "Save my soul" for ulu32.
Chris Raggatt- Voodoo Love Medicine- Secret Life / Save My Soul
Our good friends Kim Cunio & Heather Lee have asked we pass this message on to anyone who may be interested in this upcoming event. Two of the finest musicians and scholars living in Sydney exploring ancient Sephardic musical traditions. We will hear a track from one of Kim Cunio's earlier releases.

Features Kim Cunio, voice, instruments, Llew Kiek, Heather lee, voice, Llew Kiek, plucked strings, and Tunji Beier percussion.A b o u t t h e T e m p l e P r o j e c tIn 70CE the Second Jewish Temple was destroyed. The appalling casualties of the Roman invasion did not just include the innocent loss of life and those killed in resistance, but the destruction of a vibrant musical culture which included one of the great orchestras and choirs of the ancient world. The Temple project is an artistic speculation built upon the foundations of oral chant, archaeological records, and modern musicology. It is a rare project in our world, a chance to hear music as it might have been, performed by players at the top of their game. A mystical experience including yemeni shofar patterns, Baghdadi Jewish tunes from the ancient world, and stunning new compositions around all of this, featuring the angelic voice of Heather Lee.
I am hoping to catch up with Martin Kennedy from All India Radio later on this week for a chat regarding Echo Other their new disc. Also next week, music from Richard Khuzami, Duoud and other musicians leaning towards the sound of the East.

I have been somewhat slack with updating this blog in the last few weeks but here we go with tonight's program. Playing George Sapounidis' material was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to interviewing him soon regarding his release From Athens to Beijing as well as finding out what motivates him, keeps him focussed. I'm not sure of what the audience made of a Greek singing in Cantonese but to me he is a unique character who has a lot to offer.

Next week's show will probably have a bit of an islander type of feel to it. I received an excellent release by New Zealand group Te Vaka which I am itching to play, as well as a release entitled Spirit of Mambesak- Black Paradise, which is a recording of music from West Papua, and possibly one of the finest release this year. It also is a good opportunity to bring the excellent Bob Brozman & Papua New Guinea Stringbands release Songs of the Volcano in for another spin.
Tune in to hear this amazing music next week.

Tonight's show feature music from a number of releases by Australian composers, or composers now living in Australia.
Joseph Tawadros- CD Storyteller
- Track Storyteller
Joseph Tawadros is a young Egyptian oud player who is making a big name for himself here in Sydney for good reasons. He is talented and this talent is not escaping the attention of people like Richard Tognetti from the SSO who has just recently finished touring with him. Joe will be performing this Friday night with his brother James so go along and see this amazing musician who is carrying on a rich Arabic musical legacy.
http://www.josephtawadros.com
Kim Cunio & Heather Lee- CD- Music of the Dead Sea Scrolls
- Track El Eliyahu
Husband and wife team Kim Cunio & Heather Lee have been performing and recording ancient music for a long time now. Heather is also to my ears one of the finest sopranos we have in this country and a delight to see and hear. This recording accompanied the Dead Dea Scrolls exhibition of a few years back when it was on at the Art Gallery of NSW.
http://lotusfoot.com
Kim Sanders with Peter Kennard
- Cd Trance'n'Dancin
- Track Kaval Taksim- Track Ah Ya Zane
Kim Sanders is a great find for me. I was only made aware of his music last year when he contacted me and all I will say is I am glad that he did. He is an extremely talented musician who has travelled extensively around Indonesia as well as Eastern European countries absorbing musical cultures along the way.
http://kimsanders.customer.netspace.net.au/
Satsuki Odamura- CD Koto Dreaming
- Tracks Pretang / Tang with Linsey Pollak
Satsuki Odamura's new CD, Koto Dreaming is a collection of innovative and uniquely Australian multicultural compositions for koto. Koto Dreaming breaks away from the traditional sounds and compositions for koto, and includes Satsuki's own collaborative compositions with Australian artists. It is a synthesis of her inspirations gained by her working closely with Australian artists and a culmination of her fifteen years accumulative experience as a koto virtuoso based in Australia.
Koto Dreaming begins with a work commissioned by celebrated Australian composer Ross Edwards and includes pieces by composers Caroline Szeto, Anthony Briggs, Linsey Pollak, as well as Satsuki herself, in collaboration with Sandy Evans and Tony Lewis – who together comprise the trio Waratah.
http://satsukikoto.com.au
The Necks- CD Chemist
- Track Buoyant
Possibly Sydney's most famous or infamous jazz improvisers; this is album number 13 for the group and one of the most easy to listen to Necks releases in my opinion. Three pieces each clocking in at around the twenty minute mark, each different to the another. Buoyant is the more spacious of the three pieces available on this recording. It's difficult to categorize this outfit so I am not even going to try and bother to. Needless to say some of the most enjoyable and confronting music I have heard over the years has been from The Necks. I really rate this recording and urge anyone with an open mind to explore what is on offer here. We might even invite the group in for a chat in the next few weeks if they are in town.
http://www.thenecks.com
Adrian McNeil & Bobby Singh- Cd Aasha
- Track Rag Madhuwanti
Adrian and Bobby have been performing for well over ten years now, promoting Hindustani classical music here in Sydney. Adrian is one of the few 'white fellas' who has master the sarod, whilst Bobby Singh is without a doubt the greatest tabla player in this country and often involved with many different bands simultaneously. This recording was done shortly after the 911 incident a few years back. The title is a Hindi terms meaning Hope. Rad Madhuwanti is an afternoon raga of great beauty.

ain't it the truth
Recruitment - A True Classic
One day while walking down the street a highly successful executive woman
was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven
where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
"Welcome to Heaven," said St.Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it
seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had an
executive make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in." said the woman.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let
you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever
one you want to spend an eternity in."
"Actually, I think I've made up my mind...I prefer to stay in Heaven", said
the woman.
"Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in an
elevator and it went down-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she found
herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In
the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her
friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all
dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on
both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round
of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent
steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice
guy (kinda cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was
having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave.
Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator.
The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found
St. Peter waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he
said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing
the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24
hours were up and St. Peter came and got her.
"So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you
must choose your eternity," he said.
The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd
say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a
better time in Hell."
So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down
back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself
standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and Filth. She saw her
friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it
in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
"I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there
was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and
had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends
look miserable."
The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you; today
you're staff."

Powerspot 24 may 06
Tonight's edition of Powerspot was a little bit different in that most of the program was given over to Lloyd Swanton, who many will know as the bass player for The necks, as well as leader of the group The catholics. He came in tonight to speak about the new release Gondola and we also had a bit of fun doing a sort of musical blindfold test.
Material on the show tonight came mainly from the CD Gondola by The catholics, certainly in the first 45 minutes or so. Other pieces played included works from the following artists and CD's. I'm glad to report that lloyd picked most of the artists and if you are interested in hearing this interview it should be uploaded next week. There will be a link to this on the Powerspot blog.
(In no particular order)
King Curtis- King Curtis Live at Fillmore West
Lonnie Liston Smith- CD Watercolors
Johnny Hartman- CD I Just Dropped By To Say Hello
Quincy Jones- CD Body Heat
