ASIABEAT PROJECT 2007
- by LEWIS PRAGASAM  The
new ASIABEAT recording will be out sometime early 2007.It´s
been in the works now for about a year or so.The recordings were done
in different locations around the world and features many musicians/artists
from Vietnam, Australia, Argentina, India, China, Singapore, France,
Korea, Indonesia and Malaysia.´The music is very contemporary, keeping in line with the current trends in the global market, yet fresh and interesting with the ASIABEAT trademark sound. An interesting array of instruments were used for this project: Dhan Bao, Bambu Flutes (Indian, Malay, Chinese), Indian Vocals (North/South), Er Hu, Piccolo Flute, Haegum, Veena and all sorts Asian percussion instruments. http://web.mac.com/lewispragasam |
| Hi fellows and friends, Sandra Corizzo and I got back from Jakarta, Indonesia and the Java Jazz Festival. It was awesome! Many colleagues, friends and educators were there: Bob James Quintet, Jonathan Butler, Jeff Lorber, Lee Ritenour, Bluey, Tetsuo Sakurai, Doug Cameron, Gerald Albright, Chiara Civello Band, Jack Lee, Peter White, Luis Giraldo, Negroni Trío, and thousands of indonesian jazz fans...... Thanks to Peter Gontha, Paul Dankmeyer and JJF staff 2006 for invited us, and for your warmest hospitality and friendship... I hope that indonesian people has been enjoyed some of our music. Really it was the biggest festival at the world and I hope to return next year! In October I will be at Festin Jazz in Valparaíso (Chile) and in November at X Rosario Jazz Festival. I'm just producing a new CD and I hope to have it out in summer. Lewis Pragasam, Bob James Quintet and Asian Ergy drummer, has invited me to join at your Asian Project also. If you like check my site for the festival pics, next shows and news. Love, Daniel |
