sunn trio/sam shalabi: trippin' on coleman

A non-Western concept split album. The Ornette Coleman classic "Lonely Woman", deeply Middle- and South-Eastern adapted and re-arranged by two different artists. Arranged by Joel Robinson, Arizona's Sunn Trio are transmitting the track into a different genre with dilruba (a north-Indian instrument similar to the Sarangi), tabla, tanpura, guitar, cello, knife, bells, drums and percussion to the hazy banks of Ganges. The soundtrack for a Punjabi opium-coma. Egyptian composer Sam Shalabi (Dwarfs Of East Agouza, Land Of Kush, Karkhana, Shalabi Effect) re-arranged the track for solo oud -- delightful, complex, warm and elegant with the background of an experienced improviser. The version on the album is a different, peppier version of the same song, which was available digitally only through Constellation Records Corona Borealis project. Saraswati covers series; limited edition one-time pressing of 300.
