(On The Spot) [independent]
A rather different new project led by the irrepressible Linsey POLLAK who is well known for his work in the multicultural ensemble SLIVANJE. As the silly name of the group implies, xylophones (well, the humarimba to be utterly correct) and saxophones are a feature. The HUMARIMBA is a large xylophone slung between two people, often played by three. After the first few tracks I was worried the disk would be too monothematic, but thankfully there are many other interesting musical flavours and diversions to come; zurna, bagpipe (glove gaida), watering-can clarinet, djembe, zills, tapan and (believe it or not) wheelie bin. These instruments help a predilection for West African rhythms and deep European influence. The other members of XYLOSAX are Ali ADAMS, Jessica AINSWORTH & Mik MOORE.
