Juke Box Suite (click for details) 
|
The seven compositions on this recording where composed by
Jon Raskin with an idealized Juke Box in mind, where any kind of
music might show up from any culture or time and be combined for the next "Play".
My music listening has been informed by the spirit and work of Alan Lomax, from
blues to raga, ragtime to avant-garde, pygmy chants to Korean court music, following
styles and esthetics as they rubbed up against each other in the mingling of culture
that was made available by intrepid searchers of music. The "sides" aren?t a direct
borrowing but a weaving of the common threads that occur in all music's.
