Edward Ratliff with Rhapsodalia and friendsBarcelona in 48 Hoursstrudelmedia CD008The soundtrack to the film Barcelona in 48 Hours is the second and latest CD from composer Edward Ratliff. Travel, dislocation, empty train stations and the cultural mix of Barcelona all influence the wide-ranging music on this CD. Sounds from North Africa and Latin America to electronica and the night-time wail of a surf guitar all find their way in this musical journey. Featuring a cast of stellar New York City musicians including Kevin Norton, Doug Wieselman, Charlie Giordano, Sam Bardfeld, Seido Salifoski and Michaël Attias. "An intriguing tone poem that repays repeated listening" The Guardian "Fetching, globe-trotting, and insatiably romantic, [this is] a record that entrances within seconds, begs you to get involved, and ages with grace."

Edward Ratliff's RhapsodaliaWong Fei-Hong Meets Little Strudelstrudelmedia CD007An urbane, groovy mix of avant-jazz and world musics, from Kung Fu movies to cha cha. Featuring "The Wong Fei-Hong Theme" and a tribute to Hong Kong martial arts actor Hung Yan-Yan. With Michael Attias (saxophones), Sam Bardfeld (violin), John Hebert (bass), Kevin Norton (drums and vibraphone) and Edward Ratliff (compositions, trumpet, cornet, trombone, euphonium, accordion). "This ensemble achieves a wonderfully large sound for a quintet, in the manner of the grand old Mingus groups where the whole was always greater than the sum of the parts.... A great disc." Robert Spencer, Cadence "...composer-brassmeister-accordionist Ratliff has fashioned a little quintet that sustains its tenderness and agility while still blowing like Vesuvius. Factor in the gypsy strain that arrives via the Far East and you've got singularity, too." Jim Macnie, Village Voice [ TOP OF PAGE ] © 1999-2007 strudelmedia |
