HLS - Hellborg Lane Sipe enthusiasts

#21
I fell in love with the Hellborg/Lane collaboration when i first bought Abstract Logic when it came out back in the mid 90's. This was my first fusion CD and it just blew me away.

I was able to see HLS in Atlanta (Variety Playhouse, 4.19.02)when they opened for John Scofield.

I was an exchange student at UNF Jacksonville back then so a friend of mine and I drove up there. WOW. I could finally meet my idols (Hellborg speaks perfect French btw) and get their autographs. They were all super friendly and accessible.

Then John Scofield came onstage...played a few notes....My friend and I looked at each other "Let's get the f*ck out"! lol

Nothing could top what we had just experienced.

By the way: If you guys want to experience some INSANE fusion (jazz/world music) you have to listen to the duo Maria Joao/Mario Laginha. They released many CDs but their album "Cor" and "Chorinho feliz" are to die for.

Here's the youtube link to "chorinho feliz". The intro is killer and the bass solo at 5:10 is super tasty.

Anybody know of a good resource in breaking down Eastern Indian rhythms? It's my understanding that they aren't as simple as 7/8, 5/4 or what have you. Rather they are a series of combinations all strewn together and commonly memorized through audible cues. "Aga of the Ladies" is a favorite, but I could never quite break down how it's counted.

I am no fan of Jonas Hellborg.
Actually I really don't like what he does.
That gets in the way of me enjoying projects he is part of.

I have heard some things that involved Jeff Sipe however that I liked.

I took lessons from Kai Eckhardt a few years ago and asked him to teach me Konikol. Essentially this is how they teach tabla players rhythm using syllables. I'll break it down to just the first 4 groupings

1= Ta
2= Ta Ki
3= Ta Ki Ta
4= Ta Ka Di Mi

From there it just breaks down to math and how you subdivide. Lets use 5 as an example.

1+4= Ta Ta Ka Di Mi

2+3= Ta Ki Ta Ki Ta

3+2= Ta Ki Ta Ta Ki

4+1= Ta Ka Di Mi Ta

From there you can get as complex as you like. I actually prefer this method to the western 1 e and a method because there are certain numbers like seven and eleven that are more than one syllable that can throw off your count.

C/S,
Rev J

google konnakol. Lots of you-tube resources. I think John Mclaughlin even has a video series for that system.

I heard that as well. Nice to see the new January releases - I pre ordered both. The drummer on Jazz Raj is fantastic. Saw him on a live fusion DVD (put out by Abstract Logic I think) with a bunch of other groups and his solo killed! He also did a tune called "Origin" with Matt Garrison. That,s a sweet groove for a bassist to dig into.

Yeah, Ranjit Barot is great! His solo album is well worth checking out. Abstract Logic has so many great albums on it's label.
