Roswell Rudd's MALIcool with Toumani Diabate (2002) torrent

Jazz trombonist Roswell Rudd seeks out the elusive Toumani Diabaté - a master of the unusual 21-string harp-like kora - and his ensemble in Mali, and the resulting sessions are fresh, exciting, exasperating and completely unique.

“MALIcool” (2002) features, along with the kora, the banjo-like ngoni, the tuned percussion of the balafon, guitar, bass and percussion.

The blend is infectious and appealing on a variety of levels. Melodic and danceable, this may be Rudd's most accessible record, yet for all its engaging characteristics, it never fails to be imaginative and audacious.
