Here is a track from my latest record "Turiyans". It mixes central Asian Sufi rhythms with acoustic guitar, saxophone, and Yamaha CS8- synths. Trippy music for people that like In a Silent Way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMKp...

Dolan music from Xinjiang. I also got to hang with these and other Dolan musicians 20 or so years ago - something that would be impossible now. The form of the music is always the same, although the modes differ - sections in 3, 4, and 5 beats to the bar. Buckle up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fhm...

A wonderfully realised version of a classic. Effortless and hypnotic. Rest of the album also worth your time, many times over. #BritishFolkMusic

More PAPA goodness. This was a community band founded and taught by the master Horace Tapscott, which started the careers of many LA musicians. This is how music was supposed to be, and should be again.

Obama ridiculed Trump, who then vowed to get revenge by running to be president. Having succeeded, he humiliated Musk, who vowed revenge and bought the government. Small men about to be in charge of a big country, at the worst possible time. Utterly pathetic.

This is my interpretation of the great Richard Farina song "The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood" - you should also definitely check out the almost unbelievable version of this song by Sandy Denny (link below) dewmitchell.bandcamp.com/track/the-qu...

So the manifesto promised China Audit now delayed (if you believe they’ve even started it!) until after Reeves’ new year China visit. Then probably till after Milliband’s visit, then i expect until after Rayners Royal Mint decision….then & then…very disappointing www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hello, I am a musician with a background in central Asian music (Uyghur and Iranian) and jazz. As it's Bandcamp Friday, I'd like to plug my two releases from this year - a solo record and a free jazz quartet. Go on, make me rich! dewmitchell.bandcamp.com
