?Sudama with Sapphron Obois (sax)? is a CD collection of original songs, poems, lullabyes, and ballads, by Sudama Mark Kennedy as well as classic poems set to original music. Perfect for intensive and repetitive listening as well as perfect background music that is both soothing and energetic for all kinds of warm-hearted environments. If you combine James Taylor?s more baritone voicings with Sting?s or Lorena Mckennit?s Anglo-literary bent and world influence, as well as the heart feeling of a Stevie Wonder song with Sade?s mystical edge, you get Sudama?s mytho-poetic healing landscapes supported artfully by Sapphron?s delicious sax tone. A truly unique CD! ?Sudama? is a spirited, heartfelt, world folk jazz journey with an edge, which includes three Rudyard Kipling poems from the Jungle Book put to music for the first time: ?White Seal?s Lullabye? ?Shiv and the Grasshopper?, ?Hunting Song of the Seeonie Pack?. ?Wynken, Blynken, and Nod? the eternal lullaby by ! Eugene Field (circa 1895) is given new life by Sudama?s mystical oceanic music. ?El Nino? begins softly and blows up an instrumental gale of Sapphron?s sax and Sudama?s shakuhachi against zither waves and a guitar bass line. ?Caught an Angel? is your muse flapping her wings. ?Awakening? is a spoken word invitation to understand the wisdom of the body and the wisdom of Mother Earth against compelling and propelling tablas and trance guitar, with a triumphant sax coda. ?Beshr the Barefoot? is a sitar, sax, bass and doumbek celebration of a Sufi mystic who gave it all up for God. ?Sailor?s Bid? is Sudama?s original haunting love ballad featuring Sapphron?s piano and sax. ?Flying Girl Waltz? and ?Meganne?s Water Music? are instrumental 6 and 12-string steel acoustic guitar pieces respectively, in DADGAD tuning.
