An unprecedented collaboration between three cultural visionaries: DAVID KRAKAUER, champion of klezmer music and world-class clarinetist; legendary funk trombonist and arranger FRED WESLEY, celebrated for his work with James Brown and George Clinton; and hip-hop renegade and beat architect SOCALLED – Abraham Inc. heralds a time when boundaries are eroding, mutual respect is presumed, and musical traditions can hit with full force without concession or appropriation. Backed by a three-piece horn section led by Wesley, plus musicians who collaborate frequently with Krakauer and Socalled – and the result is an all-out klezmer-funk dance party!

Oxingale
Inspired by centenarian composer Elliott Carter and his two Figments for solo cello, the new program brings together a wide range of important new music for cello and electronics by leading and emerging North American composers. From the Middle Eastern microtones of Gilles Tremblay's Threnody for Lebanon to Ana Sokolovic's Balkan folk-influenced Vez, from Serge Provost's cutting-edge Les Vertiges de S. for electronically-processed solo cello to up and coming composer/songstress Du Yun's San, a deconstruction of haunting ancient Chinese fragments, Figment embraces the diversity of our collective experience. The program, which also includes music by Steven Stucky, Luna Pearl Woolf, and composer/producer Socalled, celebrates innovative North American composers who seek a renewed lyricism and epitomize a new era of hope and creativity in the face of challenging times.

Ever since the Ethiopiques CD releases reminded the west about the extraordinary music that could be heard in Addis Ababa in the golden era of the 1960s and early 70s, there has been a flurry of very different fusion bands making use of Ethiopian influences, including this young French five-piece who take their name from an Addis monument. They are good players who mix funky guitar with bass, drums and horns – brass was often a crucial ingredient in the Addis sound – and they have mastered the distinctive, at times Arabic-sounding Ethiopian style.

The hedge fund industry continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and within this universe, the socalled "fund of funds" is king. Comprised of multiple-manager portfolios bundled together as a single multi-hedge fund product, this risk-balancing vehicle has emerged as the instrument of choice for the astute investment professional. "Hedge Fund of Funds Investingwalks the steps for creating, combining, and managing investments with multiple hedge funds as a fund of funds–to achieve specific investment objectives as well as the overall strategic diversification so highly valued by institutional and individual investors alike. Nicholas explains the building blocks of a fund of funds and how they can be incorporated into a traditional portfolio. He also teaches how to evaluate risks, estimate potential returns, and choose statistical measurement methods.

I had the original album, so didn't use to much time on the remastered stuff. It's always those extra recordings I find interesting in this kind of boxes. Disc 2+3 contains several demoes etc. of the album tracks, ordered as on the album. They are OK, but not that different, so the real bonus was actually disc 4. The live recording was interesting, even though the quality was poor. For a regular DVD release it wouldn't be appropriate with such low quality, but it was a nice additioin on a collectors box like this, to finally see them live in the early days.
