Hi all: One example of mixed Tibetan music and improv, I'm not too sure everyone knows about is Auspicious Blazing Sun put out by Franklin Kiermyer on his(?)Sunship label. Kiermyer is a Montreal-born, NYC (?) based drummer who works in a mid-1960s Elvin Jones style and has released two or three albums with peronnel and sound comparable to Trane quartet with Jones. This album, however, features: Umdze Lodro Samphel (vocals); Dhondup Namgyal Khorko, Karma Dodul, Chimey Dorje, Sherab Sangpo, Chojor Radha, Tom Schmit (chants, gyaling, radung, toong, rolmo, silnyen, dribu, tingshag ) and Kiermyer (drums) Ken Waxman --- Joseph Zitt <jzitt@metatronpress.com> wrote:

For me, very few Westernized uses of throat-singing by vocalists (& I'd include most of the more poppish "World Music"recordings in this category) have the depth of the Tibetan religious stuff.
