Yesterday I saw a brilliant beautiful performance by the following ensemble (under the name 'fables') Mola Sylla: voice, m'bira, kongoma, xalam / Michael Vatcher: percussion, drums / Xavier Charles: klarinet / Andy Moore: el. guitar/ Luc Ex: el. bas

From beautiful free improvisation passages the music flowed perfectly into typical energetic The Ex-like rhythms with Charles blowing long vibrating clarinet-sounds. Sylla was quite sparing but giving the concert sometimes an 'an african' touch.

I think they played semi-compositions. There must have been some sort of repetition sessions or something. It just sounded perfect. Not a note or detail too much. It demands to be put on cd! There is tonight one concert in paris and then two dates in Holland. so for those who are in the neighbourhood.... aaah, it's nice to know that after so attending so many concerts that you still can be overwhelmed and return home most satisfied.
