It’s cold here in Winnipeg as I write this (cue the “isn’t it always” remarks) so going outside is not nice. It’s probably better if this edition of OMJ goes a little outside and I stay inside all warm and toasty. Music from the Burton Greene/Damon Smith/Rakalam Bob Moses Trio, Netherland’s Spinifex, Germany’s Gorilla Mask, Portugal’s Ricardo Toscano Trio, and Ganjibiri, an electric ensemble from Norway, are all well-beyond the mainstream. Even the Rakalam Bob Moses “When Elephants Dream Of Music” which opens the show was far from mainstream back in its day. The intensity cools a bit for two new trios from Europe, Blue Lines from Amsterdam and Francesco Negro from Italy, but basically this show is pretty much “outside”, but still very hot.
