    World Village Natalia M. King Soulblazz (N) Stronger Than I
    Tangents CD Thank You gift:

    Natalia M. King Soulblazz
    ($75 pledge)

    Natalia M. King carries the heritage of black music in her soul, its rhythmical groove
    as well as its strong sense of identity and passionate commitment. The tracks on Soulblazz pulse to the power of three:
    the spirituality of soul, the intensity of the blues and the aestheticism of jazz, to which the singer injects the energy of her rock roots.
    So don't be surprised should your ears echo the spirits of Nina Simone, Thelonious Monk and Janis Joplin.

    (to Jon Hassell)
    Tangents CD Thank You gift: Dhafer Youssef

    Birds Requiem
    ($75 pledge)

    Oudist/Vocalist Dhafer Youssef is in a class by himself when it comes to fusing Arabic stylings with jazz, classical, and beyond.
    His spellbinding impassioned vocals are like no other. This album is extra special because two of my favorite Turkish musicians,
    Hüsnü Şenlendirici, clarinet and Aytaç Doğan, kanun (2/3 Taksim Trio who were part of the 2007 Tangents Turkey Music Tour) play prominent roles on this album.
