Music that crosses borders and blurs boundaries highlights this installment of New Sounds. The innovative trio Codona (Collin Walcott, Don Cherry, Nana Vasconcelos) that recorded for ECM is heard plying their unique fusion of Western jazz and various Eastern idioms. Jim Pepper was another leading pioneer of jazz-rock fusion, who successfully melded Native American music with American jazz arrangements. We hear the song "Witchi Tai To" which was originally a peyote chant and later gave Pepper a top 40 crossover hit. Also on tap is Australian cult favorite, the Necks, and New York-based guitarist/composer Joel Harrison, who appears at the 2002 New York Guitar Festival and plays a colorful, multi-textured jazz influenced by innumerable ethnic traditions, R&B and modern classical music.
