MESMERIC rhythms, primal drones, thundering fanfares, cascading drums and
plain old shaman showmanship are on tap for the audience warming the seats at
the Vogue on Friday night. The Master Musicians of Jajouka are here.

Jajoukans jump in

THE original sultans of swing, the
Master Musicians of Jajouka are credit-
ed as the source for the first commer-

cially successful world music disc.

The West discovered this music through
the ears of Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones in late
1960s. For centuries pipers from this royal
North African tribe laid down their shamanis-
tic tones for Moroccan sultans. -

You trot out the Stones as the ultimate
example of time-cheating pop longevity? Bah!
The Master Musicians have been doing their
mystical thing for 4,000 years plus.

. . Direct from the stony foothills of the Rif
Mountains of Morocco, they who have attract-

ed the reverence of the likes of Ornette
Coleman, William Burroughs and Bill
Laswell, appear in Vancouver on Friday at the
Vogue Theatre. The show is just one of the
many extremely varied offerings being made
the music lovers at this year’s jazz festival
now under way in the Vancouver area.

Other shows of note, if you can still snag
some tickets for them that is:
3 Gospel Hummingbirds, tonight at 8 p.m. at
the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. The spir-
itual brigade charges forth with exuberance
straight out of Oakland, California;
® John Scofield Quartet, plus Brad Turner
Quartet, 8 p.m. on Saturday at the Vogue. A
great evening of jazz guitar is promised with
this three-year member of The Miles Davis
Group.

Call the Jazz Hotline at 682-0706.
