               █ █▓    Fargana Qasimov. The results of the  █▓ █
               █ █▓    collaborations are almost too good   █▓ █
               █ █▓    to be believed.                      █▓ █

               █ █▓    The stories of how the compositions  █▓ █
               █ █▓    were put together are fascinating.   █▓ █
               █ █▓    In the case of Quasimov, the         █▓ █
               █ █▓    vocalist arranged five Azerbaijani   █▓ █
               █ █▓    songs, adding sections for           █▓ █
               █ █▓    improvised vocals and                █▓ █
               █ █▓    instrumentals. Kronos arranger       █▓ █
               █ █▓    Jacob Garchik then took the          █▓ █
               █ █▓    constructions further, scoring the   █▓ █
               █ █▓    songs for the quartet and adding     █▓ █
               █ █▓    short intermezzos (think of them as  █▓ █
               █ █▓    musical connective tissue). For the  █▓ █
               █ █▓    title track "Rangin Kaman            █▓ █
               █ █▓    (Rainbow)," Sakhi composed on his    █▓ █
               █ █▓    own instrument, and then wrote and   █▓ █
               █ █▓    stored the string parts into a       █▓ █
               █ █▓    Casio synthesizer. Veteran Kronos    █▓ █
               █ █▓    arranger Stephen Prutsman wrote out  █▓ █
               █ █▓    the entire piece in traditional      █▓ █
               █ █▓    Western notation. The Casio synth    █▓ █
               █ █▓    being the link between the old and   █▓ █
               █ █▓    new worlds...talk about East meets   █▓ █
               █ █▓    West!                                █▓ █
               █ █▓                                         █▓ █
               █ █▓    The music was obviously not "done"   █▓ █
               █ █▓    at this point. If you view the       █▓ █
               █ █▓    accompanying DVD, there is a short   █▓ █
               █ █▓    documentary that shows the music     █▓ █
               █ █▓    taking shape. It's very interesting  █▓ █
               █ █▓    to see the Kronos quartet, who are   █▓ █
               █ █▓    in my mind musically fearless,       █▓ █
               █ █▓    struggle with the rhythmic oddities  █▓ █
               █ █▓    introduced by both Quasimov and      █▓ █
               █ █▓    Sakhi. It was also inspiring to see  █▓ █
               █ █▓    the music come together, especially  █▓ █
               █ █▓    since the common language was        █▓ █
               █ █▓    indeed music and not the spoken      █▓ █
               █ █▓    English word.                        █▓ █
               █ █▓                                         █▓ █
               █ █▓    Sakhi's "Rainbow" is over 28         █▓ █
               █ █▓    minutes of pure unfolding            █▓ █
               █ █▓    wonderment. Accompanied by both      █▓ █
               █ █▓    frame drum and tablas, the quartet   █▓ █
               █ █▓    and rubΓb seem made for each other.  █▓ █
               █ █▓    Sakhi's composition weaves single    █▓ █
               █ █▓    lines, quartet call & response,      █▓ █
               █ █▓    serial melodic development (a kind   █▓ █
               █ █▓    of world music "round"), and         █▓ █
               █ █▓    rhythmic interplay that fools the    █▓ █
               █ █▓    ear into thinking these musicians    █▓ █
               █ █▓    have known each other for decades.   █▓ █
               █ █▓    Quite a trick.                       █▓ █
               █ █▓                                         █▓ █
               █ █▓    As impressed as I was with Homayun   █▓ █
               █ █▓    Sakhi, it was the vocals of Alim     █▓ █
               █ █▓    Qasimov that totally blew me away.   █▓ █
               █ █▓    Woah, can that man (and his          █▓ █
               █ █▓    daughter) sing! The scales and       █▓ █
               █ █▓    micro-tonalities employed in that    █▓ █
               █ █▓    region of the world make the music   █▓ █
               █ █▓    seem very exotic. More than that,    █▓ █
               █ █▓    Qausimov sings with a frightening    █▓ █
               █ █▓    amount of power and athleticism. It  █▓ █
               █ █▓    was great to see the quartet rise    █▓ █
               █ █▓    to the occasion. The looks of pure   █▓ █
               █ █▓    satisfaction on their faces told     █▓ █
               █ █▓    the story.                           █▓ █
               █ █▓                                         █▓ █
               █ █▓    Even if your curiosity about music   █▓ █
               █ █▓    from this area of the world is low,  █▓ █
               █ █▓    I would bet that the documentary     █▓ █
               █ █▓    material will impress. I was only    █▓ █
               █ █▓    vaguely familiar with the rubΓb (of  █▓ █
               █ █▓    course, now I want one) and had      █▓ █
               █ █▓    never heard Qasimov sing. Both of    █▓ █
               █ █▓    them stretched my listening          █▓ █
               █ █▓    horizons and made me hungry for      █▓ █
               █ █▓    more.                                █▓ █
               █ █▓                                         █▓ █
               █ █▓    It was obvious that the musicians    █▓ █
               █ █▓    were affected in a similar way.      █▓ █
               █ █▓    That's when you just know something  █▓ █
