So I tried to meet my friend and go see A Magnificent Life at North Park today, but ... my bike chain broke along the way! So I walked two miles in the rain to drop it off at my local bike shop, and am now drying off and accepting my consolation prize: this impending livestream of a Balinese wayang kulit performance at Bucknell University, wherein two of my other friends are guest performers with the accompanying gamelan ensemble.

Things could be worse.

Djanger Bali by Tony Scott And The Indonesian All Stars, released on MPS in 1967.

"Indonesia and jazz? Not so far-fetched! Improvisation is a part of traditional gamelan, and modal playing goes back 1000 years; jazz began seriously delving into modes with Miles Davis in the 1950’s. Clarinet icon Tony Scott proselytized jazz during his six-year sojourn in Asia, and in so doing brought Asian music masters, including players on this album, into the jazz world. Down Beat called pianist Bubi Chen “The Art Tatum of Asia”, and saxophonist Marjono, whose influences include John Coltrane, is an authority on traditional Balinese and Javanese music. Djanger Bali is a Balinese sitting dance with a gamelan-style melody and the pentatonic Bali-Javanese pelog scale for improvisation. ..."
