From the Hearts of the masters

DeJohnette and Suso first met backstage at a Phillip Glass concert in London 's Festival Hall. They decided to work together, and in January 2002, Suso came to upstate New York . The duo spent only four days in the studio, including two days of rehearsal and jamming. In this short but intense session, "From the Hearts of the Masters" was created.

"From the Hearts of the Masters" contains deep, mesmeric grooves and passages of inspired improvisational dialogue. It is accessible to the listener on many different levels, both crossing and transcending musical genres such as "world beat", "global chill" and "contemporary improvised music."

These two undisputed masters of their instruments create a sublime interplay; DeJohnette's "melodic" approach to the drum set is the perfect complement to Suso's virtuosic kora playing.

The Ripple Effect

The Ripple Effect is the project name for the collaboration between Composer and Producer Ben Surman from Third Zomby and Jack. Ben is working on remixing the music from ‘Hearts of the Masters' and Jack's collaboration with Brazilian musician and singer Marlui Miranda creating a style that encompasses Electronic, Drum and Bass, Ambient and World Music. With the numerous genre categories of today it is hard to find one that wouldn't be limiting to this new style of music. Jack and Ben plan to collaborate on their own original compositions in the future.
