Yes retroethnic!. A word I made up 5 minutes ago to describe today’s songs. The first song is by Tofig Guliyev, and it’s off the compilation, Jazz in Azerbaijan Anthology. I’m disappointed with the second CD of this compilation, which has lots of newage/midi drum stale jazz, but the first CD has this gem by 1917 born composer Guliyev which has a ripping guitar played like a tar on top of a 20s style big brass band joined by some accordeon and piano, very musical.

The second track is off a Klassic Klezmer Compilation (3CDs for sale on ebay), and it’s by Mishka Ziganoff, It’s the Greek Dance and I guess I remember some different form of this song, but can’t put my finger on it. This time there’s no orchestration but a single accordeon played by Ziganoff. Incredible song to say the least. Fortunately these old masters are caught on tape. Enjoy.

Tofig Guliyev - Qaytagi
Mishka Ziganoff - Grichisher Tantz
