{"product_id":"mcdermott-tom-bamboula-cd-2424702442","title":"Tom McDermott - Bamboula [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eTom McDermott, a pianist and composer from St. Louis who settled in New Orleans more than 20 years ago, steeped himself in the local lore from the classical compositions of Louis Moreau Gottschalk to the Mardi Gras mambos of Professor Longhair. He also delved further into Latin America - to Argentine tango and to Brazilian choro, a cousin of ragtime - and elsewhere. \"Bamboula\" (Minky) is a compilation drawn largely from Mr. McDermott's previous albums. The album is named after a Gottschalk melody that gets a tambourine-tapping choro-meets-traditional-jazz treatment; Mr. McDermott also thoroughly revamps two Scott Joplin pieces. But the other 13 ingenious miniatures, played by small groups that often include Evan Christopher on clarinet, are Mr. McDermott's own: compositions that can simultaneously invoke Chopin and habanera or New Orleans slow drag and Parisian bal-musette, complete with accordion. The pianist and songwriter Van Dyke Parks chose the tracks, and they reflect his fondness for nostalgia gone surreal - seemingly antiquarian settings where strange twists and turns occur - and for chromatic rambles that end up making sense. Mr. McDermott's time-warped parlor music turns out to be as wily as it is elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpulence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIrresist Vel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeliotrope Bouquet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusette in a Minor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Brenda [For Brenda Hearing]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtrapado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLe Man Ge Rouge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Big Man [For David Thomas Roberts] 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Chrysanthemum 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTango Ambiguo 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCasa Denise 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost Rio 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsouciance [For Richard Scott] 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealidade Saudade 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta Teresa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"128","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50564756963624,"sku":"82424702442","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/1986424.jpg?v=1763985947","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/mcdermott-tom-bamboula-cd-2424702442","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
