Hazmat Modine provided a welcome shot of bona fide blues, N’awlins style. With more layers than a local kek lapis (colourfully striped cake), they got the joint jumping from note number one. Wade Schuman (diatonic harmonica, lute guitar, vocals) fronted a killer combo featuring everything from lap steel, banjitar, drums, guitars and Joseph Daley (Taj Mahal, Charlie Haden) ‘wearing’ his huge sousaphone. To the right of stage emerged the WOW factor. Steve Elson (Johnny Otis, David Bowie, Philip Glass) impressed on sax as several did over the weekend. The petite Rachelle Garniez played mean accordion and claviola but shone most with throaty vocals a la Tom Waites-meets-Satchmo on her green-themed number. NYC trumpeter Pamela Fleming (Burning Spear, Natalie Merchant) blew me – and the entire island – away. An astounding talent, she damn near stole the show at every turn.

The documentary “Windfall” shows the bitter rancor sowed among the residents of rural Meredith, N.Y., when the wind turbines came to town. When a multi-national corporation offers to revitalize a rural farm town's failing economy with a new industry, residents believe they have found the solution to their economic problems. But the townspeople grow increasingly alarmed as they discover that the company's plans for their town are far from anything they could have ever predicted.

This documentary, timed to coincide with the opening of the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, presents a cacophony of sounds coming quite literally from all corners of the Earth. It takes a closer look at some of the most obscure instruments the world has known and watch as they are played by native musicians. Exploring music as a language shared by humankind, LISTEN TO THE WORLD portrays the differences in music across cultures and eras, examines the intricate craftsmanship put into each instrument, and explores the ways in which music rouses emotion and soothes the soul. Have an exclusive first look at the designing of this magnificent museum as well as a premiere unveiling of some of the coming exhibits.
