Resistance, by Souljazz Orchestra; and Amores Pasados, by John Potter and Others.
by Souljazz Orchestra (Strut Records, STRUT 136, CD, LP, download)
Hailing from Ottawa’s Souljazz Orchestra, this infectious album kicks off as it means to go on. To blasting trumpets, sax and a samba rhythm comes the chorus of Resistance’s opener, ‘Greet the Dawn’: ‘If you kick a dog enough, the dog bites back.’ (These last four words are accentuated by saxophone stabs from Ray Murray and drum thumps from Marielle Rivard and Philippe Lafrenière.)
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
