Ancestry $13.58 Saxophonist Trevor Watts has made no bones about his love for the South African expatriate musicians, especially Dudu Pukwana, who came to London during apartheid. In recent years, Watts has been playing the kwelas, high life and ritual dance music so much a part of the jazz styles of those players, especially the members of the Brotherhood of Breath, who mingled with many British improvisers. Hand percussionist Jamie Harris joins Watts for this recording of original jam tunes that reflects the traditional African and modern English way for making new music. While their range in timbre, pacing, and interplay is limited, the expression of joy they exude is rarely trivial. The difference is mainly measured in degrees of pace and energy as a slightly overblown soprano saxophone in the 6/8 ritualistic dance of “Alpino” and 4/4 of “Sarawak” with Watts on alto sets the tone. At their most creative, a stretched 10/8 time signature in extreme upper octave levels on “Three & More” and the circular sped up line of “Kerrytown” shows these two undoubtedly belong to the modern musicians sect. Vocals add to a swirling, frantic effect during “Tandem Voices,” while a more whirling dervish, Turkish or Arabian flavor has the woodwinds sounding overdubbed, but it’s actually a vocal accent on “Balintan.” Often you feel Harris is an accessory, or a second brought simply for support, as there is not much interplay or counterpoint involved. Then again, one might contend it’s all call and response as in most African music. Watts so thoroughly dominates this project, and though there’s a certain joy, exuberance, or in the case of “Anna B,” romanticism, he’s expressing his inner calling, with Harris along for the safari. While not a definitive recording, and assuredly for specialized tastes, what Watts and Harris have achieved is undeniably unique unto itself. ~ Michael G. Nastos, Rovi |

A Princess Found: An American Family, an African Chiefdom, and the Daughter Who Connected Them All $16.99 Sarah Culberson was adopted one year after her birth by a loving, white, West Virginian couple and was raised in the United States with little knowledge of her ancestry. Though raised in a loving family, Sarah wanted to know more about the birth parents that had given her up. In 2004, she hired a private investigator to track down her biological father. When she began her search, she never imagined what she would discover or where that information would lead her: she was related to African royalty, a ruling Mende family in Sierra Leone and that she is considered a mahaloi, the child of a Paramount Chief, with the status like a princess. What followed was an unforgettably emotional journey of discovery of herself, a father she never knew, and the spirit of a war-torn nation. A Princess Found is a powerful, intimate revelation of her quest across the world to learn of the chiefdom she could one day call her own. |

Baby Boy-R: A Memoir $23.95 For twenty-four years, Ray Martinez served as a police officer in Fort Collins, Colorado, working everything from minor crimes to hard-to-solve homicides. But all that time, a personal mystery nagged at him. Ray was adopted, and he desperately wanted to find his biological mother.Ray delved into his search in April 2005, soon after retiring. He was hopeful but not overconfident since his past searches had always ended in failure. This time, he put the investigative skills he acquired as a police officer to full use.By searching through public records, visiting Web sites to study ancestry, and traveling through small towns in Colorado, Ray gathered clues with dogged persistence. In the process, he met new people, developed lasting relationships, and gained a fresh perspective on life. But by far, the most significant outcome was finding his mother, four sisters, and brother-the family he had been without for fifty-four years. Baby Boy-R is a heartwarming story of a son who refuses to give up trying to discover where he came from and the courageous mother who welcomes back the boy she thought died at birth. |

Baseball Before We Knew It $29.95 It may be America’s game, but no one seems to know how or when baseball really started. Theories abound, myths proliferate, but reliable information has been in short supply—until now, when Baseball before We Knew It brings fresh new evidence of baseball’s origins into play. David Block looks into the early history of the game and of the 150-year-old debate about its beginnings. He tackles one stubborn misconception after another, debunking the enduring belief that baseball descended from the English game of rounders and revealing a surprising new explanation for the most notorious myth of all—the Abner Doubleday–Cooperstown story. Block’s book takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the centuries in search of clues to the evolution of our modern National Pastime. Among his startling discoveries is a set of long-forgotten baseball rules from the 1700s. Block evaluates the originality and historical significance of the Knickerbocker rules of 1845, revisits European studies on the ancestry of baseball which indicate that the game dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years, and assembles a detailed history of games and pastimes from the Middle Ages onward that contributed to baseball’s development. In its thoroughness and reach, and its extensive descriptive bibliography of early baseball sources, this book is a unique and invaluable resource—a comprehensive, reliable, and readable account of baseball before it was America’s game. |
