Ushti, Ushti Baba - Jutta and the Hi-Dukes (tm)
Loading...
Uploaded by modalmusicinc on Jan 24, 2011
"Ushti, Ushti, Baba" is a traditional Macedonian Rromany song of a young girl urging her father to get up because it is her wedding day. As the father of a daughter, I am not sure what to think about the deeper meaning of the words! (Smile!)
Anyway, 2011 is the band's twenty first anniversary and so the group decided to release a CD to celebrate that fact. This Jutta & the Hi-Dukes (tm) version of "Ushti, Ushti, Baba" was recorded live (as versus recording a bunch of separate tracks at different times and pasting everything together, which is how most music is done today) in December 2010, engineered by Jim Godsey of JBG Audio and edited by Terran Doehrer.
The session was done at the Music Institute of Chicago (in Evanston, IL, intuitively enough) as a five piece unit by adding Peter Bartels and Steve Hart to the core trio. A number of songs were recorded, of which "Ushti, Ushti, Baba" is the first from that session to turn into a video. This is a demo length version and a pre-CD edit, so if you like what you hear, let us know and we can arrange for you to buy the CD (with the final edit, full length version) when it becomes available.
Some "Thank yous" are due. In early 2010, Danny Wallenberg invited Jutta & the Hi-Dukes (tm) to accompany the Choir he directs at the Music Institute of Chicago.Terran Doehrer remembered how the Choir's practice room sounded and when the Hi-Dukes (tm) decided to start the process of recording the 21st Anniversary CD, he requested to use it. Timothy Mah, Campus Director for the MIC, very graciously said "yes." Michael Frank of Earwig Music Company suggested Jim Godsey as engineer who proved to be fast in set up, easy to work with, and happily willing to experiment with the unusual instrument mix and the live room challenges.
And then, of course, Steve Hart (on tuba) and Peter Bartels (on cornet and saxophone) were also instrumental (pun intended) to the success of the project. Without their skill, and willingness to endure a five hour session, this could not have happened as nicely as it turned out.
Thank you all!
