Roswell Rudd
Although he's a well-known jazz trombonist who has played with all the greats, Roswell Rudd's Malicool (with Toumani Diabate) has prompted people to sit up and take notice of his non-jazz work. Rudd continues to record with musicians from all over the globe, ranging from his Mongolian Buryat Band to the ensemble featured on his new cumbia/tango/merengue album, El Ispíritu Jibaro.

Global Drum Project
Hard to believe it’s been 15 years since Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum entourage last played together, but all that’s changed with the reunion of Hart and tabla master Zakir Hussian. They’re the driving forces behind Global Drum Project—a unique update on Planet Drum that includes a new album, a recent U.S. tour and a tighter emphasis on melding drumming with modern technology.
