AW Cardinal and Jasmine Colette continue to create very new
and very different music.
The last album was recorded over several days in New
Orleans.
The new album, Get Your Feathers Ready, was a meeting of
Coast Salish and Treaty 6 in Maskwacis, Alberta.
One day of rehearsal with AW, Jas, and the Northern Cree
Drummers and Singers.
Jas and AW had discovered that early 1920s blues from the deep
south and Northern Cree traditional pow wow had a
commonality.
They each brought their songs and met in the middle.
It feels like the start of a historic journey. Two legendary
music communities, making new music in 2026.
Steve Wood, the much-admired leader and drum keeper of
Northern Cree and his son Joel complete the music circle.
