Khanda Blues

from What are the Odds? by Dennis Winge

about

I suppose now is a good time to tell you about Konnakol, the South Indian counting language for music. I have been studying it a few years now, and to say there are so many things you can do with it is a total understatement. “Khanda” is the word for 5, and you’ll notice it has a very different feel from a more ‘Western’ 5/4 groove such as Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five.” The feel is “ta-ge--,ta-ge--” or two sets of 5 eights notes per bar, where the first and third of each set of 5 are accented. Nice job Michele Gordon did on flute on this one, also recorded in a single take.
