This week's best-selling CDs

Ten programmes giving Phil Broadhurst's perspective on the international recorded jazz scene

(10) Around the world in 60 minutes (RNZ)

Indigenous music from around the world

The Goat Rodeo Sessions - Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile

"A goat rodeo", quotes mandolinist extraordinaire Chris Thile, from the Urban Dictionary, "is about the most polite term used by aviation people to describe a scenario that requires about 100 things to go right at once if you intend to walk away from it"!

It's a fitting title for this album, given its somewhat complicated requirements: how to come up with original material for four string virtuosos from different disciplines (Thile, bassist Edgar Meyer, bluegrass musician Stuart Duncan and cellist Yo-Yo Ma)

But "the music kinda wrote itself," says Thile. "It was a matter of finding the centre of what all of us could do. Yo-Yo doesn't improvise, and Stuart doesn't really read music. So it was kind of easy given the boundaries we had - while also trying to make it sound like it didn't have any boundaries at all!" (Sony 789186)
