Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

'new traditions in world music'
Another artist owned and operated label from New York, Jumbie records skirts a lot of boundaries in the quest for an original, yet somehow deeply rooted, musical sound. Ties are found between west Africa, the Appalachian Mountains, Hungarian and Roma roots, hard jazz, bebop and a host of other ideologies. Truly original in both concept and delivery.
Jump for George - Imaginary Homeland
$15.99
(cdRoots# jum-02)
This is one of those 'what can you say?' sort of recordings. Composer, saxophonist, and percussionist David Rogers, percussionist Mark Stone, violinist Marlene Rice and funky bassist Matt Pavolka have found the non-existant link between Appalachian string bands, Ghanian percussion, downtown jazz and host of other unrelated ideas that miraculously fit together as if they had the deepest of ethnomusical roots.
..in Concert - Bernard Woma
$15.99
(cdRoots# jum-01)
Master Ghanaian xylophonist Bernard Woma captivates audiences through his performance of traditional Dagara Gyil music and inventive original compositions. A highly energetic and virtuosic live performance together with Mark Stone (percussion) and Kofi Ameyaw (xylophone, percussion).
New Destiny - Dallam-Dougou
$15.99
(cdRoots# jum-03)
A unique ensemble of African and European-American musicians, who merge the dougou (place) of west African with the dallam (melody) of Hungary to create a new musical sound completely imaginary and completely original.
