Tonight's New Sounds takes in some serious fun from the new generation of big bands. Among them is downtown hipster combo Sex Mob, led by slide-trumpet whiz Steven Bernstein, and known for its fascinating live shows, where songs are torn down and reconstructed before your very eyes. No less inventive is the Brooklyn-based Slavic Soul Party, known for captivating downtown audiences with its foot-stomping, folk brass band music of Eastern Europe. We also visit Finland's Espoo Big Band, and Urban Sax, the veteran experimental band which numbers some 50 performers, including a female chorus, dancers, vibraphones and Tibetan gongs. And for something completely different: George Winston appears live in the studio performing music by the Doors.
