Episode #2237
The Minimalist Influence
Thursday, November 11, 2004
Minimalism just can't seem to sever its connection to rock and jazz, and on this edition of New Sounds, we'll hear the influence of minimalism as felt in the jazz world. Composer Joseph C. Phillips and his unique “jazz chamber” orchestra, Numinous, combine improvisation and unfolding textures of instrumental patterns to achieve catchy motifs that bring to mind music by Steve Reich. Plus hypnotic and lyrical musical patterns from composer/songwriter John Hodian, and world music with the group Other Music.
