New Sounds looks to the jazz masters who have faced east and drifted up for this program. From John Coltrane and those who came after him, all the way out to Sun Ra, we'll explore the sense of transcendence in jazz and those who take a cosmic spiritual approach.
We'll hear from sax player and composer Pharoah Sanders, and a piece called "The Creator Has a Master Plan," from the late 1960's. From American pianist and composer Randy Weston, who drifts to China and incorporates the sound of the pipa. Plus, an interpretation of Sun Ra's music from the Respect Sextet. And more.

Very nice set, John. Every time I hear "The Creator Has a Master Plan" on the radio, it stops me cold -- I just sit in awe all the way through it.
