For this New Sounds program, listen to the blistering horns of party bands from the world over. There’s Afro-pop from veteran of Ghanaian highlife Ebo Taylor and his German band, featuring the godfather of Afro-beat drumming, Tony Allen. Hopefully we'll hear something from the marching band madness that is the Chicago-based outfit Mucca Pazza (P.S. - you HAVE to check their outfits when they perform!), Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars, some Ethiojazz, and maybe something from Lester Bowie’s Brass Fantasy.
Also hear music from former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra, multi-instrumentalist Kelan Philip Cohran, together with the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Cohran founded the Affro‐Arts Theater, taught music in schools and in prison, and raised a large family - eight of his children are members of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble!

New Music for Trumpet
Listen to a bit of new music for trumpet and electronics by Nils Petter Molvaer, from his latest, “Baboon Moon,” on this New Sounds program. There’s also music from a lovely collaboration record between a Senegalese singer/kora player Ablaye Cissoko and German-born trumpeter Volker Goetze, a late-night gem combining West African music and ethereal, atmospheric European jazz.

I was hoping to listen to the May 4 show via the archives but there doesn't seem to be any audio for this episode...or am I missing something here?
Great show! Great selection!
