New Sounds

Ethel Johnson (WNYC)
Ethel performs Scott Johnson's "How It Happens" (WNYC)

Electric Ethel

Show #2364

Monday, January 10, 2005

From the New Sounds Live Concert Series, we present the second half of last fall’s sociopolitical blowout show. The electric string quartet Ethel plays music from Scott Johnson’s work “How It Happens,” built around the unexpected melodic shapes of the taped voice of I. F. Stone. Also, Phil Kline’s “Funeral of Jan Palach” performed by the Zippo Band (violinist Todd Reynolds, percussionist David Cossin, vocal improv by Theo Bleckmann, and the composer himself on guitars.)
