Program #2071
Music for the anniversary of 9/11. (Subject to schedule change)
A program of music commemorating the anniversary of September 11, 2001 features an in-studio perormance by members of the The Roches, the trio of singing sisters known for their exquisite fusion of influences including church choir music, traditional Irish folk, contemporary folk, doowop, country, and pop. Jerome Kitzke's music celebrates American vitality in its purest forms, drawing upon the spirit of jazz, plains Indian song, and Beat Generation poetry. His talent for the dramatic and visceral is evident in a new piece commemorating Sept. 11. And poet/spoken-word performer Carl Hancock Rux, always known for his thrilling, provocative live performances, will be heard in his 2001 piece, Lamentations.

Away From Jazz
New Sounds
airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.
In Robert Moran's Kitchen
New Sounds
From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
