Program #2001
New Sounds surveys Europe's recent improvised music scene. Two of its practitioners have a rich history as jazz instrumentalists as well as composers who work in film music: French saxophonist and clarinetist Louis Sclavis, who is heard in his intoxicating Suite Africaine; and Italian composer and arranger Antonio Pizzimenti, who is represented by Atlante, a collection of pieces for keyboard and percussion which draw on an international smorgasbord of styles (Celtic, African, and Italian folk music, among others). We also hear bass innovator Eberhard Weber's Endless Days, an ECM CD featuring a bass/reeds/keyboards/drums combo that weaves haunting, hypnotic musical narratives that are elusive yet majestic in power.

Things With Strings
New Sounds
Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM

New Sounds Essentials: World Music
New Sounds
Airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
New Sounds presents another night of recommended recordings, this time in the “world music” vein. Hear selections by the Algeria-born and San Francisco-based DJ Cheb I Sabbah, Ethiopian soul singer Mahmoud Ahmed, and others.
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.
