    Program #1911

    New Sounds takes a listen to Klezmer influenced music on this episode. Kroke is a klezmer band from Kraków, Poland. Their CD, The Sounds of the Vanishing World features song titles like "Earth," "Air", "Time," and "Dance," reflecting a concern with and social issues. Also, trumpeter, bandleader and composer Dave Douglas presents a strange and compelling mix of tango, Eastern European folk, and klezmer, all in the framework of the New York downtown jazz scene. Highlighting his disc, A Thousand Evenings, is "The Branches, Pt. 2," featuring accordion player Guy Klucevsek.

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.
