    Program #2029

    The Swiss-born singer, Susanne Abbuehl, made her ECM debut with "April," a collection of elliptical treatments of e.e. cummings's poetry alongside doleful arrangements of tunes by Carla Bley. Backed by piano, clarinet, and drums, Abbuehl offers a sound that is both melancholic and romantic, displaying a crystalline diction and wistful delivery. Hear selections from this recent album, as well as a gem ("Sun In My Mouth") from Björk's Vespertine.

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.

Robert Moran

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.
