Program #2312
New Sounds faces the music in all directions, North, South, East, and West on this program. Hear music by German guitarist Andreas Willers with Canadian pianist Paul Bley, from the release, "In the North," an improv tribute to reed player Jimmy Giuffre. Also, selections from "Which Way Is East," the double CD collection of spontaneous duets by saxophonist Charles Lloyd and the late percussionist Billy Higgins. Higgins plays drumkit, but also sings blues, sambas and African music with his guitar, and together the two of them make a kind of free-improvised world-music. Plus, directional works from Ennio Morricone (the West) and Dino Saluzzi's quartet (The South).

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.
