Program #66
Even though the Armenian composer, mystic, and philosopher G.I. Gurdjieff died in 1949, his legacy lives on. On this New Sounds From the Vaults, first broadcast on May 29, 1986, John Schaefer assembled a collage of G. I. Gurdjieff’s music and the effects of his musical influence. Together with his disciple, the Russian composer Thomas deHartmann, Gurdjieff created several cycles of piano works. Hear some of these sophisticated piano compositions performed by Keith Jarrett, Alain Kremski, Herbert Henck, along with deHartmann’s performances on private tape. Also, listen to works inspired by this well-traveled guru, as in new music by composers Robert Fripp, David Hykes, and again Keith Jarrett.

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.
