    Music from Italy

    Hear some works based on old Italian regional traditions on this edition of New Sounds. There’s music from the Neapolitan band Spaccanapoli, whose music is rooted in the traditions of the local working class, with its pulsing drums, passionate vocals and the wild dances of the Tarantella and Tammurriata. Also on the show is music from singer/percussionist/dancer/actress Alessandra Belloni. Her most recent material sounds like a blend of Brazilian accordion and percussion and Italian traditional singing. We’ll from Daniele Sepe as well. He’s an Italian saxophonist and composer based in Naples who mixes jazz, funk, and rock in his love songs, serenades, and protest songs, along with pizzicas and tarantellas. Not to be outdone, there’s music by the singer and sax player Enzo Avitabile based on 14th Century tradition of turning farm implements into musical instruments. And much more…

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.
