    Eastern European Roots

    There's music by the Klezmatics on this installment of New Sounds. These “possessed Jews with horns” have been making their crazy, spiritual, reflective, and danceable Yiddish party music since the late 1980’s. Tonight, hear tunes from their recent record, “Rise Up!”, a somewhat moody opus with lots of traditional sources, which at times, feels like eavesdropping on religious services. Selections by Les Yeux Noirs and Tarafs de Haidouks round out this program of music with Eastern European roots.

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.
