    Almost Jazz

    For this New Sounds program, listen to some idiosyncratic almost-jazz from America, Australia, and beyond, including some new music by the Catholics. Led by Lloyd Swanton, the bass player for the instrumental trio The Necks, The Catholics are a jazz-leaning outfit, who on their latest, “Gondola,” combine jazz with influences from African, Eastern and Caribbean music with a little bit of atmospherics. Also, hear selections from “My Ears Are Bent,” the latest release from accordionist/keyboard player Ted Reichman, who has finally returned from a nomadic existence to choose New York as his home. The name of the record comes from a collection of writings and observations on New York City by Joseph Mitchell, and Reichman’s record aims to do the same, using music as the medium. And as always, 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.
