Abrahamic Music
For this New Sounds, listen to music that celebrates the common roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Listen to a tune called Children of Abraham, and perhaps some more soul-bop-klezmer-boogie from Paul Shapiro, from a recent record called “It's in the Twilight.” There’s also music from Osvaldo Golijov’s latest, “Ayre” – an ingenious cycle of prayers, folk songs and lullabies which crosses Christian, Jewish, and Arab cultures. Hear harmonic chanting by David Hykes incorporating sacred words common to Christianity, Judaism and Islam based on the art of those three religions. Rounding out the show is musical mix of Moorish, Sephardic songs, Indian gypsy and Flamenco musical styles by Juan Martin.

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.

John;
This playlist was metropolitan in a big religious way. Once again music proved that has no bound nor boundaries. Thanks John for the WISDOM.
Cheers.

John, I loved you last comment, that with just a few turns the melody could embrace all three Abrahamic traditions. Would that the world could sing that tune--we'd all be in tune again.
