    The 2007 Listener Poll Show

    Here's the rebuttal to last night’s program where the listeners weigh in on the best new music releases of 2007. Thanks to all of the listeners who voted. We found that there were some hard-fought battles this year between a pianist, a string quartet, and a departed composer. Find out who emerged victorious from Smackdown 2007 on the 22nd annual New Sounds Listener Poll show.

PROGRAM #2754, the New Sounds Listener Poll 2007 (First aired on Thurday, 1/10/08)

    Enjoyed your show last night. Thanks. Was wondering if the list was posted anywhere? Specifically looking for John's #5 pick.

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.
