    Opening the Chamber Music

    The distinctive and riveting saxophonist Ornette Coleman (arguably the pioneer of the free jazz movement), continuously defies categorization. On this New Sounds, we'll hear from his latest original, innovative, and groundbreaking release called "Sound Grammar," the first in over 10 years. Also, we'll sample some small ensemble works from Nico Muhly, who toes the lines between folktronica, pop, chamber, and minimalism on his release "Speaks Volumes." Plus, chamber music from a duo with inspirational roots in Argentinean traditions from bandoneon giant Dino Saluzzi and German cellist Anja Lechner. And much more.

Things With Strings

New Sounds

New Sounds Essentials: World Music

New Sounds

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.
