    Luminescent Orchestrii

    Roma and Romanian Roots

    Hear some frenzied Romanian gypsy punk from the New York-based Luminescent Orchestrii on this edition of New Sounds. Not willing to stop there, they can also rock the klezmer, bust out hip-hop beats and call upon Appalachian fiddle as well. We'll also listen to music from that "band of brigands," Taraf de Haïdouks, who come from the small Romanian Village Of Clejani, southwest of the capital city of Bucharest. They mix up Romanian folk tradition, both soul and speed, ranging from haunting heartland ballads to dizzying fiddle dances. Plus, there's Osvaldo Golijov's “Night of the Flying Horses," a slow dark viola lullaby that erupts into a fast gallop, boasting a theme that the composer proudly claims to have stolen from Taraf de Haïdouks. Throw in the globe-spanning music from the Kronos Quartet release Caravan, and that's a show. But there's probably even more!

    Hello,

    On your new web page format, I cannot find the old index of shows that you had. I am often good at not seeing things that are right in front of me, so maybe that has happened. Anyway, do you still have it? It made finding the topics of shows so easy.

    I love your show. I have bought many CD's from things that I have heard here.

    Thank you,

    Tim

    Hello,

    Thanks for a great show. When can we expect a Podcast for New Sounds?

    Thanks,

    Hi Amit, We are working hard on developing the much-requested New Sounds podcast. Gathering all of the requisite rights and clearances is a tricky business, but as soon as we have amassed enough of them to establish a regular podcast, we will start posting them on the website. Thanks for listening and stay tuned! Best, Caryn

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.
