Javed Bashir & Sondre BratlandA World of Prayer
Hear the convergence of Christian and Muslim holy texts on this edition of New Sounds. Norwegian folksinger Sondre Bratland and renowned Qawwali singer Javed Bashir perform psalms and hymns together from their different religious traditions both in mosques in Pakistan, and in two Norwegian churches. From a new CD called “Dialogue,” listen to their two voices, with nothing more than a hand drum as accompaniment. Also, hear Moroccan songs from the mixed Hebrew/Arab tradition of the piyyout from Rabbi Haim Louk, Sufi music from the Ottoman Empire by the Kudsi Erguner Ensemble, and 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.
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.
