Guest host Julie Burstein visits with members of the chamber jazz group Tin Hat Trio, who will perform music from their latest album Book of Silk, which features the violin, accordion, and guitar traipsing through gauzy soundscapes and textural ghost stories. The New York Press has said the Trio interweaves “Old World Europe with postmodern America, south-of-the-border sensuality with concert-hall propriety, and odd-metered syncopation with deeply soulful grooves.” Later we’ll speak with choreographer Sean Curran and music theater composer Ricky Ian Gordon, whose latest collaboration will be performed at Jacob’s Pillow, the Berkshires-based dance festival later this month.
