    Paul Winter and the Sun Gong (Jeff Day)

    A Winter’s Tale

    New Age maestro Paul Winter joins us in the studio on the eve of his twenty-fifth annual Winter Solstice celebration. Held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the evening brings together jazz fusion with back-to-the-earth spiritualism that should stir even the most jaded soul. If that doesn’t, surely the effects will (a spinning Christmas tree, a gong player perched high in the air, a free-floating globe). Also visiting the studio will be Linda and Michael Hutcheon, to discuss their new book Opera: The Art of Dying.

Soundcheck

Soundcheck received an overwhelming response to our segment on the effects of urban noise. So much so that Arline Bronzaft decided to address the feedback. Listen to the original segment and read Bronzaft's response.
