Celebrating Five Years of Soundcheck
Since April 2002 Soundcheck has covered music from every conceivable style and genre. We've also seen "the end of the genre," as crossover artists, reinvented styles and truly unclassifiable bands have made their way to the studio. Today, a look at the breakdown of genre boundaries with Bill Bragin, director of Joe's Pub at the Public Theater, and Ryan Schreiber, the founding editor of Pitchfork Media. Also: live performances by the border-crossing wind quintet Imani Winds and Ethan Iverson, pianist of the jazz-rock trio The Bad Plus. Finally, we check out some unforgettable moments from Soundcheck's past.
