An hour of instrumentals, an hour of songs

(Summer at Shatter Creek)
The instrumentals are first, taking us from the moody electronics of "Chips" by Chib, to the acoustic drama of The Bad Plus performing The Pixies' "Velouria," and from Ensemble Modern playing "Revised Music for Low Budget Orchestra" by Frank Zappa, to young guitarist Kaki King banging musically on her instrument. Our songs offer drama and subtlety. The drama comes from three NYC-based singer/songwriters who stretch songs into new shapes: Amy Kohn; Yvette of Birdbrain; and Natalie LeBrecht of Greenpot Bluepot. The subtlety comes from Summer at Shatter Creek, a one-man band that crafts beauty from electric piano and voice. Plus a few songs from Sufjan Stevens' new release "Seven Swans."
