Karen Mantler (collage)Karen Mantler
Karen Mantler creates rather complex songs about things that are important to her, such as her cat Arnold. She has also written about the death of her cat, and her "Pet Project" is a group of songs about her search through the animal kingdom for a new pet. This singular composer, lyricist, harmonica player, keyboardist, and arranger joins David Garland to present and talk about her music. Break in to Watt World Headquarters for more info about Karen Mantler's recordings, and those of her mother, composer Carla Bley. This show was first broadcast Feb. 2, 2001.

Not exactly jazz, not exactly pop. Every few years I reorganize my CD's (more like putting away the 400 CD's I haven't refiled since the last time I did a reorg), and I think I usually end up switching whatever section I have her in from the last time..
