Wooden Wand (David Garland/WNYC)Wooden Wand
A few months ago on Spinning On Air the band Wooden Wand And The Vanishing Voice gave what the band themselves consider one of their best performances. Their music swirled and flowed in long colorful improvisations around a few songs. This time Wooden Wand returns without the band, and his songwriting is the focus of his in-studio performance, as he sings and plays, along with vocalist Jessica Toth. Wand's songs are generous and sardonic, perceptive and surrealistic, surprising, biting, and very tuneful. He's a prolific writer, offering several new songs in this session, and he talks about his work with host David Garland.
