#4959, Some Songs
Listen to a song from English musician, singer, and poet Benjamin Clementine along with a piano and vocal version of Peter Gabriel’s song, “Here Comes the Flood” from Robert Fripp’s Exposure. There’s also trio music from Anglo-Polish singer and composer, violinist and pianist Alice Zawadzki, together with long-term collaborators Fred Thomas (piano, drums, vielle) and Misha Mullov Abbado (double bass).
Listen to music, recorded in the studio from New York singer and pianist Ed Pastorini, whose eerie ballads and more aggressive works walk the line between popular song, art song, jazz, and improvisation. Then, hear Montréal’s Black Ox Orkestar, who connect current issues with the legacy of modernist Yiddish poetry and song. Plus, a song with swirling strings from Grenadian-Canadian musician Kaia Kater's latest album, Strange Medicine, along with a song by Anohni and the Johnsons, and more. - Caryn Havlik
