It's the most wonderful tiiiiiime of the month: New Releases.  Experience the pick of the piles, and the very best in digital promos on this New Sounds program.  There's new music from finger-style guitarist William Tyler, from his latest record, "Impossible Truth," along with acoustic folk and "systems music" from the English quartet, Spiro.  Also, listen to something from pianist Matthew Shipp, and a dance score from the composer/saxophone player Ken Field.  Plus, new music from Alexander Berne and the Abandoned Orchestra.  And more. 

For this New Sounds program, sample a globetrotting set of acoustic music with guitar as the starting point.  There’s music by Stephane Wrembel, who visits everything from blues to flamenco to rock on his record “Origins.”  Listen next to South African guitarist Derek Gripper, who has also studied and mastered the kora, the instrument of the Malian griot.
