Examining the Pixies
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The Pixies' rise to critical fame in the late 1980s and wildly successful reunion tour have firmly established the band as an alternative rock legend. Music writer Ben Sisario breaks down their album "Doolittle" and explains why it was truly ahead of its time. Then, tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin discusses his work with The Dave Douglas Quintet. Plus, a conversation with artists from the "Look and Listen Festival", an event that celebrates the intersection of music and visual arts.
