#2312: North, South, East, West

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
New Sounds faces the music in all directions, North, South, East, and West on this program. Hear music by German guitarist Andreas Willers with Canadian pianist Paul Bley, from the release, "In the North," an improv tribute to reed player Jimmy Giuffre. Also, selections from "Which Way Is East," the double CD collection of spontaneous duets by saxophonist Charles Lloyd and the late percussionist Billy Higgins. Higgins plays drumkit, but also sings blues, sambas and African music with his guitar, and together the two of them make a kind of free-improvised world-music. Plus, directional works from Ennio Morricone (the West) and Dino Saluzzi's quartet (The South).
