  • #2904: Big Band Nu-Jazz

    For this New Sounds, we’ll hear some instrumental post-rock-infused jazz from the Jacob Fred Jazz Orchestra – with areas of both electronic soundscapes and futurist hip hop.  There’s also backwoods jazz with a bit of heavy slop from Fight the Big Bull.   Plus, listen to cuts from the classic “Voice of Chunk” from the Lounge Lizards, and music from a Buffalo, NY-based group David Kane’s Them Jazz Beards.  And much more.
