#3819: David Bowie, A Tribute
Listen to an hour of music to mark the passing of the legendary David Bowie. This man who fell to earth, a multi-instrumentalist who imaginatively experimented with countless sounds and styles, influenced generations of musicians and music-lovers, created many remarkable characters/alter egos, and eloquently put words to music while doing so - left the planet on Sunday, January 10,, 2016. It was but days after his 69th birthday and the release of what was intended to be his swan song – “Blackstar.”
Hear the more "experimental" side of Bowie's body of work for this New Sounds, along with works based on Bowie's songs by Philip Glass.
