#2060: Program #2060

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
The multifaceted vocalist Sarah Pillow is equally at home in jazz settings like the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland; at avant-garde hotspots like the Kitchen and the Knitting Factory; and with the New York Philharmonic in its celebration of Stephen Sondheim’s 70th birthday. Her latest recording, "Nuove Musiche," is a rock-jazz-alternative album based on 17th-century melodies and texts, and features guitarist John Goodsall and bassist Percy Jones, founders of the progressive jazz-rock band Brand X. We hear excerpts from her recent visit to the WNYC studios.
