#2381: February New Releases

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

It's that time of the month again for the new releases show on New Sounds. John Schaefer carefully sorts through the stacks, bins, and boatloads of new CDs which have come across his desk over the past month to present some of the choice cuts. There's music from north of the border with a selection from Canadian "minimalist" Ann Southam, and a tune by the Montreal-based trio Saccade. Also hear the latest from the Mediterranean singer Savina Yannatou, along with music for the masses by Trygve Seim and Brooklyn's own Hungry March Band.
