#2491: December 2005 New Releases

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

John Schaefer once again picks through the bucketloads of CDs that have flooded his office to find a sampling of new releases worthy of showcasing on this New Sounds program. There's new music from Frank London’s Klezmer Brass All-Stars, along with goofy video-game-esque accordion music from the Motion Trio. Also, listen to a tune by Randy Newman from a new compilation released to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Plus, something from the new Congotronics II record, and more.
