#2541: April 2006 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. Perhaps we'll hear music featuring a percussion instrument called The Hang (pronounced "hung" - it's Bernese), along with some music for shamisen by the Yoshida Brothers. Also, not-exactly-jazz from a new label called Skirl and new material from Susana Baca are toward the top of the stacks on the desk. And possibly lots more that we can't see...
