#2684: May 2007 New Releases

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

It's the most wonderful time of the month - new releases! On this New Sounds program, listen to the pick of the piles. There'll be new music by the Tord Gustavsen Trio, another Norwegian outfit called In the Country, and with any luck, a selection or two from Real Quiet, playing the winning works of Marc Mellits, among others. We'll also hear something from the self-dubbed "Michael Hedges of Montreal," Erik Mongrain. Plus, trombone master Roswell Rudd & Jimi Hendrix of the cuatro Yomo Toro team up for some tango action. And more.
