#2615: Tin Hat, the Quintet

On this New Sounds, we dip into Tin Hat's “The Sad Machinery of Spring." The Tin Hat Trio has contracted (founding member Rob Burger left in 2004) and expanded again (its new members are Ben Goldberg, Zeena Parkins, and Ara Anderson) to become Tin Hat, a quintet that lives somewhere between composition and improvisation with one foot in jazz, and another in classical. Their latest record is inspired by the work of Bruno Schulz, a Polish-Jewish novelist and graphic artist whose life was cut tragically short in 1942. Also on the show, hear works by cellist/composer Erik Friedlander, from his record, “Prowl” - an adventure into the territory between improvised and classical music. Plus, small ensemble music by the Ben Goldberg Quintet, Carter Burwell, and more.
