#3215: Americana Infusion
Drummer Dave King (he of the Bad Plus) is also a pianist who leads the Dave King Trucking Company - what he calls his "Americana project." It's rock-based jazz married to traditional American folk music, or at least classic Nashville sounds of the '60s and '70s. We'll sample some of this record - "Good Old Light" on this New Sounds.
Plus, there's also music from like-minded ensembles, with something from pipa player Wu Man and her Appalachian friends, along with music by Moondog. Also, listen for music from Bill Frisell, and something from the Tin Hat Trio, as a tribute to Bill Frisell.
