Hear the trombone, sometimes by itself, sometimes in a world music setting, sometimes with electronics, and for a mass of 77 trombones, for this New Sounds show. There's music from a recent record, "The Incredible Honk" by the exceptional trombonist/composer Roswell Rudd, with many notable collaborations. Listen to Roswell Rudd together with the Cajun legends Michael Doucet & Beausoleil, featuring singer Emily Haines (Metric), as well as a work with Malian maestro Bassekou Kouyate, and several Malian musicians.
Hear music from the Danish trombone wizard Niels-Ole Bo Johansen, from a record for trombone and electronics. Also, from the "Cistern Chapel", listen to music recorded in a water tank close to Seattle, by Stuart Dempster and his trombone students. The place has a natural reverberation of 45 seconds. Together with conches, dijderidu, and Tibetan cymbals, these amassed nine trombones create unique drone-driven soundscapes. Plus, listen to the "Mass for Massed Trombones" -77 of them- by Wendy Mae Chambers, and more.
