New things from Sylvie Courvoisier, Caroline Shaw, Anna Webber, Ge Gan-ru and Ambrose Akinmusire take the spotlight in this podcast, along with a tribute to Northwest icon Wally Shoup. Seattle Symphony plays Saariaho, Elliott Sharp plays a mandocello, and Steve Layton explores his avian side. Augusta Read Thomas channels Schumann while Scott Fields channels Bach and Haydn. And we enlist our old favorites Sun Ra, Frank Zappa and Iannis Xenakis to help kick off KBCS's Fall Fund Drive while we celebrate a few golden anniversaries together. Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell, from 91.3 KBCS HD1 Bellevue/Seattle/Tacoma.
