New and Old.....

Some interesting selections tonight. We start off with new material from a band of the current generation, material that dares to explore new territory, and which establishes this band, I think, as an entity worth watching in coming years. We then take a look at a classic, Zeppelin at their most progressive, probing their abilities as songwriters and musicians, taking their music in interesting and thoughtful directions..

Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).

For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
