It’s almost a theme and variations edition of New Sounds, taking John Dowland’s “Flow My Tears” as a starting point and playing on the theme of tears and melancholy. Hear mostly instrumental works based on Dowland’s “Lachrimae” pieces, the best known of which is probably "Flow my Tears," - and it eventually had words. There’s multiple moods and variations on tears from Austrian trombonist Christian Muthspiel and an all-star quartet of musicians who “are at home in the worlds of both composed music as well as improvisation and jazz.” Then, from the latest June Tabor record, listen to a solo piano take, “Teares,” by Welsh jazz pianist and composer Huw Warren, co-leader and founder of the jazz quartet Perfect Houseplants. Plus, hear from the electroacoustic duo A Winged Victory for the Sullen, a collaboration between Stars Of The Lid founder Adam Wiltzie and L.A. composer Dustin O’Halloran, and more.
