Unpopular Music - April 35, 2024

 Well here we posting a little bit later each moth. This month it's a sort of what-have-I-heard-lately program without any (intended) connecting theme As always I fail at trying to repeat certain artists too often. Here's Dave Holland again, and Bill Frisell sneaks in through a side door. All and all it's a mostly jazzy show, a couple of pop songs with outside influences thrown in. And if your the unlucky person who had "Chopin Etude" on their bingo card, well this program's for you.
