Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for May 18, 2019

A variety show for you today on this lovely afternoon in Somerville. A jazzy first hour, with some more contemporary (classical and otherwise) in the second, featuring some crazy piano music, some crazy piano music transcribed for barrel organ, an excerpt from a banjo concerto, some minimalism-meets-math-rock-meets-jazz and more. Several of the Unpopular Music All-Stars are also heard from.



See the playlist after the break...
