Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for September 21, 2019

A real variety show for the last weekend of summer. Like last week, I try to keep both hours more equal in their freeness of form. We present a range of jazz-stylings An Americana set leads to an African and Africany set. Bach shows up again, along with some microtonal piano. A behind the scenes disaster is mostly kept from intruding on the proceedings.
