Is Bill Evans techno?
About this episode
This episode explores the connections between electronic music and jazz, featuring various new music releases.
Bill Evans might not be techno. But in this week's episode, the slow-building angst and tension of electronic producer Debit's new music reminded Ana of the beloved jazz piano master. And that kind of genre cross-pollination is everywhere in this week's showcase of new music: Brazilian field recordings remixed for the club, multiple reinterpretations of the Cuban guaguancó, and Spanish producers channeling -- as Ana puts it -- "experimental Boricua stuff." Featured artists and albums: (00:45) Various Artists, 'Candomblé: Sacred Rhythms in Brazil' (04:24) Ítallo, 'CATATAU' (11:25) Debit, 'Potpourri' (16:41) Calequi y Las Panteras, 'TRES' (21:07) Carolina Oliveros, 'Oye Camina' (24:35) BLAYA, 'Your lesbian neighbour is playing music next door' This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
