Friday, November 14th, 2003 ... 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. ... KZSU, 90.1 FM

Included an hour of solo piano, between the 44-minute Cecil Taylor track and the Veryan Weston piece. Seemed like appropriate rainy-day fare.

Format:
ARTIST: ALBUM TITLE (LABEL, YEAR) ... TRACKS

* Andrew Hill -- "Passing Ships" -- Passing Ships (Blue Note, 2003; recorded 1969)

* Veryan Weston -- "Scales 7-12" -- Tesselations (for Lutheal piano) (Emanem, 2003)

The "lutheal" is an apparatus that's placed over a grand piano. The musician can, on the fly, adjust it to different settings to produce different sounds, making the piano sound like a harpsichord or a heliumized toy. Cool stuff.
