Music

With Michael Schell

Creative and improvised music from the Northwest and around the world with host Michael Schell. Seattle’s finest and longest-running radio program devoted to the musical avant-garde.

The KBCS zeitgeist

Celebrate KBCS’s 50th birthday with a look back on the March 1973 zeitgeist that gave us student sit-ins at Bellevue Community College, as well as landmark albums by Stockhausen (with his own take on radio nostalgia), Frank Zappa (with an incipient R&B superstar lurking in the background) and Keith Jarrett (with one last nod to the avant-garde as he launched his solo career). We observe the influence of these three in new and forthcoming releases by Alex Paxton, Miriodor, Genoël von Lilienstern and Mirela Ivičević.

Lao Dan brings his bamboo flute to a gig with one of the OGs of Japanese free improv, Sabu Toyozumi, while the Jim Black Quartet explores John Zorn's contributions to the bagatelle form. Scott Robinson practices circular breathing beneath Matt Shipp’s strident chords in the new East Axis album, while Korean pansori and European lieder combine in EunHo Chang’s Sensational Bliss project, putting an exclamation point on this far-reaching lineup.
