Raymond Scott Centennial
Sunday, September 07, 2008
Sept. 10th marks the centenary of Raymond Scott, inventor, musician, band-leader, and composer of unusual, joyful, jazzy pieces such as "Powerhouse," "Reckless Night on Board an Ocean Liner," and "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals." Spinning On Air has long championed Scott's music, and this show brings long-time listeners up to date on Scott discoveries and releases, or can serve as an introduction to the work of this one-of-a-kind pop experimentalist. Host David Garland is joined by Irwin Chusid, Director of The Raymond Scott Archives.
