They say that most people don't listen to new music after the age of 35. Such a pity when there is a lot of exciting new music being released now. Tonight Sister T will be previewing the latest offering from drummer/producer Makaya McCraven `Pop Up Shop' releasing at the end of October. You'll also hear interesting new recordings from the debut album from Grammy award winning saxman Venna, UK keyboard player Alfa Mist, an upcoming release from Brooklyn based multi-instrumentalist and composer Cochemea and Melbourne based vocalist Rita Satch among others. Later in the program relax with a couple of tracks from German trumpeter Till Bronner from his new album `Italia', as well as a tune from another great trumpeter Herb Alpert and Boss Nova from Airto Moreira and Bossa Nostra. Some old favorites, Roy Ayers, Step It Up, GOTAN PROJECT Official and Move '78 are also on the playlist!
