Hi all,

Here's what's on tap this week:

On tonight's Inside Track, get ready for some old-school Croatian dance tunes from Zdenka Kovacicek. We'll be hearing from her debut self-titled record, originally out in 1978, but recently reissued. One of the most accomplished and acclaimed Croatian musicians of the twentieth century, Zdenka sang with artists like The Kinks, the Ink Spots, and Bill Haley, before returning to Croatia and embarking on a unique career combining rock, pop, blues and jazz into her own funky brew. 

Monday's Outside Track will feature the wild improvisational performances of guitarist Tashi Dorji & drummer Tyler Damon on their collaborative debut, Both Will Escape. For anyone thinking this will sound like Dorji's past work, think again. This is a dense, explosive, and sometimes deafening performance from both musicians. The album shines in its dynamic structure, featuring a wide pallet of sounds and moving between contemplative soundscapes, rhythmic improvization, and free-form freak-outs. This album follows a stellar performance from the duo at Hopscotch 2016.
