Duration Show - Joshua Abrams, The Necks, Made to Break, etc.

Click the play button to listen

This week, I'm interested in exploring duration. 100 years ago this month, Louis Armstrong made his first recordings with King Joe Oliver. Those tracks were all 3 minutes or less—not a great vehicle for improvisation—but they made it work. Over time our ability to capture longer artistic expression increased, but attention spans vary. Tonight, we'll be spinning six tracks lasting between 15 and 20 minutes. Each artist using the time differently.
