It sometimes seems that there's not an abundance of great instrumental recordings around today. It takes quite a bit more talent and compositional ability to construct a recording that's varied and interesting; the project should be a cohesive creation and not just a series of jams. We'll share some tunes from Richard Thompson, The Rebirth Brass Band, Cindy Kallet & Grey Larsen along with a few surprises. Send the singer home … this week (and next) on The Sing Out!
