New roots-punk from The Devil Makes Three.

This time, it's a first appearance for our in-studio guests The Devil Makes Three. Although they've been a band since 2002, DM3's Cooper McBean, Pete Bernhard and Lucia Turino haven't done much touring outside of their west coast base. But things have changed since the re-issue of their self-titled debut (Milan, 2007), and The Devil Makes Three tells us the story!

A shot of jazz this week on Acoustic Cafe from one of the best... legendary vocalist Norma Winstone and her trio!

Norma Winstone was on the cutting edge of the London jazz scene in the 60s and 70s, and remains there today. Her new trio with Glauco Vernier and Klaus Gesing is very different from her groundbreaking trio Azimuth, as Norma continues to push the boundaries. This week's Acoustic Cafe features songs from Norma's new record "Distances," as well as a new, unreleased composition!
