Jarvis Cocker & Rufus Wainwright join Kronos Quartet for Moondog salute

Kronos Quartet & Ghost Train Orchestra's tribute album Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog is out now.

Here's the scoop...

On "Songs and Symphoniques: The Music of Moondog," Ghost Train Orchestra teams up with the trailblazing Kronos Quartet to celebrate and reimagine the music of Louis Hardin, aka Moondog, the ground-breaking composer and poet who lived on the streets of New York City in the 50s and 60s, and influenced the minimalists Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley. A blind composer who moved from Kansas to New York City and built his own instruments and mythology, Moondog's story and music continue to be an inspiration to many. 

Along with guests Sam Amidon, Jarvis Cocker, Petra Haden, Karen Mantler, Marissa Nadler, Aoife O'Donovan, Rufus Wainwright and Joan Wasser, the two groups explore Moondog's sense of whimsy, wonder and adventure through a cross-section of songs and instrumentals for large ensemble, string ensemble, percussion and voice. 

The vinyl and CD packages include an essay by biographer Robert Scotto, Moondog's song lyrics, extensive in-studio photographs by Dan Efram, and an interview with Kronos Quartet founder David Harrington and Ghost Train Orchestra founder Brian Carpenter, mediated by music historian Irwin Chusid.

James Blake, Hypnotic Brass, Marissa Nadler, Cass McCombs returning to T.O.

Along with a number of exciting summer concert announcements this week for James Blake (yes, the  post-dubstep Brit hotshot is already coming back to Toronto for a Phoenix gig in September), the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Jolie Holland, Marissa Nadler, Cass McCombs, there were a few tentatively scheduled shows we thought you should know about. When it comes to quick sellout events like say for example Peter Bjorn and John doing a two-night stand at a relatively intimate venue like Lee's Palace, you want to find out when those shows are happening before tickets go on sale. Read all about it in The Perlich Post's Early Warning listings.
