Nick Luscombe

Nick Luscombe's selection includes Holly Pester's alternative lullabies, plus new music from A Tribe Called Quest and Brazilian jazz ensemble Azymuth, and a Pete Seeger track.

Nick Luscombe presents a new collaboration between Holly Pester with musicians and sound artists exploring "lullabies as poetry, worksongs, spells and curses". Plus selections from the new A Tribe Called Quest album and Brazilian jazz from Azymuth. We'll also hear Pete Seeger recorded at Manchester's Free Trade Hall in 1964.

Produced by Joby Waldman for Reduced Listening.
