Contemporary Classics April 29, 2025 Robert Dillion of Third Coast Percussion

Tonight on Contemporary Classics I have back percussionist Robert Dillion of the Chicago based Third Coast Percussion.  Third Coast Percussion is celebrating their 20th anniversary as an ensemble. And they have released a new album - their third release of this year - entitled Standard Stoppages  two weeks ago Friday on April 11th on Cedille (Say-dee).  This follows the January release of their recording of Philip Glass’ Aguas da Amazonia and in February the single of the late Zakir Hussain’s Murmurs in Time featuring tabla player Zakir Hussain which appears on this album.
