Experimental Explorations with Bengt Berger

Stuart revisits the Swedish musician's stunning ethno jazz album from 1981, Bitter Funeral Beer. Plus, music from Richard Dawson, Laurie Anderson, Tirzah, John Cage and more.

Stuart revisits the pioneering Swedish ethnomusicologist, drummer, and composer's stunning ethno jazz album from 1981, Bitter Funeral Beer. Inspired by the music of Ghana, it was one of the first ever records to introduce Western listeners to the music of West Africa and features Don Cherry on trumpet. The cult treasure is a compelling and haunting mix of slow world music, frantic percussion and avant-garde jazz.

Plus, music from the likes of Richard Dawson, Jerusalmem In My Heart, Laurie Anderson, Hudson Mohawke, Tirzah, John Cage and the most experimental track we've ever played on Freak Zone. Buckle up!
