The Signal: 2.21.14

Sean Beier, Shebooks, Full Circle Dance Company, and "Like Father, Like Son"...

 
  Sean Beier pays is a visit with a bounty of new material – four albums worth.  Three of the discs capture the lush, live sound of Beier’s down-tempo jazz trio, Steady Pleasures.  The fourth is a fascinating, idiosyncratic solo project created entirely on an iPhone.  Beier joins Aaron Henkin for a tour through the new music.  (You'll find Beier's' new CDs here and details on his Feb 26 show at the Parlor here.)

 

Lisa Morgan talks with Marion Winik and Jessica Anya Blau, two Baltimore authors who are featured on Shebooks, a new e-publisher of short works by women writers.
