The OTL Show (05/05/2025)

Soho Radio • May 5, 2025

Ben Watson presents a new kind of music where commitment to – and consistency of – rhythmic gesture replaces the harmonic architecture of baroque instrumentation … and interleaves it with hot tracks by Iggy Pop, Charles Mingus, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lee Lewis and Frank Zappa.
