Joy Sounds: Music You Need To Know

Episode 54: Bright Dog Red

Episode Summary

Bright Dog Red is making it up as they go. Literally. Bright Dog Red is a collective of adventurous musicians based in New York spearheaded by drummer, Joe Pignato, who perform and record all of their music through free improvisation. Although improvisation is at the center of Bright Dog Red, it’s not just jazz – you’ll also hear equal parts hip hop, electronica, psychedelia and noise influences as well. Bright Dog Red just released their new record, Somethin’ Comes Along, a 2 CD set that takes the listener on a journey through their spur-of-the-moment creativity. On today’s episode, we’ll talk to band members Joe Pignato and Eric Person, and hear three tracks off the new record: “Somethin’ Comes Along,” “Dagnabbit,” and “Sharper Than a Thumb Tack.” Follow Bright Dog Red @brightdogred pc: Zak Westbrook Films
