Listen "minimal tendencies"
Episode Synopsis
On my list of the greatest recordings ever made you'll find the 1978 ECM records release of Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians. It blew me away when I heard it for the first time. I've been a fan of minimal classical music ever since.
I have a ton of Steve Reich and Philip Glass music in my collection. Recently I discovered a 2010 recording of Philip Glass music by the Delta Saxophone Quartet called Minimal Tendencies. It's an excellent album and it got me thinking about a minimal mix. So I stole the title of their album and started the mix with one of their tracks.
