Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour 480
Gaea Star Crystal Radio #480 is a series of visionary improvised songs and pieces played live by the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, schruti box, ukuleles and percussion, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas. Recorded at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early March of 2022, today’s show begins with the striking, powerful “All Hail”, a spiritually rich and deeply evocative song with a fine vocal from Mariam. “I Am Alive” is a Native meditation dedicated to the people of Ukraine and “Keep On”/”Free To Be” grow from the extended coda, flowering into gorgeous movements of their own. “Underneath The Clouds” is a bluesy ode to a blustery day with a mesmerizing ragtime piano part from Bob. We finish today with a take of Mariam’s beautiful “Into The Mystery” an evocative song from the “For The Children” album.
