For this episode, we welcome back Kevin Sur (Kānaka Maoli) and Tory J (Quinault), hosts of KEXP’s global Indigenous music show. They share the origins of their show name, Sounds of Survivance, and how the notion of survivance relates to the music they play and informs a way of being. They bring a mix of new releases from Indigenous artists pushing the boundaries of sound, from experimental electronic to soul to hardcore, then share a lesser known track from the 70s group that brought the hit “Come and Get Your Love.”

Finally, Music Director Chris Sanley shares a propulsive piece of futurist folk celebrating Black and Indigenous solidarity.

Songs featured:
Ghostkeeper - “Storm Chaser”
Ombiigizi  - “Connecting”  
Liv Rion - In My Way
Indian Giver - “Purity (feat. Wiidaaseh)” 
Redbone - “Alcatraz”
Jake Blount & Mali Obomsawin - "Live Humble” 

Listen to the full songs on KEXP's "In Our Headphones 2024" playlist on Spotify or the “What's In Our Headphones” playlist on YouTube.

Ahead of the 36th Annual Earshot Jazz Festival in Seattle, we chat with John Gilbreath, long-time host of KEXP’s Jazz Theatre. He spotlights a few of the artists playing – offering everything from an R&B-infused song to a meditative flute-led track – and closes out his set with a classic from the great “Ambassador of Jazz” and the story of how he fell in love with radio. The Earshot Jazz Festival runs from October 17th through November 3rd in various venues throughout Seattle. 

Our Associate Music Director Alex Ruder ends the episode with not one, but two tracks from a new Brussels-based group that he has on loop. 
Shabaka - “Breathing”
Afrocop - “Get In, Let’s Ride”
Wayne Shorter - “Footprints (Live)”
Dizzy Gillespie - “Theme from The Cool World”
Another Dancer - “How to, Slow" + "You Know Where I Start"
