01-15-26 Gaea Star Crystal Radio #652 is an hour of visionary acoustic improvised music played live by The Gaea Star Band with Miriam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Tibetan bowls, acoustic guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded a Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the spacious, stately and prayerful “I Am Light”, a harmonically sophisticated chant with a fine vocal and soaring Native flute from that weaves through blues, jazz and gospel spaces with a focused ensemble. “”Let’s Humble Ourselves” is a gorgeous little folk air featuring Miriam’s chiming, alive soprano ukulele supporting her dreamy, narrative vocal while Bob weaves a sophisticated little harmonic framework over Craig’s steady, skipping congas. “Every Day Is Brand New With The Breath Of Life Running Through” arrives like a cloud across the sun, darkling and mysterious with eldritch forest mandolin from Miriam over throbbing Native drum and dancing piano and “Happy New Year” is a fine rock workout with a tight vibe and a fine, exploratory vocal from Miriam and we finish today’s hour with driving, focused versions of three of Miriam’s finest songs, “Rail”, “Solare” and the driving, bluesy “Standing Ones Of Peace”.
