Melting World: A Journey Through Fusion

acradio — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 07:31:17 -0400

This Sunday from 12–5 a.m., Melting World takes a mind-melting journey through the genre known as fusion.

Emerging in the late 1960s, fusion brought electric instruments, rock rhythms and studio experimentation into jazz. Over time, the genre expanded even further, drawing composers, musicians and sounds from across the musical spectrum.

We’ll explore the beginnings and evolution of this largely instrumental, virtuoso music with selections from Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, Bill Laswell & Tony Williams, Matteo Mancuso, Jonas Hellborg & Shawn Lane, Brand X, David Torn, Jean-Luc Ponty, TEAR, PAKT and many more.

Then, during the Cosmic Hour, we’ll present Bang on a Can’s reimagining of Terry Riley’s landmark minimalist work, In C.

Tune in Sunday at 12 a.m. through 5 a.m., only on WUSB.

Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery on Captain Phil's Planet

acradio — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 10:11:19 -0400

This Thursday at 4 p.m., join Captain Phil’s Planet for a special conversation with Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery as they preview their new collaborative album, The Roaring Waves.

Eight years in the making, the album brings the two acclaimed guitarists together for something Hackett describes as less traditionally progressive and more “cinematic” and atmospheric.

The project came together gradually between touring and other commitments, with sessions at the Racket Club and their home studios. Rothery describes the process as refreshingly old-school—two friends getting together, playing and seeing where the music takes them.
