On today's Global Notes, we encounter the zurla, a wooden horn with a big sound. Local musician Blagoj Lamnjov plays some folk songs on this one-of-a-kind Balkan wind instrument.
Local band JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound has been making its mark around the world lately. Eight Forty-Eight spoke with band members about their sound and how soul and other forms of music inspire them.
The members of local band Implodes obviously play music together but they have a number of other things in common: Three of them hail from Pittsburgh and three of them work together at Reckless Records in Lakeview.
