Rick Rees, Michael Hoberman, Carrie and Michael Kline created this radio piece in 1993 for WFCR, Public Radio of Western New England. Michael Kline recorded the interviews and musical sessions that make up this production while serving as folklorist for the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society. With funding the Mass Foundation for the Humanities, we were required to write and read a somewhat analytical-sounding narration that follows an otherwise seamless flow of voices and music, as newer and older groups of immigrants discuss and play examples of a living, changing music, carried from other lands, preserved and evolved in the Connecticut River Valley.

No Chordtet’s self-titled debut recording was featured on Jazz After Hours, the nationally syndicated NPR radio show, as well as Tom Reney’s Jazz Alamode on WFCR, among others. The ensemble performs original compositions as well as works of other composers, and does not use a chordal instrument to outline the harmonic material, but rather the bass and horns serve this function.The group’s members are Dave Santoro bass, Tom Melito drums, Peter McEachern trombone and George Sovak saxophones.  "Subconscious Love is open to any number of interpretations but I think it is best to leave it up to the listener to experience their own personal meaning.
