Gabriel Kahane stopped by the KCRW studios in Santa Monica to be a guest on Morning Becomes Eclectic today. He spoke with host Jason Bentley about his new album, Book of Travelers, and was joined by the Lyris Quartet to perform several songs from it—"Baedeker," "Baltimore," "8980," "Little Love"—as well as songs from his previous album, The Ambassador. You can listen to the complete session below.

Kahane performs at The Loft in La Jolla, California, tonight. He will be a guest on Live From Here with Chris Thile on Saturday, October 20, when the public radio show airs live on from The Fitzgerland Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. The other guests on the episode will be The War and Treaty and Negin Farsad, and Aoife O'Donovan will be Thile's duet partner. Kahane joins Andrew Bird and the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center at the end of the month and takes his own tour to Texas in early November. For details and tickets, see below or visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Book of Travelers was released on Nonesuch earlier this year. It is a musical travelogue about the looping railway journey across the US he embarked upon the day after the 2016 US election and the people he met along the way. "Exquisitely crafted," says Uncut. "Musically fascinating and hauntingly empathetic." "Extraordinary," says the San Francisco Chronicle; "vivid and wholly original." Rolling Stone calls it a "stunning portrait of a singular moment in America."

To pick up a copy of Book of Travelers, head to your local independent record store, Bandcamp, Amazon, and the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete album at checkout. Book of Travelers is also available to download on iTunes and to stream at Apple Music and Spotify

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
