Following the first three videos by Mary Halvorson, Timo Andres, and Vagabon, pianist/composer Tigran Hamasyan—whose latest album, StandArt, was released on Nonesuch in 2022 and is currently touring the US—stopped by and chose music by Brad Mehldau Trio, Richard Goode, Pat Metheny & Brad Mehldau, Kronos Quartet, and Fleet Foxes.

    Robert Plant and Saving Grace release a vinyl EP, Saving Grace: All That Glitters..., this Saturday for Record Store Day, the annual celebration of independent record stores. The record follows Plant's recent critically acclaimed album, Saving Grace; both feature singer Suzi Dian and a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant—this year's Record Store Day Legend—calls home. The EP's four tracks, recently recorded especially for RSD, explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes "The Blackest Crow" and "Two Coats," arranged by Robert Plant and Saving Grace, as well as Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl" and Bert Jansch's "Poison."
