It's American sounds on the latest episode of Extra Eclectic in honor of Thanksgiving. Host Steve Seel features Judd Greenstein's Four on the Floor, John Corigliano's Soliloquy for clarinet and John Adams' famous minimalist meditation, Shaker Loops. In the second hour, we’ll hear a tribute to the starry skies that herald the winter season, with star-themed pieces by John Luther Adams, Robert Morris and Stanley Grill.
