The Guest List
Thursday February 2nd, 2023 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Sarah Neufeld (Ottawa Winter Jazz Fest on Feb. 4) and Andrea Ramolo (Redbird Live on Feb. 3)
Note: If you listened to the FM version of the show today, we had to shorten the interviews and cut some of the musical pieces to fit into the 60 minute format allowed for the broadcast version of the Guest List. You can hear more interview segments and more musical pieces (including an incredible Rival Consoles remix of Sarah's piece "The Top") here as part of the On Demand version of the program.
Sarah Neufeld is the incredible violinist who co-founded the Bell Orchestre and records and performs with Arcade Fire. She has released several amazing albums as a solo artist, including her latest album Detritus. As Sarah explains in this interview, this music was created for a dance piece choreographed and produced by Peggy Baker. You can see Sarah performing live on Saturday (Feb. 4th) at the Arts Court Theatre as part of the Winter Jazz Fest produced by the Ottawa Jazz Festival.

Then we check in with Andrea Ramolo. She is appearing at Red Bird Live with Patrick Krief (of the Dears) on Friday night (Feb. 3rd.) We talk to Andrea about the beautiful, textured sound production on her album Quarantine Dream and how that affected the mood of the recording. She also tells us about the powerful song Free and how she recorded it with Kinnie Starr.
