NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: Black Dub

At the NPR Music offices, Trixie Whitley and Daniel Lanois brought a variety of instrumental backing, including an electronic bed for the single "I Believe in You," only to ditch many of the accoutrements on the fly. The result is a gripping and revealing performance.

Set List:
"Surely"
"Silverado"
"I Believe In You"
"I'd Rather Go Blind"

NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: Esperanza Spalding

The bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding conceived of Chamber Music Society as an intimate experience, a close musical exchange between a small group of friends. If it was intimacy she wanted, she got her wish: Performing three songs in the constraints of Bob Boilen's workspace ensures that all of her supporting players were nice and cozy.

Set List:

"Little Fly"
"Midnight Sun"
"Apple Blossom"
