Laurie Anderson will be among the jury members for the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, which begins next Thursday, January 24, and runs through February 3 in Park City, Salt Lake City, and Sundance, Utah. She will serve as a jury of one for the NEXT Innovator's Award. Jury members in the festival's other categories include Damien Chazelle, Phyllis Nagy, Tessa Thompson, Jane Campion, and Corey Stoll, among others.

"Sundance Institute will gather 20 celebrated and revered expert voices across film, art, culture and science to award feature-length and short films shown at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival," say the organizers, "with 12 prizes, announced at a ceremony February 2 that will be livestreamed at sundance.org."

Laurie Anderson's latest album, Landfall, her first collaboration with Nonesuch label mates Kronos Quartet, has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance and was included on 2018 year's best lists from Uncut, Guardian, The Quietus, and New Sounds, among others. Inspired by her experience of Hurricane Sandy, Landfall juxtaposes lush electronics and traditional strings by Kronos with Anderson's powerful descriptions of loss, from water-logged pianos to disappearing animal species to Dutch karaoke bars. The Washington Post calls it "riveting, gorgeous."

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is out now on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element.

    The Staves' new EP Happy New Year, out today, includes three acoustic versions of tracks from their new album, All Now—"I Don't Say It, But I Feel It," "After School," and "All Now"—and a cover of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home." Also out now: an acoustic performance video for "After School," which the duo calls "a love song to our sister Emily inspired by the bands we were listening to in the '90s. Putting on the rose-tinted glasses and embracing nostalgia."
