Puppy love

Join Verity Sharp in the doghouse for a selection of songs dedicated to man’s best friend, from Finnish jazz to electroacoustic experiments from Argentina.

Who let the dogs out? Late Junction ensures that every dog gets his day in this canine episode as Verity shares a selection of songs dedicated to man’s best friend.

There’ll be new jazz about street dogs from Helsinki’s Jonathan B​ä​ckstr​ö​m Quartet, and something from New York avant-garde legend Laurie Anderson, commemorating her beloved rat terrier Lolabelle. Plus electroacoustic experiments from Argentine composer Beatriz Ferreyra that she conceived for dog owners, dog dreams from San Francisco-based sound artist Lucy Liyou, and domestic music for sceptical dogs from Jamaican producer Gavsborg.

Produced by Kit Callin
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3
