Brian Weitz has been making music as Geologist with Animal Collective for going on two decades. The egg first cracked in the mid 90's at Baltimore record fairs and long overnight radio shows in New York on WKCR. Whether making sounds in the practice space or playing records, his bandmates call it the O'Brien System. One Tuesday each month you can go there with him on NTS 2.

Arnie Lawrence

Arnie Lawrence

Arnie Lawrence has been played on NTS in shows including Baba Stiltz , featured first on 18 March 2018. Songs played include Inside An Hour Glass and I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free.

Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1938, saxophonist Arnie Lawrence began his music career learning the clarinet. He had originally wanted to learn trumpet, but that instrument was too loud for apartment living. During the next two years, he listened to the records of the Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts - Stan Getz, Illinois Jaquet, Flip Phillips. They all played tenor saxaphone. So, at 14, Arnie Lawrence took up the tenor.

Switching to alto sax after a summer in the Catskill Mountains playing night club shows (all the parts were written for alto) Lawrence gigged around Long Island and even worked in a Dixieland band. Influenced by artists as diverse as Charlie Parker, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown and even Ornette Coleman, Arnie Lawrence was finally discovered by the great Enoch Light and recorded his first album; "You're Gonna Hear From Me" for the Project 3 label in 1966.
