Renowned for rescuing musical talent from oblivion, Chusid has produced landmark CDs featuring the music of Raymond Scott, Esquivel, Ernie Kovacs, the Shaggs, Lucia Pamela, and others. He has programmed free-form radio on WFMU since 1975. Chusid has written for New York Press, Pulse, New York Times, and the Baseball Research Journal. Songs in the Key of Z is his first book. Strange combinations and odd hybrids result often as much as novelty and invention.
Outsider music goes global.
