JLU features JJ Trio

Julian Joseph Trio at the Turner Sims Hall, Southampton, in Jazz Line-Up's grand finale to the Music Nation weekend on Radio 3. Classic Jazz Standards together with Joseph originals are on the bill.

Jez Nelson presents improvised electronica quintet Spin Marvel in an exclusive session. The British-Norwegian band, formed by drummer and ex-Loose Tubes member Martin France, released its first album in 2005 and has been praised for its combination of groove-based music and exploration of electronic textures. They have recently collaborated with trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and the band also features guitarist John Parricelli, Tim Harries on bass and Terje Evensen as percussionist/'sound-audio editor'.

there is some risk that aka could get a tad carried away by electronic groove sounds ....

er get yer playlists up! surely this is possible by the Saturday before broadcast ... i mean it seems very easy to put opera on instead, why can't the play lists go up? if the jazz producers don't treat it seriously why should Squealer and the Pepsi man?

Jon3 newsletter says:

“Definitely a Miles Davis record I could have done without,” says jazz critic John Fordham of Doo-Bop, the album that was released in 1993 after the trumpeter’s death and built in part from the pasting together of fragments he recorded during his last hours in a studio. Tonight on Jazz on 3 we explore the decisions and processes involved in producing posthumous albums, paying a visit to the archives of improvising guitarist Derek Bailey in a feature that explores how such releases can impact on a jazz musician’s artistic legacy.
Studio wizardry is certainly a key element in the music of tonight’s main act, Spin Marvel. Led by drummer Martin France and featuring the Miles-esque tone of Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer, the band’s exclusive Jazz on 3 session is the result of an exciting day’s recording - where tight improvised grooves met Terje Evensen’s live electronica - subsequently sequenced and sharpened in the post-production studio. Prepare yourselves for something of a sonic odyssey, as the kind of eerily discordant industrial sounds more at home in a techno basement than a jazz club blend with waves of glitches, cymbal washes and the swirling undercurrents of Tim Harries’ bass guitar.
Before embarking on that particular voyage, Marcus O’Dair – recently returned from the 12 Points Festival in Porto – recommends music from two bands he encountered at this showcase for new and emerging European acts.
