Sat 7 Dec
5pm - J to Z
Julian Joseph presents a session by New York-based piano trio the Bad Plus, who combines avant-garde jazz with aspects of pop and rock. They perform from their new album, Activate Infinity. And jazz guitarist Bill Frisell shares tracks that have inspired him, including music by Bob Dylan and Keith Jarrett.
Er - shouldn't that be "who combine" - i.e. singular?? One maybe for Pedant's Corner. Oh and by the way The Bad Plus now have a new pianist who, to judge by the track broadcast a few weeks ago, is much better - in my view, of course.
12midnight - Freeness
Corey Mwamba presents jazz and improvised music with an adventurous spirit. Featuring an improvised performance by pianist Eliot Galvin recorded live in Paris, an oboe and double bass duet played by Melinda Maxwell and Sebastiano Dessanay, and music by instrument builder Vicgtor Gama.
Eliot Galvin - British jazz's answer to Harry Potter
? - see photograph. On the Sounds page it states that Mr Gama employs a 40 metre-long stringed instrument - wouldn't fit into my parlour. Anyway they'll all soon be needing passports and work passes...
