Adventures in Sound at the 2013 London Jazz Festival
Jez Nelson presents highlights from Adventures in Sound, an afternoon of free improvisation at the 2013 London Jazz Festival.
Jez Nelson presents highlights from Adventures In Sound, an afternoon of improvisation at the 2013 London Jazz Festival curated by Jazz on 3.
Featured sets include the bass-led Luc Ex Trio, where heavily improvised pieces build through the saxophone dialogues of Ab Baars and Ingrid Laubrock, while Ex's acoustic bass guitar growls and prompts emerging themes. British guitarist Anton Hunter and his trio touch on a very different landscape, with a beautiful set of slow-burning melodicism. The spirit of Adventures of Sound - mixing up the bands into spontaneous ensembles - comes to the fore in a group featuring American drummer Jeff Williams and electronics whiz Leafcutter John, alongside Ex and Laubrock.
Also on the programme we celebrate the 70th birthday of composer and bandleader Henry Threadgill, getting the inside track on the man and his music from some of his closest colleagues over the years.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Chris Elcombe.
