Missing Bits: Barry Guy

Jez Nelson presents previously unheard tracks from the Jazz on 3 archives, including performances by the Barry Guy New Orchestra.

Jez Nelson delves into the Jazz on 3 archives to present previously unheard tracks by British bassist and composer Barry Guy and his twelve-piece New Orchestra, recorded at London's Caf茅 Oto in May 2014.

Known for his adventurous and demanding writing, Guy's music is highly scored, yet unpredictable in nature. This set features delicate arrangements designed to showcase baroque violinist Maya Homburger along with unusual instrumental techniques, sudden changes of texture and inspiring, freely-improvised contributions from saxophonist Evan Parker and pianist Agusti Fernandez.

Throughout the show, Jez is joined in the studio by jazz writer Kevin Le Gendre for a round-up of the best new releases, including albums by Brad Mehldau and Sons of Kemet.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Chris Elcombe.
