Hans Koller's Twelve Re-Inventions for George Russell
Soweto Kinch presnets a concert given at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham by Hans Koller and his quartet, with the world premiere of Koller's Twelve Re-Inventions for George Russell.
Pianist Hans Koller has long admired the late American theorist and jazz composer George Russell. In tonight's show from the CBSO Centre in Birmingham, we hear the World Premiere of Hans's new composition "Twelve Re-Inventions for George Russell". Compositionally, it combines elements of Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organisation with the serial techniques of the Second Viennese School. Koller's quartet with innovative New York saxophonist John O'Gallagher and influential UK-based American drummer Jeff Williams are joined by members of the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group for this first performance. Soweto Kinch presents the concert and talks to Hans about how the work draws on such diverse influences. He also meets veteran US pianist Ran Blake, who has just issued a new album on Impulse inspired by the movies of Claude Chabrol, but whose back catalogue has recently been reissued a giant boxed set. Emma Smith has more news about next month's televised final for the 大象传媒 Young Jazz Musician of the year.
