´óÏó´«Ã½

Corey Mwamba presents improvisers' responses to social distancing. Saxophonist Caroline Kraabel performs a solo piece alongside a ticking clock and there’s remote music-making from Kit Downes on piano, cellist Lucy Railton, bassist Petter Eldh and saxophonist Tom Challenger. Plus, a live recording of Bex Burch’s band Vula Viel which is centred around the sound of her gyil, a wooden xylophone from West Africa. Recorded at London’s Cafe Oto they were joined on stage by a special guest, the American composer and trombonist Peter Zummo.
