Mesmerising Performances

Corey Mwamba shares new and archival performances from around the world: historic sets from Glasgow, an intimate set in a London park and freewheeling experimentalism in Tokyo.

Corey Mwamba shares forgotten archive recordings of performances from the iconic Glasgow cultural venue, the Third Eye, now known as CCA. Part of an online project called Jazz At The Third Eye led by writer and researcher Stewart Smith, which is restoring old performances, and commissioning contemporary artists to respond to the collections. Elsewhere in the programme, we hear a freewheeling intimate set from multi-instrumentalist trio Kalul茅, Shipsey and Cicone played in a London park at dusk amid birdsong and long grass to a live audience. Plus, a hypnotic live set from The Geordie Approach - a collaboration between British player Chris Sharkey on electronics and Norwegian artists St氓le Birkeland on drums and Petter Frost Fadnes on alto saxophone and electronics. The trio played at SuperDeluxe, a hub for experimental music in Tokyo, alongside the virtuoso koto player Michiyo Yagi, it's a masterful example of deep listening in real time and the joy of live music.
