Rapturous Rhythms

Corey Mwamba shares a new take on jungle and a selection of energetic improvised music, from Alvin Curran’s polyrhythmic experiments to the drum-propelled adventures of Khan Jamal.

In his album ‘New Jazz Jungle: Remembering’, Pat Thomas revisits jungle music, combining his classical training with his experience in electronic music and sampling techniques. Originally released on CD in 1997, the 10 tracks have just been reissued on vinyl.

High-intensity drumming makes another appearance via Alvin Curran’s ‘Drumming Up Trouble’, a new album of hilarious hip-hop samples and drum-machine improvisations that explores the relationship between the most ancient dimension of music and contemporary technology.

Elsewhere in the show, a riotous drum-propelled live performance from Khan Jamal's Creative Arts Ensemble, a trailblazing saxophone solo from Coleman Hawkins, and an exclusive track from Jonathan Raisin and Nick Branton.
