Corey Mwamba presents an improvised performance from flautist Nicole Mitchell and pianist Alexander Hawkins in duo, specially recorded for Freeness at the Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music in 2022.

Founder of the Black Earth Ensemble, and the first woman president of Chicago鈥檚 legendary Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, Mitchell is an American flautist and composer known for her work across free jazz and new music. At this year's edition of the Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music, she joined forces with British piano virtuoso Alexander Hawkins to deliver an inventive and critically-acclaimed performance at the city's Lit & Phil Library.

The Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music, which took place over the first weekend of October, is an eagerly anticipated annual celebration of adventurous music from around the world. Since 2017, it has showcased new talent alongside established names on the scene, and elsewhere in the show, Corey selects highlights from other artists who appeared at the 2022 edition.
