Corey Mwamba picks a glowing selection of new free jazz and improvised music, featuring the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra performing at their home city’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, and a track from violinist Biliana Voutchkova and artist Jeff Surak, the results of their open-air sessions in the streets of Berlin. Also, with a deep and luminous sound emanating from Finland, the recently-formed sexted Muumiot warm the spirits during these cold winter nights with a piece taken from their debut album Gau Ri Laa.

Elsewhere in the show, we hear legendary improviser Evan Parker combine forces with Henry Dagg and his Stage Cage, a new electronic instrument that generates its own sounds as well as processing the notes of Parker’s soprano saxophone in real time. Plus a track from the forthcoming release of Japanese musicians Kawashima Makoto and Mochizuki Harutaka and French lapsteel player Michel Henritzi, who collaborated remotely in 2021 to create poignant lines inspired by Georg Trakl's poem, Nocturnal Song, their music an antidote to the darkness.
