Corey Mwamba shares audacious free jazz and specially-recorded reflections on the fearlessness of improvised music with Tennessee-born saxophonist and flautist Zoh Amba, whose forthcoming album The Flower School, with Chris Corsano and Bill Orcutt, will be out on the 21st of July.

Now based in New York, where she plays an active part in the city's buzzing improv scene, Amba is one of the most interesting emerging voices in free jazz today. We hear her talking about her musical aspirations and influences, as well as finding the balance between developing her personal sound and channelling the tradition of avant-garde saxophone masters.

Elsewhere in the show, an enigmatic track from the recently reissued album Old And New Dreams with Don Cherry (trumpet, piano), Dewey Redman (tenor saxophone, musette), Charlie Haden (bass) and Ed Blackwell (drums) who came together to celebrate the work of mentor Ornette Coleman. Plus an extract from saxophonist Evan Parker鈥檚 first solo performance in New York City, released 45 years after it was recorded.
