Moment's Notice

Corey Mwamba presents new freewheeling music. Plus guest George Nelson - curator of the London-based night Moment's Notice - joins the show to share his love of improvisation.

Corey Mwamba presents new freewheeling music plus guest George Nelson shares his love of improvisation.

Alongside his work as a photographer, author and lecturer, Nelson is the curator of Moment's Notice, an improvised music series that takes place in London. With each edition, he invites five musicians to play in duo and trio formats, before joining in a collective ensemble at the end of the night. Key to Moment's Notice is the desire to bring into spontaneous collaboration musicians who might not have played together or met before. George describes the nights as an artistic challenge for the musicians, and, most importantly, a space where the work of listening is a shared practice between artists and the audience. He joins the show to share some of his favourite free music and his quest to tease out new possibilities in improvisation.

Elsewhere in the programme, we step into funk-filled reverie of "chromatic magic", otherworldly harmonies and off-kilter rhythms by way of Meshell Ndegeocello, who leads a group dedicated to the music and philosophies of Sun Ra. Plus, bassoonist Joy Guidry injects Max Roach鈥檚 classic Members Don鈥檛 Git Weary with fresh baptismal fervour.
