´óÏó´«Ã½

Corey Mwamba shares new free jazz and improvisatory adventures including a piece inspired by the act of dropping a piano into deep waters by Swedish artists Rosanna Gunnarson and Karin Johansson. The musicians in question combined recordings of the instrument being lowered into the water and played while fish swum around it, with layers of improvisations on a prepared piano. It's a celebration of the Baltic Sea, exploring three unique sound worlds - one above the surface of the water, one below, and the one that is inside us. Elsewhere in the show, the duo of Crystabel Riley (drums) and Sue Lynch (tenor saxophone) offer an unreleased track from their recent studio recording, before we indulge in a fiery live performance by Bill Orcutt (four-string guitar), Tashi Dorji (guitar) and Joe McPhee (saxophone), recorded at the Issue Project Room, in Brooklyn, New York.
