New Beginnings

Corey Mwamba presents contemporary music to soundtrack new beginnings and shifts in perspective, plus an international all-star line-up delivers a golden moment of transcendence.

Pianist and poet Robert Mitchell and cellist Shirley Smart continue their creative partnership: a quest in parts to recover and explore improvisation in Western classical music whilst melding it with other musical forms. Here they reflect on new ways of seeing and remembering through a track inspired by dappled sunlight dancing on an opal ring given to Smart by her grandmother. The Boston-based South Korean pianist Eunhye Jeong offers a sparse and charged study of new possibilities. Filled with different tonal registers, she creates a world of dynamic textures that glitter and crash: an apt soundtrack to new beginnings and shifts in perspective.

Plus, we travel back in time to the 1984 Jazz Jamboree in Poland for a performance featuring an all-star lineup including Cecil Taylor, Tomasz Stańko, Jimmy and Karen Lyons, and William Parker. A meeting of artists from across the world, it’s a truly golden moment of transcendence.
