Carols re-imagined

Corey Mwamba offers a feast of festive improvisation and Christmas carols re-imagined, with specially recorded contributions from Cath Roberts, Matthew Bourne and Ute Wasserman.

Corey Mwamba offers up a feast of festive improvisation and Christmas carols re-imagined. Among the experimental wassailers to knock on the Freeness front door are baritone saxophonist and improviser Cath Roberts, Yorkshire-based keyboard adventurer Matthew Bourne and German vocalist Ute Wasserman, all three bearing gifts in the form of specially-recorded takes on popular seasonal tunes.

Elsewhere in the show, there's jazz and improvised music to get us into the festive mood including Pat Thomas playing Duke Ellington's hymn to the sabbath, Come Sunday, and the tinselled sound of Martin Payne and David BeeBee's vibraphone-and-Fender Rhodes-electric-piano combination. Plus, Rhodri Davies鈥檚 whirling improvisations on lap harp.
