Corey Mwamba shares new improvised music and free jazz that lives in the present moment, from audacious experiments in extending the trumpet’s sound to propulsive free black metal courtesy of the Brussels-based quintet ZA?AR.

With a similarly wild energy, drummer Kate Gentile joins forces with saxophonist Jeremy Viner, pianist Matt Mitchell and bassist Kim Cass to deliver Find Letter X, an explosive tripartite album featuring wide-ranging sonic textures that blend mind-bending composition ideas with free improvisation.

Elsewhere in the show, we hear a track from the forthcoming debut album of Nicole Rampersaud, an improviser from Canada who has spent the past couple of decades pushing the boundaries of what is possible when it comes to generating sounds with her chosen instrument - the trumpet. The album, Saudade, incorporates granular processing, micro-loop pedals and glitch delay into her trumpet playing.
