Bostin’ Birmingham
Corey Mwamba shares new free jazz from Birmingham’s improvised music scene, with contributions from saxophonist Alicia Gardener-Trejo and promoter Tony Dudley-Evans.
Corey Mwamba shares new free jazz and the latest sounds in improvised music, plus we’ve the next stop on our journey around the UK in search of the country’s diverse and thriving improvised music scenes. Having recently explored Newcastle (hearing from artists Mariam Rezaei and Faye MacCalman), Birmingham is the next point on this improvised map. A true elder of the scene who has been promoting jazz sessions for over 40 years, Tony Dudley-Evans will open his archive for us, sharing memories about his favourite gigs; and we also hear saxophonist and educator Alicia Gardener-Trejo’s top tips for emerging Brummie talent.
Elsewhere in the show, a track from Superless, a new quartet with Eirik Hegdal (woodwinds and synth), Jeff Parker (guitar), Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (acoustic and electric bass) and Øyvind Skarbø (drums, percussion). Plus improvisations on a Persian poem with the Rahma Quartet.
