J*** stuff on Radio 3

Posted by: Dev B on 26 November 2002

Did anyone hear the Tomasz Stanko performance last Friday on Radio 3. Recorded live at the Purcell Room South Bank Centre, broadcast on R3 from 11.30pm - I recorded it from the NAT 01 on to CDR and it is musically stunning.

Coming up, and this one is for you John C (I will be recording this too):

Adventures in Sound - part 1

In the first of two programmes, Jez Nelson presents highlights from the Adventures in Sound day, recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall during last month's London Jazz Festival.

Jointly curated by Jazz on 3 and the London Jazz festival, the event features some of the most progressive and inspired performers on the global scene. Hailing from Norway the Scorch Trio are a metal punk jazz outfit fronted by Raoul Bjorkenheim, featuring the heavyweight rhythm section of Ingerbrigt HÃ¥ker Flaten and Paal Nilssen-Love.

The UK is represented by maverick young pianist Matthew Bourne, with his drum and bass influenced collective the Electric Dr M, and British saxophone godfather Evan Parker performing a solo set. Completing the line up, the Matthew Shipp Trio from New York, again featuring two of the biggest names around in the rhythm section William Parker and Tom Rainey, plus cutting it up on the decks and electronics, the pioneering DJ Spooky.

With such an eclectic collection of like-minded musicians gathered for the event Jazz on 3 takes advantage of the unique opportunity for some unique collaborations alongside group and individual performances.

Dev,

I've also got this on the PC hard-drive (bloody thing's to long for a single 80min CD...) awaiting editing and burning.

It was stunning though, some of this stuff is much better than my CD5 and that's with just a modded NAD tuner.

Will look out for the other one, Late Junction has also been playing some good Jazz from the festival - worth tuning in for.

Andy.

Dev,

Yes I recorded it too. Lots of good stuff being broadcast at the moment, finding it difficult to keep up. Where did you see the details of the forthcoming Adventures in Sound broadcast?

Devmeister, first of all congratulations! I suspect there will lots of nights curled up in front of the wireless rather than chilled in Fabric now.

I was out of town for the Adventures in Sound but caught a little of it on the excellent BBC4. Evan Parker appeared to be the highlight. I'lll be interested in what you think of DJ Spooky, though he's clearly more a studio than live man.
