H&N on Saturday, 11th March, 2017, is devoted to works performed at Emulsion V, a celebration of new Improvisatory Music, founded, instigated and curated by composer/saxophonist Trish Clowes (b1984). The works in the broadcast were recorded at the Festival on 27th January, and the Festival itself was presented by Fiona Talkington - and selections from the whole Festival have already been broadcast on Late Junction and Jazz Now, but for H&N, Clowes is in discussion with Sara Mohr-Pietsche.

That sounds like it could be interesting! I see one of the pieces is by the wonderfully named Percy Pursglove. I hope he's also playing in the ensemble because IMO he's the most interesting improvising trumpet player in the UK. Not sure about this though: "Also tonight, American saxophonist Colin Stetson's re-imagining of Gorecki's classic Symphony No 3." When I "re-imagine" that piece I put it from my mind as quickly as possible and move on to something less depressing. Or is "re-imagining" just a hipster word for "arrangement"? -
Yes - I deleted a comment to the effect that it wouldn't take very much extra "imagining" to improve it. But it's another recording from last year's HCMF, so I thought I should be more loyal!Originally posted by Richard Barrett View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment
