    "Myths, Dreams, and Fire"; NMS, Sat 27/4/19; 10:00pm

    No - nothing to do with the Boris Bus; Tom Service's monologue this week is interspersed with Music from

    Laurence Crane (b1961): Holt Quartet (played by the Bozzinis)
    Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes (b1977): Lighting the Fire (Estonian NNational SO/Taavi Kull)
    Elaine Mitchener (b1984): Myths and Dreams (the Composer [voice], Jason Yarde [Saxophones], Neil Charles [Bass])
    Eliane Radigue (b1932): Occam IV (Julia Eckhardt [viola])

    An attractive-looking programme - I find I get more involved with Radigue's Occam series the more I hear of it, so my thanks to the NMS for featuring it over the past couple of weeks. Elaine Mitchener is a powerful artist, whose performances involve dance and physical theatre, frequently to overwhelming effect. It will be interesting to hear how her "sound-only" work comes across over the airwaves.

    The best new music in live performance, plus interviews and features.

    With every passing week my heart sinks further. Not about the music, you understand, but since you're kind enough to list the works being performed I can find and hear them at my leisure without being told at great length how amazing they are.

      - the Music is the thing, that's why I'm carrying on drawing attention to the programme.

        And thanks very much as always, ferney.

        Just to draw attention to two fine young jazz musicians from the local scene being involved in this particular programme: saxophonist Jason Yarde, and bassist Neil Charles.

          I thought that there was some compelling music on the programme. If Tom Service could simply be 'very interested' rather than 'feverish' then it would be nigh-on perfect as a show.

            When they got rid of "very interesting" they substituted "feverish". When they get rid of "feverish" I wonder what they'll replace that with - "dead"?

              Yes I found Elaine Mitchener: Myths & Dreams full of Jazzy/ Afro influence, as one might expect - nice work

              At least TS gave Elaine a clear run without interrupting, or feeling the need to improve on her explanation of her work .
