Interesting programme. Take away the rhythm section and replace the horns with a string section, and the connection with Jazz is not outstandingly obvious.

The improv section between Mitchell, Lewis and Frith would have been worthy of Jon3, but for the orchestral pieces, I found myself listening with a pair of classical ears and intense concentration. Whereas for Jazz, I tend to let the music flow over me. May be I have got some way to go in my approach to listening - there must be a link-up somewhere!

For me the link-up is with the post-Boulez/Stockhausen avant-garde in the late 60s, subsequently virtually abandoned by the classical mainstream apart from often-m entioned examples on this forum, including a couple of contributers, and the improvised music scenes here and in other countries.
