Jon3 says Happy Birthday to Tim Berne
Jez Nelson presents a programme celebrating American saxophonist Tim Berne's 60th birthday, with live recordings from the Jazz on 3 archives.
Known for his uncompromising sound, Tim Berne first moved to New York in the 1970s to learn from saxophonist Julius Hemphill, whose gritty R&B style influenced Berne's own explorations of spiky melodies and shifting rhythms. Over the course of his career he has become one of the leading players in the city's avant-jazz scene, sharing stages with the likes of John Zorn and Bill Frisell while leading groups such as Big Satan with Tom Rainey and Marc Ducret as well as the BBC Trio with Jim Black and Nels Cline. Most recently, his Snakeoil quartet has become the saxophonist's main focus, receiving critical acclaim with two releases on the ECM label.
