This is a repeat.
Sun 3 Sept
7.00 The Listening Service
Tom Service explores music's role in revolution and social change - from the Marseillaise to Strange Fruit, classical symphonies to hip-hop [...] while Kevin Le Gendre charts music's role in the civil rights movement ...
Half hour-long programme which might contain material of interest.
Mon 4 Sept
11.00 Jazz Now
Soweto Kinch presents a concert by the Ambrose Akinmusire Quartet recorded at the 2017 Wigan Jazz Festival in which up-and-coming trumpeter Akinmusire leads pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Justin Brown through a programme of original compositions. There is also music by the Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra.
Two Late Junctions of possible interest next week:-
Tues 5 11 pm includes ... Mike Cooper's raft-themed journey to the South Pacific, which blends freestyle bluesy guitar and ambient exotica - people (this is me writing now) of sufficient age might remember Mike as a late 60s folkie who turned to jazz musicians including Louis Moholo and Mike Osborne for a couple of early 1970s recordings, and later formed a free improv trio with Lol Coxhill and Roger Turner called The Recedents, based, according to Charles Fox, on respective hairlines
And...
Thurs 7 11.30 Verity Sharp with music from downtown New York improv guitarist Mary Halvorsen and her octet... among other stuff.
For lovers of Ms Halvorsen, Ingrid Laubrock and/or Anthony Braxton - not that I know if either of the latter two are featured here.
Apologies for the duff GSJ link last week, btw...
