    Earness and Nowness

    For want of a more inspired heading to this week's offerings, I have fashioned the above as a possible alternative to Freeness for the Sunday programme's title. Nobody will take any notice, of course.

    Sat 15 Feb
    11.45am - Music Matters

    Late Molleson discusses the legacy of jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck (1920-2012). She's joined by Philip Clark, author of a new biography, and asks two current jazz composers, Liam Noble and Laura Jurd, for their views of the man known for Take Five ...

    5pm - J to Z
    Kevin Le Gendre presents a session from bassist Michael Janisch and his quintet, who perform music from their latest release Worlds Collide. And Canadian trumpeter Ingrid Jensen - who has worked with Maria Schneider, Terri Lyne Carrington and others - shares some of the music that inspires and has influenced her.

    "Hard-hitting grooves and bold electronic textures" from the Janisch quintet, we learn.

    Live music from bassist Michael Janisch, plus Joe Lovano’s inspirations.


    12midnight - Freeness
    Corey Mwamba presents music performed by cellist, sitarist and vocalist Pete Yelding. Plus music from Susana Santos Silva and her Impermanence quintet.

    HIndustani classical music-influenced improv provoking an ASMR reaction, according to the write-up below. ASMATICS advised to keep the puffer on hand.

    An improvisation rooted in Hindustani classical music and a tingling ASMR synth track.


    Sun 16 Feb - 4pm
    Jazz Record Requests

    With recordings by Freddie Hubbard, Tubby Hayes and Mary Lou Williams. Presented by Alyn Shipton.

    Taking sitars, I was watching a "swinging Sixties" film from c. 1966 with Warren Beatty and Susannah York* ("Kaleidescope") and apart from being not very good, it had a sitar predominantly featured on its pop soundtrack as a sign of "Beatlesque hipness". There was a slew of films around this time and on into the early seventies that had sitars pointlessly shoved up their background music, then suddenly it all stopped. It's "cultural"? how these things get picked up, saturated, and then suddenly & abruptly dumped and no more heard. Thankfully.

    *Ms York looked very OK in a white mini dress and what looked like a Bacofoil jacket. Some potato.

      Would there be shouts of protest at 'cultural appropriation' from those with political axes to grind if such a soundtrack were to be used these days?

              No, that, according to the late Brian Dennis, would be the Brahms Clarinet Quintet, which he reckoned offered the finest representation in music of projectile vomitting.

                I think you'll find that Ingrid Jensen has been dropped from J to Z

                    Was that deliberate or a typo?

                      Just my usual feeble attempt at a pun, cloughie.

                        Good one though!

                        Although I did have to look up ASMR to get the pun...

                        ... why can't they just say spine-tingling?

                          Because that might get some people's backs up?

                              There was a highly entertaining few minutes of Brad Mehldau August Ending on Night Tracks Wednesday evening, still available on BBC Sounds.

                              You might not think it is worth searching out, but SMP had sandwiched it between Haydn and Chopin, which strongly brought to my attention the artistry and imagination of a hardened Jazz man (acknowledging that Brad is not too popular in certain quarters!).
