Anthony Braxton's Falling River Music

First broadcast: Monday 14 January 2013

Prolific composer and multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton performs with his Falling River Music quartet, at a 400-year-old former pig barn in Austria!
Braxton - a pioneer of avant-garde and improvised music - is well known for challenging traditional compositional methods with approaches such as graphic scores and instructions left open to the performers' interpretation. Falling River Music is the composer's latest system, and Braxton - performing on alto and soprano saxophones - is joined by three stars from the younger generation of New York's experimental scene: cornettist Taylor Ho Bynum, saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and guitarist Mary Halvorson. Jazz on 3 trekked all the way to the tiny Austrian town of Ulrichsberg to record a stunning gig, in addition to which Braxton and his group explain the visual references and directions they use to create the music.

Don't seem to have a problem with Anthony Braxton, in contrast to many other contemporary musicians -just think animal sounds - as with Duke's early bands.

Chris Patten Shocked!

Addressing an angry Commons select committee yesterday, Chris Patten stated that he was deeply shocked that Charles Fox was no longer "with us" and had been "let go", and that the ENTIRE 2013 to 2045 BBC jazz budget had been spent on a leaving present (ocean going yacht) for Mark Thompson.

"I am ouraged!", says Lord Chris, quoting from "Casablanca". "We are all equally to blame...except me,"
