I assume you are being ironic.

I've taken a look, & as far as I can see Anthony Braxton has never been composer of the week. Now (a) he is a composer (among many other things) just to stop the pedants in their tracks (b) a towering figure in C20 / C21 music (c) has created a vast & various body of work. & yet George Lloyd, a minor symphonist of no distinctive idiom, was recently composer of the week. How can these strange oversights / anomalies occur?

Masami Akita has 'composed' an enormous body of work, but he's never been composer of the week either.

Because Braxton is a composer with real imagination who uses Music to communicate new ideas about how Life, the Universe and Everything can be different and better. Can't have that on R3 (certainly not before 10:30pm, nor more than twice a month) - you never know what might happen!

Good counsel ferney. I rather feared this could all be getting out of hand.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

weekends off innit ..... try Paris in August, it is all off ..... so instead of nipping about the place with a tape recorder and putting young people's live improvisatory works on the wireless we are subject to the peccadilloes of the parasites who run r3 as an expression of their own unending yoof ...

[btw i fail to get Braxton's music, his jazz playing is poor]

i slept my way in to the first act of Wagner yesterday pm [great nap] and woke to this wonderful music and then the lady sang ..... and i realised it was never going to work .... no amount of CBT will ever get me over the hump with the fat lady vibrato torture machine [and the blokes all shout] ....

no w in this
